mk wrote a blog post in response to one of my first advanced apes blog posts:

I ended up realizing Hubski was a great place to share and discuss content. There was much more online accountability compared with sharing and discussing content on reddit. Feels like a community.

I like that people such as you and lil can share your content here, discuss it with other users who are interested, and not have to worry about getting banned for linking to your own site. Its symbiosis, IMO, and it looks like it works pretty well.

thanks for saying so. and now theadvancedapes and I have planned a meetup so I can (1) pass on some hubski stickers and a thenewgreen cd and (2) discuss punctuation. I will, however, never forget JakobVirgil's famous statement:

    If some one comments on your grammar rather then you're reasoning it means you won.

I don't get why one would ban someone for posting their own content. Own content is content all the same, and if you can talk to the one who created it, you can find out more about what their inspiration to create it was. And what they meant with the creation.

Also, don't forget #tngpodcast :P

That's one of my biggest pet peeves about the web. People have to go through such weird social contortions in order share something that they created or wrote.

IMO it is the content that determines whether or not something has value, not who shared it.

If you create something of value, you made the world a better place. You shouldn't have to wait for someone else's validation, especially from those that have contrinbuted less.
