Apparently tracking down criminal excerpting here on FR is the news cause celeb. I want to congratulate you three in particular for making sure this criminal activity is put to a stop.

I’ve posted probably 5 articles over the last six months on FR and excerpted every one. No one ever said a peep and frankly I never even considered it to be an issue.

“Can’t read it, it’s not posted here.”

You can’t read it cause it’s posted on a Google server somewhere on planet earth, but if it’s posted on a FR server somewhere on planet earth then you’re happy?

If FR wants me to post articles in full that’s fine. The first I was made aware this was even an issue was from snarky remarks from you three accusing me of trying to steal from FR. Wouldn’t a more mature way of letting me know that FR wants articles to be posted in full, have been to just tell me, instead of accusing me, with a bunch of snarky posts, of stealing away FR viewers in order to carry out my nefarious business plan?

I'm glad you were made aware of this issue.

My biggest problem with you is that you're here, on a conservative forum, arguing that the Marxist Kenyan in the White House would be better for us over the next four years than the pro-capitalism guy. That's a pretty big problem. You've dug yourself into a hole on this thread while ignoring everything Carnegie taught us about winning friends and influencing people. Perhaps you should stop digging your hole and find another place - that likes Obama as much as you do - to call home.

Don't go away mad, just go away.

Well, like I said it’s a community and we jump on these pretty quick but “Snarkiness and Sarcasm are just a few of the free we provide”.

Can’t have bloggers taking over the place and pushing all the other articles further down so they don’t get read and discussed.

Like I said, no problem with blogging. If you want to post the article in full for our disussions great. Otherwise, you will be placed in the bloggers section, where you can excerpt all you want.

Me? If I felt I had something really important to say and promote a position I’d want it given to the biggest audience.

The bloggers section really isn’t read by many people here on FR. There are those who love to read bloggers but, I think you want to the largest audience here to read your musings. So post it in full and make a name for yourself or go live on Blog Island.

Personally, I’m hoping you take the position that you want to share your thoughts with all of us.
