Faustine's right that there is far too much effort wasted here on trying to control what gets posted, or should or shouldn't be, rather than improve the quality of the discourse and encourage new voices, in particular those different from one's own, and most especially different from one's pack-howling.
You mean like your foaming-at-the-mouth denunciations of Declan and others? Odd, this, considering how much material you volunteered at Bell 2. You mean like your Toto-emulating incomprehensible ramblings? By the way, calling CJ Parker a "genius" is the strangest thing I've read in a long while. He fits the pattern we're now seeing with mattd, and that we saw in the past with Detweiler and Vulis. And that we often see with your own posts, John. Namely, a mix of schizophrenia, dyslexia, paranoia, and Tourette's Syndrome. Some are more dyslexic than others, and it's likely that with some the word juxtapositions and malapropisms are completely intentional. I used to thing folks were trying to emulate Detweiler, then Toto. Now I'm thinking there's some common miswiring in the brains of these folks. --Tim May "That government is best which governs not at all." --Henry David Thoreau
