I have a FRiend, who was very active a few years ago, who assured me it was the case that Mitt posted under an assumed name here to argue his case. But, I have no hard proof to give you.
That doesn’t matter, because its not my point. Usually you jump on people who are linking in their personal blogs to boost their publicity under false or misleading pretense. Such as, someone who both posts here and links their own blog as if its original news.
I’m usually glad you’re on that. But, if someone makes it clear its his or her work, I don’t think its necessary to dump on them. Here, you’ve given a link of Jesse articles. Did he originally link them here anonymously under false pretence? If so, go git ‘im. If its just out front self-publicity of someone we generally agree with, I don’t mind.
Would you dump on Victor David Hanson if he posted his articles here as a courtesy? I hope not.
So, I was thinking you were mixing the cases here—the deceptive versus the obvious promotion.
I do. I don't contribute to Free Republic in order to provide an advertising platform to self promoters.

In full or as an excerpt?
It makes a huge difference.
