I've rather enjoyed reading him so far, and nobody's been called a fascist or a socialist. We've avoided the real brutality. Plus he hasn't really impeded any conversations by other guests (which would be bothersome).<br /><br />On the other hand, whenever he gets kicked out of a blog, he goes out of his way to let other people on other blogs know about it. That sounds like free advertising for us to me. Perhaps a reason to consider it.<br /><br />DG - we'll powow and get back to you about your fate.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192667997950934790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740670447258719504.post-15972243043929877322010-04-11T19:43:10.402-04:002010-04-11T19:43:10.402-04:00...as if the two are mutually exclusive? ;)...as if the two are mutually exclusive? ;)Evanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12259004160963531720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740670447258719504.post-27476074470977415562010-04-11T17:12:16.332-04:002010-04-11T17:12:16.332-04:00Daniel and I aren't really big on banning, or ...Daniel and I aren't really big on banning, or imposing much of any posting rules.
