1. The Mahablog is not a public utility. It is my property. I created it and pay for the bandwidth. I maintain it for my own purposes. Although I prefer not to hold comments in a moderation queue for approval, any comments posted here remain posted at my discretion.
2. I respect and encourage substantive commentary, but comments that are nothing but insults of me or other commenters will be deleted. Repeated attempts to post such comments will get the commenter banned.
2a. I might delete an insult of a public official if I judge it to be slanderous.
2b. I also don’t care much for sexually explicit or crude humor, at anyone’s expense. I might put up with it up to a point, but I will more likely delete it.
3. Comments that I judge to be racist (this includes antisemitism), sexist, or homophobic will be deleted. Repeated attempts to post such comments will get the commenter banned.
3a. However, reasonable and factually supported criticism of actions and policies of the government of Israel would not usually qualify as antisemitic.
5. All religions will be treated with respect here. Comments that insult religion(s) per se or people for being religious will be deleted. However, stupid things specific people or groups do or say in the name of religion are fair game.
6. Atheism will be treated with respect here. However, atheists with a vendetta against religion per se (and not specific religious people or groups doing something stupid) are subject to slamming.
7. Contrary to rumor I do not automatically delete all comments that criticize my posts. However, if you are going to rebut something I’ve written, be prepared to offer facts (with links to documentation of the facts) in support of your position.
7a. Any claims that are unsupported by fact (or “facts” that are not, in fact, factual) may be deleted if I don’t have the time and energy to write a rebuttal. I don’t allow The Mahablog to be a conduit of unchallenged misinformation.
7b. Note in particular that comments claiming that the World Trade Center towers (including Building 7) were destroyed by controlled detonation will be deleted. Repeated attempts to post such comments will get the commenter banned.
7c. Also, if you address me or other commenters in a derisive manner I will delete your comment without reading it.
7d. Arguments are over when I say they are over. Commenters who continue to post arguments that I or someone else already have thoroughly demolished will be banned for being tiresome.
7e. I dislike commenters who expect me to write long defenses and explanations of something I’ve already written. I’m not your monkey. If you really care what I think about any particular topic, you can search the entire Mahablog archives by googling
site:www.mahablog.com KEYWORD
8. Nothing, and I repeat nothing, pisses me off more than commenters who obviously haven’t read the post they are commenting on and have no idea what the post actually says or what my opinion actually is.
9. Comments may be deleted for being off topic, but not necessarily. I normally don’t care about off topic comments unless the comment threatens to pull the entire comment thread into uncharted territory.
10. Nobody badmouths Ulysses S. Grant on The Mahablog.
11. Anyone who calls anyone else “Obamabot” automatically forfeits commenting privileges.
remember the white house travel staff in the early days of the clintons. wiped out. presidential discretion. the lawyers serve at the pleasure of the president. Tell Hillary if she will produce rose lawfirm lost files and documents from office of the person who killed himself I’ll sign her petition. Republican discretion aren’t you used to it yet?
You’re so far up the ass of the Liberal/Socialist/Democratic mindset that it makes you absolutely blind to what is actually at play in current events. You’ve marginalized yourself and become ever distant from rational, logically formulated viewpoints even within the sphere of the Left.
Myopic views from small-minded people eventually suffer this fate — good luck with that.

I think some people are pissed because I deleted their stupid comments.

Who is David Broder? I do seem to recall a tall thin-faced distinguished-looking man wearing 10,000 dollar suits who wrote sentences that seemed always to just about to signify something but that then petered out into a meaningless goo of Washingtonian Spin. I kind of recall I occasionally read his nothings but now I don’t. I still wonder about those 10,000 dollar suits, however. Who would pay a man who writes like that …? Lefty blogs are the best thing that’s happened to us since the institution of Social Security…

How is it there isn’t a DNC rule that superdelegates can’t pledge their allegiance to a candidate before the primary? There oughtta be a law! And how is it, after umpty-ump years I’ve just found out about California’s pre-primary caucus, where (committed) delegates are chosen at the district level? It’s hard to find out anything about this process, other than how to sign up to be a delegate; beyond that, you can’t even find out where these caucuses are taking place, and good luck finding much out about the potential delegates who have applied. I learned about it from Sanders’ campaign, just as I read that the California primary vote is an opinion vote, only. What that hell does that mean? What ever happened to one person one vote? I say no delegates, no super delegates, no electoral college, no paying for votes. If these elections were a pinball game, the sign would be screaming “TILT!”

Hi Mrs Barbara O'Brien,
I am French and making a spiritualist blog. I chose a number of chapters which I illustrate with nice articles. I found your good article on Impermanence and I would like to translate it to help the French speaking people. My blog is called "The wonderful law" (not yet on the web) and I am interested in the Forest tradition, Matriarchy and spirituality, Nichiren, Pudgalavadins, and so on. Here is the address where I got your article :

I hope I'll get a reply as soon as you find time. Thanks.

My Name on post was "anynameleft"

How do I ask a question of you?

Why people still use to read news papers when in this technological globe everything is presented on net?

Love the group therapy slogan. I do believe that most of the deep rooted nexus pain comes from a systemic issue of people in politics that are out of touch with how much hurt and pain they are inflicting on their constituents. While most people are stuck in the rat race and don't have time or energy to focus on these issues, you have well funded candidates that are working not for the people, but for their pockets.
