A Forum for Vigorous Debate, Cornerstone of Democracy
A FORUM FOR VIGOROUS DEBATE, CORNERSTONE OF DEMOCRACY. Encouraged censorship and self-censorship seem to have become popular in America today. Those who censor others, not just self, prefer the term moderator to censor and moderation to censorship. But that doesn't change what they do. They still act as self-appointed Big Brother protectors of the thin-skinned. Democracy, however, demands a populace with spine. On this blog, and to buck the trend of censorship, comments will not be "moderated." Almost never do the targets of these blog entries dare respond to defend themselves with cogent counter-argumentation. They are too high and mighty or perhaps simply too damn inserted into the herd--academic, literary or whichever.

"you lack the rhetorical savvy we value"
An inadvertent complement!
This would be like a politician telling you that you wouldn't make a good demagogue.
That would certainly make me feel as though I was on the right track.
With enemies like these, who needs friends.
rhetorical savvy, ha! What a value to have! Jesus...keep the good toons coming, Slone!
Hey M,
Thanks for checking in! Yes, I seem to be quite lacking in rhetorical savvy.
