This is my blog running on a server I have purchased. Like a guest in my home, I expect you to behave with decorum towards your fellow guests and towards myself. You are free to disagree and to debate if you do so in good faith. However, if you cannot keep a level head and a measure of self control, your comment will be deleted and you may be banned.

Regarding freedom of speech: The first amendment doesn’t force me to reprint your thoughts. When you comment here, you are using a small measure of my resources in order to share your thoughts. I can choose to give you that small bit of storage, processing, and bandwidth, or I can choose to withhold it. If I’ve cruelly encroached on your rights, I cordially invite you to start your own blog where you’ll be free to say whatever you like.
