The monthly Proscription List is out, containing, as it always does, the nine things Martin Cothran hateth this month--nay, there are ten:
Diet drinks
Psychological excuses for immoral acts (even my own (acts))
Any movie with Ben Stiller in it
Diet advice (particularly when it is uninvited)
Sincerity (when voiced by politicians)
Scientific explanations for moral acts (or any other voluntary acts for that matter)
The View
Dancing (when done without rules and an equally strict dress code)
"Whole grain" anything
Pretentious coffee drinks (the exception being Starbuck's flat white which, although extremely pretentious, I also happen to find very tasty and is therefore exempt from this list)
Stay tuned for next month's exciting list of things which you too should avoid.

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.
