Some Slack for a change
Well, it appears we're all off the hook. The Ur-bloggers have come up with a pretty decent handfull of guidelines.
So, like Kevin, I must confess that I have an embarassingly small comments policy. You're certainly free to say whatever wacky thing you want, or call me on whatever disagreement that you have with what I'm saying.
So here's the three rules for comments:
1) Everyone is an idiot.
2) You are one, too.
3) If in doubt about rule #2, see rule #1
Note that I am also included in rule #1, by definition. My conspiracy theories are far more wacky and scary than yours, I can assure you.
In the highly unlikely event I see anything like a Moxie event using my comments for propagation, I will be slamming it down faster than an Enron gamed energy market.
I'm a pretty vitriolic blogger, so I'm willing to put up with a lot of agression. It's the hatred part that pisses me off something fierce.
Slug away at me or anyone else, but don't do it out of hate.

Comments
I think anyone who would comment on someone else's blog instead of starting their own is a cheap hack and a wimp.

I always thought the bloggers were like the two old guys up in the balcony in the "Muppet Show".

Should have used an irony emoticon I guess (i.e. I don't have a blog and have no right to bitch). Blogfights seem odd to me, especially ones between authors whose views are only slightly divergent. I miss Atrios Jr. though.

What is the irony emoticon? I think the closer the viewpoint, the more heat. We all miss "He who shall not be named". But I have a feeling he's still around and very close. He's like a Japanese diety. He has several different modes of invocation. Choose the wrong one and you find yourself with scortched skin and hair and maybe a missing leg. The right one, and you have a great drinking buddy.

Good policy.

Thanks. Now if I can just get off my keester and get the MT template upgrade complete so I don't have to approve every comment, I'll be set. Having to approve every comment is a royal pain in the butt.

Gee, and I thought I'd been banned for the first time. That does sound like a royal pain.
Yours,

Tonight I must do this or I will simply go insane. . .
