We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.

ReplyDelete@Chaz: Try as I might, I couldn't see the word "define" anywhere near that sentence of simple commentary. But perhaps your eyes are better than mine.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't notice the word 'is' Peter?

Life is a bowl of cherries.
ReplyDeletePeter is a big boo-boo brain.
Chaz is a useless troll.
These are all definitions?
Ben is deluded.
Well the bit about you being a big boo-boo brain is definitional. The rest are false, so no.
