I don’t think that’s right. I think humblegunner is trying to help keep FR ad-free. When a blog-owner posts an excerpt of a blog article, that is an ad to go read the rest of the article on his site.
What is preventing the owner from posting the entire article?
Why not just post the entire article?
Because what the owner is doing really is posting an ad.
On an ad-free site.
I would go visit a blog if the entire article was posted so that my visit is voluntary.
I never visit a blog that is essentially saying “click on me or you don’t get to read the article”.
F that.
