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.
"Promoting capitalist acts between consenting adults" ... "Exploit the Earth or Die"

Great words of advise by that Judge indeed. Lay off the psychoactives and get in touch with reality instead. Go even further and make a positive contribution to reality!
