Since as far as I can tell, all of the Freethought Blogs link only to other Freethought Blogs on their sidebars, I'm not going to link to any of them myself on my own sidebar.
Update Oct. 14: Ed Brayton links outside FtB, so he'll go on my sidebar.

Please pick a handle or moniker for your comment. It's much easier to address someone by a name or pseudonym than simply "hey you". I have the option of requiring a "hard" identity, but I don't want to turn that on... yet.
With few exceptions, I will not respond or reply to anonymous comments, and I may delete them. I keep a copy of all comments; if you want the text of your comment to repost with something vaguely resembling an identity, email me.
No spam, pr0n, commercial advertising, insanity, lies, repetition or off-topic comments. Creationists, Global Warming deniers, anti-vaxers, Randians, and Libertarians are automatically presumed to be idiots; Christians and Muslims might get the benefit of the doubt, if I'm in a good mood.
See the Debate Flowchart for some basic rules.
Sourced factual corrections are always published and acknowledged.
I will respond or not respond to comments as the mood takes me. See my latest comment policy for details. I am not a pseudonomous-American: my real name is Larry.
Comments may be moderated from time to time. When I do moderate comments, anonymous comments are far more likely to be rejected.
I've already answered some typical comments.
I have jqMath enabled for the blog. If you have a dollar sign (\$) in your comment, put a \\ in front of it: \\\$, unless you want to include a formula in your comment.

That's a shame, I hadn't noticed that before. Have you attempted to raise the issue with them? It would be good if they linked to external blogs which are related to the subject matter each one discusses, rather than just repeating the same FTB blogroll on every page.
ReplyDeleteHave you attempted to raise the issue with them?
DeleteI haven't. I'm fairly busy, and I don't have any clout: That I don't link to them will probably cost them ones of readers.
Ed Brayton regularly links to other websites that he then comments on. I can't vouch much for other bloggers there either way though.

I'll still link in-post to specific items I think are interesting; I've removed FtBs only from my sidebar links.
DeleteAh, on the sidebar. Thanks. I am a little slow sometimes when it comes to internet references and terms. Though I did just check a small number of blogs on FtB and some of them did have external blogs linked to on the sidebar, and some did not not. The ones that did, had the links posted further down, so maybe you just have to scroll down a bit more before you get to them. Otherwise, it looks to be a policy not of FtB but probably of the individual bloggers who they have on their sidebar. For instance, PZ had some, Greta Christina, Blag Hag (who is not posting currently, however) have external links posted.
