Comment Rules

Instinct — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:26:02 +0000

I got sidetracked over to Joan Peterson’s blog because of Weerd’s recent post and while I was there asking “Baldr Odinson” if he was going to come back under his real name and like his own comment I noticed Joan’s rules for publishing comments.

1. Comments asking for clarification will usually be published if they are about something I omitted or was unclear about.

2. Keep comments on topic and polite.

3. Comments on this blog will not be published if they are rude, offensive in any way, sexist, racist, sexually explicit, misogynistic, using of aggressive, vulgar or threatening language, harassment or generally distasteful.

4. Personal attacks will not be published.

5. Comments attacking organizations with which I am affiliated, other commenters or bloggers or groups of people will not be published or tolerated.

6. Comments that are misleading or not factual may be published but only to correct the facts.

7. Comments intended to harass or ask leading and repeated questions to get a reaction but not to further the discussion will not be published.

8. Opinions are not facts. When I write about facts, I use links to sources to back them up. When I express my opinion, that is what it is. Readers may not agree with my opinions but comments challenging my opinion are not constructive and don’t lead to furthering the discussion. We will not always agree here.

9. No comments under the name of “Anonymous” or “Unknown” will be published.

10. Don’t be a “jerk”. Comments from that perspective won’t be published here.

I love number 8. She says that you may not agree with her and if you challenge her she won’t publish it.

Also, if she thinks it’s offensive, it won’t be published. If she thinks it is attacking her group (such as challenging her facts) it won’t be published.

Joan, I have a suggestion for you. You can shorten the whole list down to one rule and it would be this:

1. Don’t confuse me with the facts, my mind is made up.

Oh, and I’m sure my comment won’t be published either.

Comment of the week

Best comment EVER so far here from Kurt P

Even driving back and forth from home to work takes on a new relevance. I have to make it a point to be more courteous to fellow motorists and exhibit extreme road courtesy in all situations.

You can’t be flipping anybody off in the age of concealed carry, that’s for sure.

So, all it took was words on a piece of paper to make you stop driving like a d1ck? Cool.

Remember that Texas has concealed (and lawful vehicle carry)laws, too!

Rest in peace, William the Coroner

The world is a sadder place with your passing.

Goodnight Mr. Jobs

Say what you want about the man, he shook the pillars of heaven a few times in his life and in many ways the world is a better place because of the things he did.

Patrick Leahy Is Eric Holder’s Punkass Flunky Boy

I say that only because we all know it to be true, and apparently it upsets him

I wonder if Holder lets him use kneepads? Probably not.

Greybeard says he’s also a pegboy. Had to look that one up, not glad I did

H/T to Bob from The Drawn Cutlass for the meme

Missed it by THAT much!

Instinct — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 05:50:14 +0000

Just realized that I missed my own blogiversary. It was way back on August 17th.

Ah well, half the time I don’t remember my own birthday either. No, seriously, I don’t.

5%

I was told a long time ago that 5% of any profession has people in it that cause 95% of the problems.

Here’s one of those Five Percenters in action and giving the rest of the honest, decent officers that risk their lives every day a bad name.

From Hotair we know that the officer has been relived of duty and is under investigation but this should never have happened in the first place.

This is the kind of thing that make the public not trust or cooperate with the police, when one badge happy jackass thinks that he is Judge Dredd and is somehow ‘king of the streets’.

With any luck, this individual will be looking for new employment soon.
