That was the announcement of the blog forum. Due to vile pimping, the link I posted was a clarification of what is acceptable and what is not on Free Republic. You say you have seen it, but did you read and understand it?
Blog pimp apologists such as yourself are either too stupid to understand the difference between a blogger and a blog pimp, or they pretend not to understand that difference as they defend the thieving business platforms of their blog-pimp buddies.
So which are you?
Mr. Robinson disliked blogs before he liked them and then he liked some blogs more than others but he is unwilling to post any clarification of any rules and seems content to let uncouth behavior dominate threads where the readers (usually numbering 6 or 7 comments) have NO complaint until the Freebeater Squad appears at which point the thread balloons into anywhere from 16 to upwards of hundreds comments mostly between two or three stalwart defenders of civilization and family values and a self selected posse of bored graffiti artists.
With the demise of the click counter Freepers cannot even objectively determine how many views these posts generate on Free Republic let alone "divert traffic" to other sites.
I venture to guess 25 to 50 would be large amount on a GOOD Day and most often much fewer than that.
I got sucked into this discussion because the one activity I quietly enjoyed for over a year FROM EXACTLY ONE BLOG somehow came to the attention of the Eye Of Mordor and all hell broke loose for absolutely NO REASON.
It may not be the world's greatest blog, but it certainly does not appear to be a malignant blog and I certainly did not deserve the attack I received because it interested me.
To sum up: you people troll around insignificant threads and stir up a tempest in a teapot to satisfy some inner deficiency of yours which accomplishes nothing but to give Free Republic a black eye and throw "the baby out with bathwater"
Sorry, these are not the behaviors I associate with a Family Oriented Conservative Website.
So I will give you this: I should probably not bother to spend any more time with this nonsense.
There are good people who contribute to this site.
I hope they do not find their reputations tarnished by actions of a few ignorant childish trolls who might even be classified as disruptor infiltrators.
