Well, the thing is that this particular pimp hides behind
the OC Register’s excerpt requirements. You’ll never see
me admonishing him to post the full content.
This is a pimp of a different stripe, but a pimp all the same.
You’ll note that his article history shows he only posts his
own material here. This indicates that he is using Free Republic
as an advertising platform, part of his “business model”:

You see, he does not participate in the forum other than to
post his own material, hoping for a few free clicks from FReepers.
His comment history bears this out as well:

Definitely a pimp and well deserving of scorn.
Well, I'll be damned. That's despicable. I withdraw my complaint.
Carry on, sir.
