I don't post often, but I guess some just remember the few times I delete posts and give explanations why I did so. As for booners comment that I was complaining I was responding to Marwoods question about having help and I mentioned I chuckle about getting PM's from pissed of people about abuse of authority, coddling several here yada yada.

Fuck them, I always give a reason when I ban, no longer. If I deem it offensive and in violation of the CoC, they will just have to deal with it and figure it out on their own

If I was to give you a ban I would always give a reason as to why, if you don't receive a comment with your ban it wasn't me who banned you.

I don't know about anyone else's experience but I feel all you guys have been more than fair. It's horsepoop that people feel singled out, but don't know when to call it quits. Like I said, if they feel it isn't a fair blog or "free" enough for them then move on to somewhere else.

If I get a ban I know exactly why. No need to explain. Those who do complain are whiny female doges.

Fair enough. I don't know what you posted, but i mean sarcasm and jokes don't always translate well in text.

I'm glad it got cleared up.

I would have guessed Buddhist but what do i know? I remember a jewish girl I dated saying she was heartbroken when I told her my name because it was christian. I told her my name was given but I had the freedom to choose my faith.

I just don't understand the world when it comes to religion and politics, especially religion. One goal.

- bloatedmosquito

Look, I know i'm probably going to be chastised for this but the woman in 68 years old. The claim is 56 years old. At some point, is it not about the money? There's no (frank)ing way Bob Dylan remembers 20 years ago let alone 50+.


Is there no way that this couldn't have been filed earlier? I mean 56 years after the fact seems somewhat suspect to me, especially given what's at stake. I won't judge Bob for it until the facts come out, but I do question his ability to defend it. The (frank)ing guy probably doesn't remember where he was last week let alone 50 years ago.


Don't get me wrong, sexual assault is horrible and something I fear for my young daughters all the time. I do however find faulse accusations to be just as bad and wish there was a way to punish that without discouraging people from coming out against the perps.

Never knew that. I won't change my stance though unless theres overwhelming evidence. The poop i see thrown around in court over $100K/year is outrageous. Greed IMO is by far the largest problem with society.

Agree. Money is a huge motive for a lot of really poopty stuff that happens.

For example, a huge proportion of Canada’s population is fully vaccinated. There’s talk of semi-annual boosters already.

What’s the vaccination rate in most African countries? India etc? Money buys vaccines, gets economies going more quickly, helps populations prosper, while those less fortunate sink further. Yes, there is international aid coming from Canada in this regard, but there are probably millions of people around the world without access that want the treatment while we can sit here having stupid arguments about if we should or shouldn’t, while we drink our tequila.
