The most important thing to remember about the Comment rules is this: The determination of whether any comment is in compliance is at the sole discretion of this blog’s owner. Fair people are getting fair reply. Spam and useless crap and shitty comments / scrapers / observations goes all directly to My Private HELL without even appearing in public !!!
Requiring blog comments to obey well-defined rules does not infringe on the free speech of commenters.
Resisting the tide of post-modernity may be difficult, but I will attempt it anyway.
Your choice.........Live or DIE.
That indeed is where your liberty lies.
