Ripping off another site on your blog is uncool. Posting it on FR as an excerpt to drive hits to your blog is even more uncool. Having it be a copyright-restricted source is really, really, really uncool. Throw in the fact that you are a retread blog pimp and the en banc Kitteh appeals court has reached a unanimous verdict.
How is that a Stars and Stripes article?
Good question. It looks like a BLOG to me.
Aren’t Stars and Stripes on the no-Freep list anyway?
The author is a reporter for Stars & Stripes. It is being carried by another site.
These days, with the generals/admirals who are kow-towing to Obama, I am not to sure if the bases are secure from outside OR if from within.
How safe is a shopping mall? How safe is a hospital? How safe are gun-free zones?
“Heavily Armed”
I carry that much hunting. Or maybe not. I don’t have a AR-15 shotgun.
One shotgun= heavily armed. I guess he had a stolen handgun too.
So if I get pulled over going to a three-gun match, I’m at platoon strength?
If that is heavily armed on a military installation, I must qualify as a world power.
Not safe at all for the disarmed folks forced to abide the insane no-carry rules.
hg - you’re slipping.
TOL - call the usual suspects.
I'm allowed three fifteen minute breaks per shift.
Staffing cuts due to the Obama regime have resulted in slower response times.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
another boring thread about people posting from their blogs and sites. Tiresome. Some of the best of conservative sites got their start here at FR. I have been here a long time and this sort of picking away at people is one of the big reasons we have lost so many Freepers.
Knock it off.
Could be. Which ones?

Says who?
How exactly does a blogpimp excerpting on FR in order to advertise his blog benefit FR?
Isn't the blogpimp just acting as a parasite?
Particularly since in many cases the material he presents is stolen from another source.
Why exactly do you think that half-assed thieving blogpimps
should feel free to abuse FR in order to direct traffic to their stolen material?
The poster in question was ripping off copyright content from a source that is restricted at FR.

That I understand. But the constant picking at people who have sites and blogs.
It’s hard out here for a blog pimp.
Malkin, Coulter, WND, PJ Media, Lucianne, come to mind. Some left to start their own site, boards but many of them were promoted here by self or friend.
I say so. Your constant picking has been nothing but a distraction and a bullying and it has stopped many people. I have talked to them on and off this site. I have watched it and have said nothing for years. Tired of it.
I will tell you how bloggers benefit FR. It gives us more links, and most of all it gives us more content and connection to other Conservative thinkers. It helps the Conservative community as a whole. I love reading new and old writers and delving into their work. Nothing worse than conservatives cutting each other off at the knees.
No they are not parasites. They contribute perspective and content. I do not condone stolen material but a lot of it isn’t.
FR used to be an incubator for the best of conservative thought. My own site was featured here years ago. I was proud of it and it got me noticed and continued the conservative conversation.
Frankly I think your actions and perspective is helping to kill this site.

If so, and it has stopped them using Free Republic as nothing more than a source of free advertising.. then I am well pleased.

Why couldn't this content be posted right here on Free Republic?
Because the blogpimp wants to direct traffic to his blog, that's why.
Because the blogpimp thinks that he should be paid for his posts
here, even if he ripped them off somewhere else. You like apples?
My own site was featured here years ago. I was proud of it and it got me noticed and continued the conservative conversation.
Really. What "site" was that?
Did you have advertising and a hit counter?
Fact is there isn't any reason for self-published bloggers or
most other types not to post their (stolen, re-worded) material
right here on Free Republic. Unless they are scamming hits.
How about them apples?
Isn't a parasite always detrimental to its host organism? Are blogpimps detrimental to FR? Annoying, sure, but harmful?
They sure ain't beneficial.
Don’t all articles come from somewhere? Doesn’t language eminate from some other place. You didn’t write that article! Somebody else made that happen!
I’m still chafing over the “constant picking” remark.

No I didnt
I missed this one myself.
Is he on the “undead fodder” list?
I have to agree with the moderator and Hummblegunner. I post some of my stuff from Examiner which must be excerpted.
Since it is my work I also post the article in its entirety in the comments section. I give the readers here the option of clinking on my link but not the necessity to read the article.
So why post on FR? I like to get opinions on my work. Freepers can be brutally honest and the grammar Nazis will turn you in for every mistake. I write to be read, and articles I think are of interest to Freepers I post under bloggers and personal.
I does get my goat when I see others posting excerpts only from Examiner or other blogs. If they really want to share and not just generate hits why not post the whole article? (I am assuming most posts are from the author). Don’t even get me started on bloggers who just copy other articles and call it their own. What’s the point? For a few pennies the writer is ensuring fewer readers when uncovered.
In other words, you were drunk. ;-)
I agree 100%!
Here’s another fact:
Many businesses’ IT departments have firewalls that block unknown websites. Sometimes certain individuals in IT can get political and block Free Republic but allow Huff Post, Daily Kos, & even DU. Many Freepers have fought this hypocrisy and got management to unblock Free Republic or block Leftist sites, also.
So having fought hard to keep Free Republic as an approved site no one wants to see it degenerate into a blog aggregator of blocked sites that are impossible to read. If I excerpt my own blog and you can’t go to it—you cannot read the article. It’s just wrong.
Of course, there is the point of not surfing political sites at all—after all, you are supposed to be working, not surfing, on company time... But employers often lets workers use the computer while on break, lunch, etc., and that’s true for millions of workers.
Without a content concentrator, most of the material you speak of would not be read. Is that the objective?
The objective is for bloggers to post their full content rather than an excerpt.
No reason exists for them to excerpt their own material.
In what way does that keep anything from being read?
“Malkin, Coulter, WND, PJ Media, Lucianne, come to mind. Some left to start their own site, boards but many of them were promoted here by self or friend.”
Did they then provide a financial donation to FR for their financial success? No? Parasites. Using someone else’s software, servers, and bandwidth to financially benefit themselves. It would a symbiotic relationship if one fed the other, but when it is a one-way blog-pimper’s street then there is no relationship.
Which blog? Tell me, and I will read it straight from the source.....
They're not, they're killing fields. We've seen that time and time again.
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . . don't be shy.
” Which blog? Tell me, and I will read it straight from the source.....”
I love when people try to be so clever they get reeeeeal stupid.
Why don’t you read the note by admin mod for in the article section.
Then read the link and info provided by shibumi in post 26.
Link in post 26 is forum policy by forum owner by the way.
Wanna argue it out?
Bother the one who made it!
Excerpting your blog in order to try and drive traffic from here to your blog for sitehits is scummy and will earn one a well deserved thumping.
As for lotr01, he stole content that is disallowed on FR, claimed it as his own, AND tried to blimp his pog.
He found the trifecta of stupid.
Sorry I’m late, awesome Admin Moderator.
A couple of days ago, the phone line in my area got cut by the city mower, and *poof* no Internet, and no phone.
Don’t beat up on my friend, HG. He was keeping an eye on me the whole time. Well, a phone call or two, anyway.
Piling on! Way to go to boot out a troll!
Yes! That's it. Gun free safe zones! wait...
Wouldn't I be safer with this, inside or outside of those zones?
Yes, Sir! I shall not pimp a blog!
Hi, sweetie! You always have a clever reply. I’m late, but better late than never!
