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.
I bet he never spent a day in the shed or on the farm in his life.
ReplyDeleteWe the criminals will be the most enthusiatic jail inhabitants of all time. We will soon break out of course. Our borders will be unassailable and guarantee freedom from undesireables everywhere else. Entry by qualification only. The liberals can take them, and soon enough they will have beige soup brained families, despised by the diverse peoples, and struggling to get out of the mess their manifesto brought to them.
