Guidelines | consignes

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:

  1. Try to stay on topic. If you have a beef against the cow-fart(1) induced climate change and this post is about monkey spanking(2), then it's not the place to draw your sword(3).
    I have nothing against a freewheeling conversation, but if it's off-topic AND stupid or offensive, then it will have a badly limited lifespan.
  2. Consider the two following statements…
    • I'm totally open-minded when it comes to rational ideas.
    • It is quite obvious that Anti-Americanism, anti-Semitism, Islamism, Nationalism, Racism, Collectivism(4) and Multiculturalism (non-exhaustive list) exist in complete contradiction with Reason.
    … And guess the total amount of tolerance you can expect from me if you indulge in any of these.
  3. If you shall persist in these ways nevertheless, understand that I'm not spending countless hours of work on this site to "reach out", "debate" with you, "understand" your "root causes" or "learn" about your religion. Unlike race, ideology is something we choose, and for which we must bear all responsibilities. I loathe your sick mindset and what you defend and promote. I've heard all your pitiful excuses for your despicable totalitarian psyche and your compulsion to coerce or enslave your fellow men and women in the name of some "greater good".
    So understand that this is not a public forum: it is my outpost in the culture war you wage against me, my kin, my rights and my freedom — thus, you will only be tolerated here, and only if I decide so. I call the shots and I owe you nothing. As a matter of fact, I don't like having you around, so the only argument you're truly entitled to hear from me would come, if you insist, amplified through the barrel of my Sig-Sauer high powered rifle(5) — because when it comes to intolerant scumbags, I'm an intolerant bastard.
    So keep your distances, and nobody gets hurt.
  4. I also have a very limited patience for social-democrats of all race and creed, center-of-center jellyfish and buttermonkey(6) hybrids, Blame-America-First (and always) Libertarians (usually of the Rothbardian school), Hollywood idiots & Festival-de-Cannes cretins and those Parisians who fancy themselves as an elite when they are nothing but the developed world's rednecks(7). However, I tend to ignore them, so they may consider themselves lucky if they manage to draw some sarcasm in colorful language from me.
  5. Yeah, and don't get me started on journalists and the Wonderful World of Mainstream Media...
  6. American and British soldiers (including the Commonwealth) stand on a special pedestal in my personal pantheon. Disrespect them here, and you'll quickly wish you'd rather stand naked in Mecca during Hajj, wearing only a sign that reads "Muhammad was a pedophile".
  7. I may moderate, remove or edit anything and give neither excuses nor explanations. It has nothing to do with "censorship": I am not a State, you are not a coerced citizen of said State and so you are always free to express yourself on your own facility and by your own means. Commenting is not a right, it is a privilege I grant or take away, according to my right as the owner of this place.
  8. My site is not awfully biased: it's shamelessly opinioned. If you're on my side, you get my vote and are free to rant 'n' roll. If not, live with it or go rot in the gutter.
  9. Oh and, if you're a vegan, be advised that I hunt, kill, cook(8) and eat all sorts of animals, and thoroughly enjoy the whole lot of it. Have fun with your carrots, Doc.
  1. Ha ha. Beef. Cow. Geddit?
  2. It's been known to happen.
  3. Neither is the guestbook by the way.
  4. That includes of course all its variations: Socialism, National-Socialist, Communism, Fascism, etc.
  5. With a loud 'Bang'
  6. Nope, don't know what species is that either, but it does sound like a particularly vile creature, doesn't it?
  7. Tell me London, New-York, Sydney or Tokyo, but Paris is a dump.
  8. Frequently in some sort of wine sauce or with loads of tears-pulling spices. Grapes and pepper count as veggie stuff right?

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 :

  1. Il existe une subtile différence entre "être familier" et "traiter familièrement". Cela signifie que les culs-sales qui s'imaginent débarquer ici et me tutoyer comme si nous avions gardé les piquets de grève ensemble verront leur contribution à la conversation éradiquée sans autre forme de procès. Quelle que soit la pertinence de ladite contribution. Même si vous n'êtes Vraiment Pas Content® avec ce que j'écris, cela ne vous dispense pas de surveiller vos manières : tant que je n'ai pas été présenté à votre chère Maman, nous nous vouvoierons. Vu ?
  2. Évitez le hors-sujet. Si vous avez une rancune à l'égard de l'impact des pets de vache sur le changement climatique et que cet article traite de la fessée de macaque(1), alors ce n'est pas l'endroit d'où lancer votre croisade (2).
    Je n'ai rien contre une conversation à bâtons rompus, mais si c'est hors-sujet ET stupide ou insultant, ça aura une durée de vie salement limitée.
  3. Considérez les deux affirmations suivantes...
    • J'ai une ouverture d'esprit totale en ce qui concerne toutes idées rationnelles.
    • Il est évident qu' Anti-américanisme, anti-Sémitisme, Islamisme, Nationalisme, Racisme, Collectivisme(3) et Multiculturalisme (liste non-exhaustive) existent en complète contradiction avec la Raison.
    ... Et tâchez de devinez la dose totale de tolérance que vous pouvez attendre de moi si vous cédez à l'une de ces sirènes.
  4. Si vous deviez cependant persister dans ces voies, comprenez que je ne dépense pas un nombre incalculable d'heures de travail sur ce site pour vous "tendre la main", "débattre" avec vous, "comprendre" vos "causes profondes" ou "apprendre à connaitre" votre religion. Contrairement à la race, l'idéologie est le résultat de nos choix, et nous devons en supporter l'entière responsabilité. J'abhorre votre mentalité tarée, et ce que vous défendez et promouvez. J'ai entendu toutes vos pitoyables excuses pour votre détestable psyché de totalitaire et votre compulsion à forcer et réduire vos semblables en esclavage au nom d'un quelconque "intérêt général".
    Comprenez donc que ceci n'est pas un forum publique : c'est mon avant-poste dans la guerre culturelle que vous lancez contre moi, mes semblables, mes droits et ma liberté — vous ne serez que toléré ici, et seulement si je le décide. Je tire les ficelles, et ne vous doit rien. En fait je n'aime pas vous voir dans le coin, et en conséquence les seuls arguments de ma part auxquels vous puissiez réellement prétendre, si vous insistez, se transmettent par le canon de ma carabine de fort calibre Sig-Sauer(4) — Parce dès qu'ils s'agit d'ordures intolérantes, je suis un salaud d'intolérant.
    Alors gardez vos distances, et personne ne sera blessé.
  5. J'ai aussi un patience très limitée pour les sociaux-démocrates de toute confession et couleur, les centristes-du-centre fruits de l'union d'une méduse et d'un cul de singe, les Libertarés de l'École Rothbard conditionnés au "C'est la faute à l'Amérique, toujours et partout", Les Idiots d'Hollywood et les Crétins-de-Cannes, de même que ces parisiens qui se prennent pour une élite alors qu'ils ne sont que les bouseux du monde développé (5). J'ai cependant tendance à les ignorer, et ils peuvent donc s'estimer chanceux s'ils arrivent à me soutirer ne serait-ce qu'un sarcasme en langage fleuri.
  6. Ouais, et ne me lancez pas sur les journalistes et le Monde Merveilleux des Medias...
  7. Les soldats Américains et Britanniques (parmi lesquels j'inclue le Commonwealth) prennent place sur un piédestal particulier dans mon panthéon personnel. Manquez leur de respect ici, et vous souhaiterez rapidement vous trouver plutôt à la Mecque en période Hajj, tout nu avec seulement une pancarte autour du coup sur laquelle on puisse lire "Mahomet était un pédophile".
  8. Je peux modérer, supprimer ou éditer quoi que ce soit, sans fournir d'excuses ni d'explications. Cela n'a rien à voir avec de la “censure”, pour une raison très simple : je ne suis pas un État, vous n'êtes pas un citoyen opprimé dudit État et demeurez donc libre de vous exprimer sur votre propre support et par vos propres moyens. Commenter n'est pas un droit, c'est un privilège que j'accorde ou refuse selon mon droit de propriétaire des lieux.
  9. Mon site n'est pas affreusement partial, il est impudemment orienté. Si vous êtes de mon côté, vous avez mon aval et êtes libre de disserter à l'envi. Sinon, faites avec ou allez crever dans le caniveau.
  10. Oh, et si vous êtes végétarien, sachez que je chasse, tue, cuisine(6) et bouffe toutes sortes d'animaux, et que j'apprécie le tout sans aucune retenue. Soyez heureux avec vos carottes Docteur.
  1. C'est déjà arrivé.
  2. C'est aussi valable pour le Livre d'Or.
  3. Ce qui inclue aussi ses variantes : Socialisme, National-Socialisme, Communisme, Fascisme, etc.
  4. Avec un gros 'Bang'
  5. Londres, New-York, Sydney ou Tokyo, d'accord. Mais Paris, c'est un bled de cul-terreux.
  6. Généralement avec une sauce au vin, ou alors des poignées d'épices à t'arracher la tripaille. Le raisin et les piments, ça compte comme trucs de végétarien, non ?

Help

  1. As an additional layer of defense against comment spamming and surf-by shooting, I enacted a set of restrictions on how you can post a comment as a simple guest on my site (i.e. either when you're not registered as a member, or registered but not logged in), starting with pre-publishing comment approval. As approving comments will take a certain — and variable — amount of time, I invite you to check-in if you're serious about joigning the conversation in real time.
  2. Non-authenticated users are also limited to the following HTML tags:
    • Bold (<strong></strong>)
    • Italic (<em></em>)
    • Underline (<u></u>)
    • Quote (<blockquote></blockquote>)
    Don't bother entering any other tags, as they will automagically get stripped on posting.
  3. Members have access to a greater range of tags and publishing tools, and they can also choose to be informed by email of follow-up comments, for any given thread.
  4. Members also have an easier and more straightforward posting process. Some of the system defenses are lowered for them, and the details fields (name, etc.) are pre-filled with the information they entered in their profile.
  5. Members have a greater chance to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, while it will be assumed that, in addition to an opinion, strangers have stinky feet and greasy fingers. They may therefore be regarded with great condescension by regular members and the dissident frogman alike, and derided accordingly. So wash your feet, your hands, and register.
  6. A reminder: you decide what you write, no matter how brilliant or stupid it might be, and the fact that I let it go published doesn't mean I condone, agree or disagree with it—no matter if I answer it or not. Hey, you're supposed to be a responsible adult, right?

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.

  1. Nope, don't know what species is that either, but it does sound like a particularly vile creature, doesn't it?
  1. En défense contre le spam et les tirs isolés, j'ai établi un ensemble de restrictions sur l'ajout de commentaires par les simples visiteurs sur le site (i.e. soit lorsque vous n'êtes pas enregistré comme membre, soit lorsque vous l'êtes, mais n'avez pas ouvert une session), dont notamment la modération avant publication. L’approbation des commentaires prenant un temps certain et variable, je vous invite donc à vous inscrire, si vous envisagez sérieusement de participer à la conversation en temps réel.
  2. Les utilisateurs non authentifiés sont également limités aux balises HTML suivantes :
    • Gras (<strong></strong>)
    • Italique (<em></em>)
    • Souligné (<u></u>)
    • Citation (<blockquote></blockquote>)
    Ne vous fatiguez pas à en utiliser d'autres, le texte passe par un filtre de suppression lors de la publication.
  3. Les membres ont accès à une plus large sélection d'outils et de balises, et ils peuvent choisir pour chaque 'conversation' à laquelle ils prennent part d'être informé par email des réponses.
  4. Les membres ont également un "processus de publication" plus simple et direct. Certaines défenses du système sont abaissées pour eux, et les champs des détails sont pré-remplis avec les informations qu'ils ont entré dans leur profil.
  5. Les membres ont une plus grande chance d'entrer au Royaume des Cieux, tandis que l'on considèrera que, en sus d'une opinion, les visiteurs venus d'ailleurs ont les doigts gras et les pieds sales. Ils pourront de ce fait être traité avec grande condescendance par les autres membres et le dissident frogman de même, et ridiculisés en conséquence. Alors lavez vos mains, vos pieds, et inscrivez-vous.
  6. Pour mémoire : vous décidez de ce que vous écrivez, aussi brillant ou stupide que cela soit, et le fait que j'en autorise la publication ne signifie pas que je l'approuve ou le désapprouve, et cela que j'y réponde ou non. Hé, vous êtes censé vous comporter en adulte responsable, s'pas ?

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 are quite correct, EU socialists are having orgasams over Barri. Wait for the wailing&gnashing of teeth from the left when he does not yank US forces out of the ME, or close Gitmo, or pay their mortgages and put gas in their cars. Today is the beginning of the Briefing Process, in which Barri will find out what the real world situation is. The media and his other sycophants are already scrambling to lower the expectations built so high during his campaign.

(I mean, picture yourself manning an isolated outpost deep inside enemy lines, and suddenly learning that Central Command has been overrun. See what I mean?)

I could not have said it better myself! Yesterday was a sad day for me and I felt as if my security was crumbling arounds me.

On a positive note! This will be the last time in history the Black minority can play the race card here in America. Hussian has officially captured one of the best jobs in the world so there are no excuses for anyone else.

Time to go enjoy the last few months of my second ammendment rights.

I believe that was the real reason that Jesse Jackson was crying over the news that Barack H. Obama was President Elect.

It looks like America is going to get what it asked for, and good and hard, too.  I’m frankly stunned that so many of my countrymen are gullible and foolish enough to elect a man who clearly despises his own nation.  I don’t know what the future holds for America, but I’m pretty sure it’s going to be ugly.  I dearly hope I will be proved wrong about that (he says wistfully).  In the meantime I purchased two new rifles as soon as the election results were final (an H&K USC and a Smith and Wesson M&P15T, both with an Aimpoint CompM4 mounted).  Better get them while we still can.

Good to hear from you Frogman - we were beginning to worry.

Nancy Pelosi(Senate majority leader, Pro-socialism spokesperson, anti first amendment activist) has been saying to the American people "hold us accountable" while she laughs up her sleeve at the idiots who voted in more democrats, after their miserable performance over the last 2 years. Give these people two years unfettered, and I suspect that people will be crying for "unchange".  And yes, Obie’s apologists in the press are already trying to dampen expectations. It will be interesting to see how things play out in the coming months, as the Obama-stream Media (OSM- MSM no longer) rushes around trying to excuse his every failure.

By the way,(and I wish I had taken note of who it was I was watching) I actually saw a news reporter saying rather nervously, that he hoped the White House would have a moderating effect on some of Obama’s liberal positions (I don’t get fox news channel, so it wasn’t them). I suspect that there is a lot of that buyer remorse floating around right now.

I also watched in horror as the Obamacrats took control, and the results so far have been promising (note the HEAVY sarcasm in there)...DOW down 400 points, most of the world "celebrating" in the Obama victory (that worries me greatly....never a good thing when your enemy’s wishes are granted by the American public), and Queen Pelosi and company already backpedaling on "expectations".  Here are my predictions for the near future:

1.  The Obama Tax Plan will be drastically changed from what was presented during the campaign to something much worse.  Income limits exposed to the higher tax brackets will be revised down (oops, we really didn’t mean $250K for families, we meant to say $100K...SORRY) to raise the required revenue.

2.  Business and capital spending will meteor into the ground as the corporate tax rates are increased.  Why is it that Demoncrats always think that business will reduce profits to cover new expenses...very curious!?

3.  The "Union Card" Legislation (the one that bans the secret ballot process during the unionizing process) will become law almost immediately.  Those that oppose the union in their workplace would have to do so publicly.  If public voting is such a great thing, we do we still cast SECRET ballots for the President and all other elections?!

4.  There will be new "Assault Weapons Ban" implemented (which really is a misnomer).  Better get your boom sticks while you still can (I am looking into a Bushmaster or Armalite AR-15 chambered for both the 223 Remington and the 5.56x45mm NATO round, myself).

 

If history proves me wrong, then I will accept it gladly.

Some wag once said a lynch mob is the perfect example of a democracy at work.  Only one person is against the idea and he’s swinging at the end of a rope.

I hope when Hype and Change meets Reality, Reality takes a big bite out of Hype and Change.  Or at least wipes the arrogant smirk off his face.

"I suspect that there is a lot of that buyer remorse floating around right now." nyexpat.

 

The only remorse that I can see is the media remorse over bleeding readers and listeners. They’re attempting to redirect the disgust that readers and listeners felt because of their defense of al-’Bama. Even people who, for whatever microminded reason, voted for al-’Bama have stopped reading and listening to the MSM because they’ve proven themselves to not be telling the truth. This is the only silver lining that I’ve seen out of this mess.

"Why is it that Demoncrats always think that business will reduce profits to cover new expenses...very curious!?", mbrewer.

 

They don’t, anymore than the Demoncrats would reduce taxes to cover new expenses. They know who will get hit and could give a damn as long as they’re funded. 

I keep hearing people say that you have to give them the benefit of the doubt because they believe in what they’re doing. Whale droppings! They can’t be that simple minded and still survive. Biden is supposed to have an IQ of 146, someone with that much intellectual horsepower may be ignorant but not stupid. It takes a modicum of stupidity to think that laying a monetary burden on someone will cause them to reduce their method of gaining income.

I’m afraid I’ll have to disagree here.  The Liberals will say that this was only possible through affirmative action and therefore it’s imperative to continue to give the rest of the oppressed masses a chance.

They’re already backpedalling on the race issue—can’t lose the "victim" status.

The Congressional Dems are already starting to get nervous with each new O administration pronouncement—therein lies the problem for them, if they let the "Change" happen they’ll be committing political suicide as well as national suicide and they know it.  And with each new uttering from Team O there are more people getting buyer’s remorse, or at least a bad case of the jitters.  What are we at now?  72 hours into the election results, the guys isn’t even in office yet, and already problems are beginning to seep up through the cracks like a slow and steady (Titanic if you will) leak?

I’ll say it again, hold fast and prepare for the hit, then take it to them using their tactics—this may turn out to be the worst thing that ever happened to the socialists in this country.

All those jubilant college kiddies won’t be so jubilant if Barry puts his Selective Service platform into place—think they’ll be supporting him or the Dems that support him in a few years if they get yanked out of college for the draft?  (and yes, it’s looking more and more like the draft will come into play before the four years are out, maybe even before two years in).

I don’t like it (because my family has to live with it), but sometimes the bitter pill has to be taken.  At least this is my way of keeping my spirits up.

Jane, the news of al-Bama’s "compulsory volunteer" plan for middle schoolers through college is already making the rounds.

Yeah, all those college punks and their Che flags and rocking of the vote won’t be so happy when they’re required to get off their duffs and "volunteer."   They can sing happy songs about Hope and Change as they paint sidewalks or something.

I just feel sorry for the college kids who work multiple jobs to get through school who may not have 100 hours a year to "volunteer."

Wait till he cracks down on the talk radio and free speech.  Free enterprise will be destroyed and free political speech will be gutted.  Nobody would listen to Libtard America on the Radio so now they’re going to shove it down our throats. 

Stand by for interesting times.

Froggie, read up on our Fairness Doctrine and the chilling implications for the conservative movement in the USA.
