Well, John, you don't use the writing of people who are trying to earn a living as a means of free promotion. If you want to promote someone, you do it in your own writing.

You are not the first person who has thought that because I have more followers than they have, that they it's okay or clever to use their stream to promote something.

It's not acceptable. I have, therefore, hidden your comment from my stream so that people can't see it. Please don't use my writing to promote whatever.
