House rules - again

Friday, 27th June 2008

So there's software out there which can filter out comments from unwelcome visitors? I like the sound of that.

Just to reiterate: I'm not going to print comments which are discourteous or exhibit an unhealthy obsession with immigration and/or Muslims. As I've said before, there are plenty of political sites where cranks can talk to themselves for as long as they wish. Some people also don't seem to understand that I like to run items which might contradict something that's appeared earlier. That's part of the pleasure of blogging, as far as I'm concerned. My truism of the week comes from David Brooks's column on the Baghdad surge:

Life is complicated. The reason we have democracy is that no one side is right all the time. The only people who are dangerous are those who can’t admit, even to themselves, that obvious fact.
