...on my post about that rag known as the "Stars and Bars":
Dear Sir/Madame,
I very well might debate you as to the "real" causes of the Civil War. I just have one requirement though: please comment under your own name. Why? Well while I do allow* anonymous comments, I can't say that I actually respect people who write things anonymously on the Internet, with very few exceptions. How can I respect someone who says "I have this conviction" while at the same time also saying "but I don't want to be identified with this conviction"? It's a silly contradiction in terms, and I'm being kind by using the word "silly" as a descriptive.
So either continue to comment anonymously and not expect any kind of response from me OR comment under your own name and I might actually respond in kind. My $10/year, my rules.
Oh and remember...
Available for sale HERE in case you want one for your very own.
Have a Nice Day!

(*) This sounds so haughty, namely that I "allow" anonymous comments. In point of fact, when it comes to run-o-the-mill comments I could care less:
a) who comments
and/or
b) whether the comments are anonymous or not.
Remember, I don't do this to entertain anyone other than myself. Other than deleting comments that are just thinly disguised spam (for example, I've deleted countless comments from law firms every time I would blog about my own divorce) & blatantly offensive hate speech, I pretty much don't give a rat's posterior what anyone writes. Just don't expect me to react like Pavlov's dog just because your decided to grace me with your wisdom.
