You'll find hundreds of posts pimping and linking to blogs. Besides, blogs are part of the community claims to support. I long ago started removing all refs to BA from my site simply because of the bad attitude the "Brothers" have that I feel does more harm to the community than good. They are VERY paranoid. Todd claims “We delete posts that link to blog sites”

We delete posts that link to blog sites ... this is a blog nothing more, nothing less. BA is not here as a promotional tool for other beer sites rather to focus on the beer industry, culture and community. We already cover the news. We actually don't want extra traffic now due to our server being nearly maxed out ... no paranoia here. LOL!!! Your simply broke the rules … nothing more, nothing less.

Their insecurity runs so deeply, that fear and censor any controversy or perceived challenges to their dellusional spot in beer culture. Their removal from all things craft beer would do a great service to the overall community. I await their failure Bottom line:

The Alstroms are paranoid. Beer Advocate is turning into a "What's in your fridge?" and "Latest Haul", type of forum without any real substance or information. You've cornered the beernews market and your support will continue to grow! Cheers! You’re surprised about this? The Alstroms are paranoid.

It is this same level of over-control that has brought down the quality of BA over the last few years. Things were great where using content drove the direction of the site.
