DISCLAIMER: in my experience, the following doesn't apply to 99% of my readership. Unfortunately, experience also shows it has to be written down for the remaining 1%.
The short version, when it comes to my comments policy, goes down to a line taken from the (mediocre) second opus of the Matrix:
"I built this place. Down here, I make the rules."
Let's elaborate a bit:
AVERTISSEMENT : selon mon expérience, ce qui suit ne s'applique pas à 99% de mes lecteurs. Malheureusement, l'expérience prouve aussi qu'il faut que cela soit écrit pour le pourcentage restant.
La version courte, concernant ma politique pour les commentaires, se résume à une ligne tirée du second (médiocre) volet de Matrix:
"J'ai construit cet endroit. Ici, je fais les lois."

If you need further help with the site, you may want to check the Field Manual. Ultimately, you can also drop me a line. I usually don't answer jellyfish and buttermonkey(1) hybrids however.
Si vous avez besoin de plus d'aide avec le site, jetez un œil au manuel d'instruction. Au pire, vous pouvez également m'envoyer un mot. J'ai cependant tendance à ne pas répondre aux fruits de l'union d'une méduse et d'un cul de singe.

Great Dissident! Congratulations for the 5th anniversary of one of the greatest blogs on Earth! I hope you’ll carry on the good work - at least for the next 23 or 34 or 45 or 54 years (only Gore knows it). Your biggest fan in Brazil, Nemerson (blog Resistência) |

It’s too early for "happy hour" here in the US, but nevertheless, I propose a toast to DF on his 5th blogiversary - cheers! Here’s to many more blogiversaries :) |

DF: We are not alone in our skepticism. I sent you an email with links to other like minded critics of the warmies. The BBC, CBC and the President of the Czech Republic are with us. My favorite is Joe LaGuardi, the guy from Boston. (When you watch his video, avoid drinking liquids or risk their projectile nasal ejection.) UK Ch4 Program About Global Warming British SkepticsThe Guy from Boston- Global Warming ("Mature" Language but hilarious)Economist Bjorn Lomborg: Global warming is not a priority Nice to do, but at what cost? My problem with the whole idea is that they refuse to engage in serious technical debate ignoring the following: 1. For the last 1,600,000,000 years, ice ages (glacials) have occerred about every 100,000 years. Acentury ago, a Serbian civil engineer theorized that glacials are astrophysical - caused by changes in the Earth’s orbit. See "Milankovich Cycles." 2. The preeminent climatologist in the United States is Dr. Reid Bryson of the U of Wisconcin. He says that water vapor is the most important green house gas. When asked to assess the impact of CO2, he says that H2O causes 80% of greenhouse effect takes place in the first 30 feet above the surface. CO2 causes about 0.08%, so water vapor is 1000 times as important. "If you go out and spit in your front yard, you have had more effect than doubling CO2. See the "Faithful Heretic." 3. According to NASA, 168 Billion metric tons of CO2 is added to the world’s atmosphere annually. 100 B come from the oceans, releasing CO2 as they warm. (A result of warming, not a cause.) 30 B come from animal respiration - breathing. 30 B come from decaying plant and animal matter. Man only adds 8 B including 6 B from burning fossil fuels. So, if we were to cease all use of use of petroleum, natural gas and coal, push the world’s standard of living back to the 8th Century, the total CO2 would decrease from 168 B to 162 B metric tons. 4. Great experiment melting ice. Archimedes would be proud of you. If the ice caps and ice bergs melt, what would happen to sea level? Nothing.

Having only been a partaker of your blog for a relatively short time - I forget, 2 or 3 or 6 or 4 months - I want to wish you a very Merry Blogaversary, DF. I notice, whenever I force my eyes to focus on the Algore, that his suit looks tighter each time I see him. If he does survive to meet and surpass any of his deadlines for doom, I’m certain he will accept credit for having steered the earth away from disaster. Maybe the polar caps are melting because his bulk is upsetting the earths rotation as he travels around in his JET! Thanks DF! It’s fun. |

Ha ha! Excellent video, D-Frog! Only a moron could possibly believe that weather is supposed to be static and unchanging (kinda like believing that regressives like the Gorickle is a progressive. Just plain nuts). Congrats on your blogiversary! I’ll celibrate with you by raising (and drinking) an ice cold grog (not limited to one, of course)! |

Bonne blog anniversaire, Froggy! I am SO using "global warming is normal warming." Love the video, but that water needs a celebratory shot of scotch in it. ;-)

Something else to warm our hearts regarding The Goracle will be the upcoming Nobel Peace prize concert, which will be held in honor of the the windbag next month on the 11th, the day after the prize is "officially" awarded. He’s also being considered as a possibility for Time’s "Person of the Year" cover. While this year has indeed been one "win" after another for Gore, I take heart in the fact that he still doesn’t have the one thing he’s craved ever since he began his political career: the presidency.

Hmmm. Have you tried an ionic hair dryer? It works wonders on drying hair quickly, so maybe it’ll work just as well on ice cubes, too ;) To DF: Please check your PM’s when you get a second, will ya busy guy? :) |

Bonne Blogiversaire!! I dedicate General John Starks 1809 toast to our beloved Frogman, "Live free or die. Death is not the worst of all evils." This should be toasted with a good Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey such as 1792 Ridgemont Reserve. |

Here’s something folk here might appreciate:
Honor, loyalty, toughness, persistence. All the traditional good things.
