ReplyDeleteYour home (blog), your rules.
We'd been getting too much stale, "canned" rhetoric from belligerent leftists and too many insolent quips unrelated to the article of the day -- sometimes even from regulars.
ReplyDeleteWhen you make an effort to stimulate thought and hope for intelligent discussion on a given topic, it seems very rude to me to post remarks that make no attempt -- even obliquely or humorously -- to address the featured subject.
If this causes others to think me petulant, so be it.
I'm very friendly to all who seem reasonable and the least bit sincere. Just sick of playing stupid mind games.
Aren't we all?

ReplyDeleteThank you both for your understanding and support.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving.
