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."
Élaborons un brin :
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.

You wan to tell us how to defend our country, Chirac? We’ll tell you how to build a union of states. Touché! |

DF, good to see you back. I hope it was fun. Any new tattoos? Turkey has to be either a European country or a Middle East country. They seem to have decided to be part of Europe. I think it would be better to bring them in, but it’s your choice. And you can tell Chirac that the last time France decided to get involved with Mexico, they put that pantomime emperor Maximilian against the wall and shot him. (Mexico won’t admit it, but we had something to do with that. Your Napoleon III took over Mexico because of some bad debts. We were heavily engaged in killing each other—nobody does it better—so we couldn’t prevent it. When our Civil War ended, we had a million men under arms, the first iron-clad navy in the world, and a bad attitude. Reinforcing poor Max came to be seen as a bad idea.) Anyway, the Turks are at least as European as the Greeks, give or take a moustache. |

Hello..nice to see you back. I love your commentary. Read the article from the Quadrant. There have been several in the US that point out the same: bloggers catching the media at their worst. Over at iraqthemodel.com, we mounted the demand for the LA times and NY Times to retract their erroneous statements about Paul Bremmers lack of departure statement as well. It was so obvious these people were regurgitating some tripe without checking the facts. Your critical view of the EU and France have been very enlightening. I had no idea how bad the socialist fungi had become entrenched in the EU parliament not to mention the outright support of an ME with nukes just to “off set” US power. How ridiculous is that? As if the US would use it’s nuke power to hold the world hostage like N. Korea or Iran. Idiots! But, you say it better… |

DF, Can you make an argument that isn’t based on insults? Doesn’t Chirac support the membership of Turkey in the EU? “Just like any other narrow minded bloke who principally defines himself by his party card, religious belief, football club membership, skin color, social class or sexual orientation.” As opposed to what you principally define yourself as? People who bitch about these things always turn out to be hypocrites. |

Mes felicitations, monsieur. J’ai trouve votre blog par un lien chez les Anti-Idiotariens. J’espere que les autres gens qui encore pensent que les francais sont des putes de laches trouvent ce site et changent leur avis. Excuse my French - it’s a bit rusty. But you make a lot of sense. I’m a Canadian who had spent 2 years in France going to CES a long time ago. Beautiful country, lots of goods, too damn expensive, but the cookie-cutter beuarocracy sucked big’time. Keep up the fight - hopefully more people “dans la patrie” will take notice and realise what kind of treadmill they got stuck on for over 200 years. Take care. Veuillez accepter mes salutations distingues. |
