You are welcome to post at this blog. You are asked, however, to refrain from the following:
1. Name-calling;
2. Questioning the motives or integrity of people you have never met just because you disagree with them;
3. Using obscenities or other expressions not appropriate or necessary to civilized discussion;
4. Taking disagreement personally;
5. Demeaning or insulting remarks.
The host will attempt to abide by the same rules and only asks that you not provide him with the temptation to do so in return by violating them.
Failure to comply with these rules can result (depending solely on the arbitrary and inscrutable will of the host) in the deletion of offending posts and suspension of posting privileges. Such measures are more likely if you post anonymously.
Let's have a show of hands...
ReplyDeleteBesides me, who is old enough to remember when liberals used to say, "You may disagree with us, but we will fight for your right to disagree with us?"
Today, it's more like: "Shut up."
For most folks on the far left it's more like STFU (Shut the f*** up).
ReplyDeleteIt's funny and sad. When I was a youth, anyone who was described as a professor automatically got a huge status boost in my young mind. Now, it simply serves to establish a rebuttable presumption that the holder of said title is probably a lefty whacko. Hard sciences excluded of course.
