If Caged Great had seeked permission to promote and link his articles then I appologize and have no problem with it. But from my perspective hey he's a member here, why not express his opinion here, include his blog in his sig, and then write whatever he wants elsewhere? To be fair, if I have a blog of my own, I don't think it's fair for me to make a thread about every article I wrote and direct traffic to my site.

Simmer2 is correct, you do come off as pompous. Just because CG asked for the thoughts of members on his post doesn't mean you have to be arrogant and badger him.
CG is adding to the CP experience and he is doing it the right way. Other posters have provided helpful critical opinions whereas you took advantage of CGs offer for thoughts and acted like a _________. (a wealth of descriptive words are appropriate here and none are positive)
