weird... I get: "No articles found for this Technical Blog. Try clearing the tags in the tag filter to expand the search". Anyways...

Those are blogs, where it is supposed to be allowed.
The one I reported was an article.
I know... damned grey zones...
I don't really like it, and have spoken with Sean a couple of times, but... that's what it is.

bit.ly links?

Richard Deeming18-Jan-19 8:48

@Sean-Ewington - What's the consensus on using URL shorteners to obfuscate links in articles? One pending[^] and at least one existing[^] article from an established member, with bit.ly links that claim to link to his blog and his Pluralsight course.

I can't see any reason for using bit.ly for links in an article, unless it's to disguise spam. Unsure | :~

I know this guy. He writes blog entries. That's likely what this is. In these cases I would say no, bit.ly links are not allowed, but they will simply be removed. No need to report the user.

Thanks,

... check these two comments and maybe read some others and decide:

Precise and safe calculation method for the average of large integer arrays [^]
By: Yoldas Askan - Professional Profile[^]

Comments are old but also very offensive from my point of view.

[Edit]
Why I reported this now: Recently Stefan Lang answered a question which triggered me to look at Stefan's profile/article. This because I experienced Stefan as a very competent member for math questions (one example of a lot: Simplex Downhill... - Algorithms Discussion Boards[^] and there are lot others for question not asked by me).

This lead me to the comments which I think Stefan has not deserved.

It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question
