I'm thinking, very seriously, about changing my voter registration from an "I" to N "R".<BR/><BR/>democommieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984952856191232846.post-1314875474883157002007-12-13T09:05:00.000-08:002007-12-13T09:05:00.000-08:00When I comment on a blog, I almost never state opi...When I comment on a blog, I almost never state opinions that are unsupported. I usually include links to factual sources, sometimes not as many as I'd like due to spam filters. Thanks for your observations, Joe. <BR/><BR/>While it is well within their right, it speaks volumes of their tactics, openness and capacity for learning.Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05861596158055480390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984952856191232846.post-33284954483070717252007-12-13T08:47:00.000-08:002007-12-13T08:47:00.000-08:00I'm not a conservative, but I've got to agree with...I'm not a conservative, but I've got to agree with Webutante about her right to delete or not publish comments from folks on her blog. It's censorship when government does it, not an individual.<BR/><BR/>I'm not aware of the nature of the comments she deleted or refused to publish. If they were logical opinions in opposition to hers, then, yes, she would probably be insecure in her conservative beliefs. (From what I've seen, that is indeed more common on conservative blogs than on liberal ones.) <BR/><BR/>If, however, the remarks were nothing but trolling or otherwise wacky remarks, then she was probably trying to keep the conversation on her blog at a certain level, and I couldn't fault her for deleting or refusing to publish them.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18276185394955023536noreply@blogger.com
