OVERDUE WELCOME TO QCEXAMINER AND "FREEDOM OF SPEECH"
QCExaminer is a valued colleague in the blogosphere. Her allergy to Phil Hare is carried out in an amusing and clever fashion. For some reason I always have trouble linking "wordpress" bloggers. It's nothing the Googs do to make it harder. I guess I just choke on new words.
Any, welcome QCE and keep 'em coming. Sorry it took so long. I also owe you some emails. Will try to do better.
There have been some loose comments on other blogs about "Freedom of Speech" and moderation of comments on this blog and others. For you non-scholars, "Freedom of Speech" is a concept that limits what the Government can do to you for expressing your thoughts. UMRBlog is not the government. Still, I've never whacked a post simply because it disagreed with my personally-held views. The usual whacks are personal attacks or anon's self-sourcing breaking news. I've been averaging about one a month but I've hit four so far this Month.
If you come to my house and wipe your ass on the curtains, you're going to be excused and not welcome back, even if it was an act of expression. In here we just excuse you before fabric actually makes contact with anus.
Take a look at The Inside Dope Blog. I can't express a comment moderation any better than TID or more clearly than he does. I just don't want to take up the space in the template.
Anyhow, welcome QCE and you, over there, step away from that curtain.

i like your blog......
Hahaha at your curtains . Not sure who your having at the homestead , but I would edit the invite list some .
QCE is pretty darn funny .
The Inside Dope makes me vomit in my mouth .
0928,
I didn't whack you because you're a commercial for a poker site. Leaving you up as a public service
Took,
You gotta admit TID's policy statement on moderation couldn't be much clearer
TYFCB
Yes , but I read it so long ago I semi forget it and I haven't been there since I called him an @sshat .
Dope & I are fire and gas . I do my civic duty by just staying away .
UMR, thanks for the welcome and kind words.
When I first considered starting a blog, the locals told me no one would be interested in my intemperate rants about Phil Hare.
They must have figured the entire 17th CD was as enthralled by Hare as the ruling Democrat political class in the QCs---evidently, they didn't know about Quincy!
Took,
He always speaks well of you!
TYFCB
Most of the blogosphere here in the Basin can handle contrary views, especially if they have some entertainment value.
Besides, some of us feel John Sullivan's pain.
Anyway, welcome aboard. Sorry so slow.
Also Dope is boring I just looked .
Sullivan has less pain with King Emil leaving .
The 17th CD doesn't know where Quincy is , they used to call Ray's staff for directions .
Tookie,
How about I leave your books in the JimBob Nerve Center and you can pick them up when you're there to tune up the SuperCray and Dust the Furniture?
Read each of about ten times. Thanks.
Playing Utah is like treating jock itch. The best you get out of it is nothing.
I haven't been back the TID since that turkey dared moderate THE ORACLE.
You stand Corrected. You're an actor of the government.

If you think this blog is a governmental function, you really need to cut down your toluene exposure.
TYF Wandering B
What makes you think that she's being exposed to toluene UMR?
0313,
Doubt if the commenter was QCE. One of the first signs of toluene brain damage is the failure to grasp objective reality. The uncontrollable rage follows later.

Maybe I can help here. If you don't agree with Umr, you have dain bramage.
1216 Supreme Referee of all Disputes,
Not at all. Have a basis and we can have a discussion. Make something up out of wholecloth and encounter my snide evil twin.
BTW, anybody who uses the term "Stand Corrected" about somebody else has some language issues anyhow. That's either for the person acknowledging a righteous correction or a parliamentarian to say.
But I certainly wouldn't want to interfere with your fixed view of who I am, so, have it your way.
TYFCB

See what I mean?
And who is the one with the fixed inflexible view here?
TYFCB
UMR,
You are who you are on or off the clock. That's the point. You love power and influence.
Jumping off point by entering into a debate about language skills. Well, that apparently supports their claim.
"But I certainly wouldn't want to interfere with your fixed view of who I am, so, have it your way."
I will...
"TYFCB"
Anytime...
0732,
Whoever you are, you are clearly not one of the five or fewer people on this planet who really know me. Moreover, the argument that I am somehow power-hungry still doesn't render my site a government activity. You have just signed on with that first squirrel just for a cheap opportunity to insult me.
I guess we found out what "your way " is.
We're done here.
TYFCB
They're just messin' with your head UMR. Shrug it off. It's just a blog. It's not like they're trying to get in your head in cyberspace so that when they see you in the office they're on to the fact that you really know them.
