The BBC World Service has a programme called World Have your Say, those who know me know that I would prefer it this way: Of course, really good, useful comments are always welcome. Anyone who lives near Avebury and is “a fierce critic of contemporary Western society (with a noted and public interest in occultism, [...]

It’s a bit unusual that someone whose opinion of blog comments is that they remind him of walking his dog.  The dog checks out a “post” on the street and makes her contribution on the “post” (figure it out). I write when I want to.  And hardly consider myself a serious blogger. What the hell [...]

From Porcelain Theology This blog is the digital equivalent to the scribble you might find on the stall wall at a filthy highway rest stop. For some, it may be a memorable, thought-provoking, humorous or just plain off-putting experience. To others, a simple waste of a click. Personally, I don’t care how you feel about [...]

I was at a family do this past weekend when the topic of climate change deniers came up with a relative who works in the field of climate change and food security. My question was “so, are you going to beat up on the likes of “Lord” Monckton and Sammy Wilson?” Her response surprised me, [...]

{ed. This was cross posted at the Man with the Muckrake blog as Sepp, through his ignorance, refers to Obama as a man of principle, envied by rivals} I was invited to be a guest author on the Man with the Muckrake’s Blog haven’t figured out how to post as a guest author  or I [...]

Or even JadeGold. Quite frankly, I am not interested in hearing from you if you can’t say something intelligent. What you say is not well thought out or even accurate (I do cite check you). In other words, I find most of you very tedious and annoying. One of the reasons that I made the [...]

I wish I could REALLY get him to do this, but this will have to do… “When you’re stupid, there’s nothing that can be done…” “…Cleese is using a silly walker…” (OK, no one has said anything about Cleese in a comment here, but that I pretty good). “You should never believe anything you read [...]

For a super comment from VanDyke about this post: This post fits the criteria of intelligent and constructive comment. It also adds in another aspect that I didn’t consider: informative. It may not have been as useful as the comment from FAN, but it did have some very super and informative links (remember my big [...]

Yep, she didn’t post the entire version of this: although I have edited this: I have read the entire Miller decision. First off, the quotes are not mine, but Supreme Court Justices, which Anon keeps neglecting to mention. Perhaps, this is due to the fact that he knows the law better than two of the [...]

I guess it shouldn’t surprise me that my strange cult BBC posts get loads of attention. My post on the mystery Postcode TL3 8RZ gave me the most views in a day! This was due to people trying to figure out where TL3 8RZ would be located. Even though its fellow post where I mentioned [...]

I know Daisy and White Rabbit will like it, but it’s not intended for them. And it’s not my fav dead song (those are Uncle John’s Band, unbroken chain, Touch of Grey, and Box of Rain, which reminds me of my time in Brussels) “New Speedway Boogie” Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia [...]

A friend has whipped up a neat wordpress app that I am trying out. It takes any comment which was made by someone on my block list and “translates” it without me having to actually READ the comment in question. It takes the comment and replaces it with one of about 175 some phrases. It [...]

Among other things, this post was inspired by Michael LaBossiere’s post Deleting Principles where he goes through a rather long winded discussion of why he deletes comments. Well, he is a philosopher. LaBossiere is a bit more open to accepting comments provided they are civil than I am. In some ways I agree with him, [...]

I’m not sure why I am bothering with writing this since whoever made the comment: their comment ended up in the Spam filter without my prompting, But anyway,.. I accept comments from people with opposite viewpoints provided they “can offer intelligent and constructive comments.” Calling something a “fairy tale” without proper supporting evidence merits your [...]

Well, my main goal of getting rid of the unwanted comments has been achieved by this move. That and the publication of the ISP info of a couple of the people who didn’t get the message that I didn’t want to hear from them helped in achieving that goal. This has meant that the comments [...]
