Generally, it is not acceptable to link to your own blog. This has been all over the news today and Im sure you could find a link to the news story that wasn't to your blog.

I didn't link to a news story because my link is not a news story.

It is an opinion piece. BUT, there is no opinion category on Plime. Sorry for any confusion.

What you could do is point to the news story and write your thoughts as a reply to the posting.

Or even link to the article on your site as a reply a posting linking to the news story.

Another excellent option is to post your thoughts on any subject in the forums which is ideal for personal opinions

I agree that it's a personally biased piece. I have some conflicting opinions...

Wow, a person gets voted off of Plime for expressing an opinion about a current event posted on their own blog?

That's the first step in Plime going under because users won't stand for any censorship. If someone is recklessly posting on the site, then yes, but opinions are not spamming or phishing or spreading hate or lies - it's an opinion. FREE SPEECH FOREVER@! LIBERTY OR DEATH!!

to those reading i just read a book called invisible chains about the kidnapping of shawn hornbeck and ben ownby, and i truly wish a world like this didn't exist. I wonder how these 2 boys cope day by day, especially shawn. It makes me very sad and i cried multiple times throughout the book...i pray God gives peace to their minds and souls...please pray for these young men!
