It's not about terms of service. It's just what cgod said: talk to people. Look around, find interesting things to talk about. Join in on conversations. Sharing is not only acceptable, but encouraged. But this is not a replacement for RSS feed. You create stuff? That's cool. But most people here would also like to know a person behind what he shared.

Perhaps it was presumptuous of us/me, but take a look at #spam content. We have easily hundreds of people, spammers or not, who simply slap a link and don't even try to engage. This is largely not a place for that. Talk about what happened to you recently at Pubski (a weekly thread where we update each other, very informal and not unlike a pub meeting between friends). While, after further consideration, I have to say that you might have got harsher treatment than deserved, it was an honest advice. If you share it for education, I (and probably most people here) don't have a problem with it. If it's like the mentioned hundreds who hope to get traffic it's not a good place for it. On that note, that's a thing despite the fact that whole user-base of Hubski is probably less than most subreddits.

Other than that: chill a bit. You got an advice, even if delivery could have been better, not a slap and attack. Although truth be told, I can sympathise with some level of backlash. No-one likes unexpected critique. If you are one of those people who don't want to initiate talks, you have mine apology and I hope that you will not hold a grudge about staring on a wrong foot. Frankly, the mere fact that you have even checked answers is a good sign. But as, I hope a bit friendlier, advice: majority of people here don't seem as militant on the subject of your blog as you come off.
