The Polar Vortex Thing Sounds too "Wag the Doggish" for me

But the deal now is that they are all using *polar vortex* as the new *beat the drum* buzz word du jour.

Just last winter, a polar vortex was called an Alberta Clipper. Last time the term was in the news (that I recall) was in the late 70's. Clear back when global cooling was the big fear. 20 below here the last two nights and impassable roads. Ready to get out and about here!

A.K.A. The Montreal Express.

I guess what part of Canada attacks us depends on where we live in the US.

Thanks! Still true and bears repeating in full:

Believe it or not, once upon a time vanities were frowned upon by our participants. FR’s original format was established to not only fight for liberty and against government abuse/corruption, etc, but to criticize the liberally biased mainstream media. Therefore our original format was to post from valid NEWS sources and government reports, etc, and to tear them down where deserved. Vanity posters were shunned (unless they were very good).

Then a few years ago the blogger craze started. At first, most of them were treated simply as vanities and were pulled or zotted on sight. Eventually some were accepted as valid material on FR. And soon the blogger wars commenced. To allow blogs or not to allow blogs was the question. Can’t go blanket either way. Like it or not, some blogs are better than most others.

So, long story short, we created a special forum for blog posts. This was in lieu of simply deleting all blog posts. The theory was that as long as they were posted in the bloggers forum, those who didn’t wish to read them could simply click on the “news” forum and they wouldn’t see them. But, of course, as some blogs are definitely better than most others and some are much better than your typical mainstream news sources, we soon allowed certain blogs to be posted regularly to the news section.

This all worked more or less to a certain degree without too much friction until the non-commenting, short-excerpting, long-complaining blog pimp was born.

I have no complaint if a good conservative blogger posts his own material to FR, not as an excerpt to drive hits and discussion back to his blog, but rather to impart useful information to OUR readers and to promote and join in on the discussion and conservative activism HERE on FR.

If a blogger can’t or refuses do that, and if he constantly complains or fights with our participants over it, then I’d just as soon he doesn’t post here. It’s not my job to make his content or his presentation or cooperation acceptable to our readers. That’s his job. And if he cannot do it or refuses to do it and continues posting brief excerpts only and obviously attempting to draw away our participants while loudly complaining about it, then I have no sympathy for his complaints and the more apt I am to ban his account and blog.

Furthermore, I’m not big on “rules.” You won’t see me posting rules for bloggers. The rules for bloggers on FR are the same as the rules for everyone else. If you are a good conservative activist and are willing to work with US on OUR goals and causes and not against US, then you’re welcome to post to FR. But unless we say otherwise your blog material should be posted to our bloggers forum and it would be best if you do not excerpt your own material and if you would actually join in on the discussion here on FR. We’re not really that interested in driving OUR traffic to YOUR blog. But if our readers see that you post useful information then they might start reading your site and that’s fine by me.

Well I see he rode the lightening, but I imagine he will keep reading this thread as he seethes below his framed document on the wall behind him showing he got an ONLINE Bachelor's degree...

Yep, I could post his whole article here in a minute or so as I have a neat little app called "view partial source."

But being as on his blog he has posted a picture from the LA Times (without attribution, he moved it to his blog to steal it) it can't be posted here.

I noticed he said this:

I don’t ever recall reading anything on this sight that was very pleasing to look at.
Well, either his eye "site" isn't very good or he doesn't like women:


(Three out of 4 ain't bad...)


"Carrie" Prejean [L], former Miss California USA 2009 and Miss USA 2009 first runner-up.



All posted on FR and quite pleasing to look at...and yes pictures can be "read!"

Oh my God! I had no idea this was just another name for Alberta Clippers. Thanks for passing that along; although my blood pressure certainly raises with this amount of dishonesty in their reporting...

Nationally.

From your blog:

"Defending Life, Liberty, and the Constitutional Right to own Private Property"

Except the LA Times?

You posted their picture (without attributing them and sneaked it onto your blog site url) so they don't have a "Constitutional Right to own Private Property" but you do???

Comeon, defend their right and turn yourself in for copyright violation...

I’m all for giving the full Undead Thread treatment to the next blogpimp who tries to be apocalyptically stupid.

Oh, by the way, I may have forgotten to mention this .....

It's not a real good idea to complain to The Boss or the Mods about trivial stuff.

Ooopsie! Too late.

Oh well.
