The good senator from west Virginia is an American hero! And dont you forget it you pinko!

[comment edited -- UnPo]

Okay, I'm not gonna delete CC's comment completely, but I do think the rest of it was too close to the line. If I took you there, I understand that, and I'll be more careful.

Bloggers and commenters have to be precise with this kind of parody--and the above was having a litte too much FUN with the slurs.

I know that may not have been intentional, CC. Regardless, it cannot not be tolerated. You are free to defend yourself now, but I suggest that you let the joke drop.

that was my post. Put it back or erase the rest of it too. There was absolutly nothing offensive in what i wrote. Are there any Lava People reading this blog? i think you just dont like me. Not that i care. For someone who thinks they have a sense of humor you sure dont act like it. Am i supposed to take an old fool seriously or should i mock his ignorant use of the term "mud races"?

I have an idea- why dont you put my post back up and let people comment on it? If enough people think it is offensive i will apologize and never post again? Fair enough?
what do you think about this Dave? You seem to have a good sense of humor.

Cool out amish. It ain't your site and there's no need to make a federal case here. The blogger uses his/her best judgement in stewarding the comments section. Get over it.

It's not my blog, dude.

I'm glad you comment. I'm glad you love the site so much.

I love it too, and I have to leave it roughly as respectable as I found it. When edgy comedy is the game, this is a running concern.

It's not my blog, but today it's my responsibility, and this is my post. If you want to comment where someone else is in control, feel free to avoid my pieces. I'm not requesting that you do that, but I will say on my posts I retain editorial supremacy til Ace gets back; that includes preventing threads from going where I don't want them to; and, while I will hear dissent, I don't take orders or make deals.

Best.

Ive been posting here for a little while now and no one has ever complained before. Ace has never said anything negative at all. This is the second time unpopulist has insulted me. I am not a racist. I dont like it when people call me a racist and then edit my post so people cant see for themselves.

Email Ace with what i wrote. If he says im a racist i will leave and not come back. just dont edit me to make me look bad.

A,

I understand that you were typing while I was typing, so as to your demands I'll refer to the last paragraph of my previous response.

You don't seem to be a racist and no one said you were. No one said anything about you. Your COMMENT was edited because your COMMENT was unnacceptable to the administrator.

There is not an insult in the above. Arguably there is one here .

In that case, I honestly thought you were a troll--my first at HQ--and I was playing along, slapping you down the way I suspect trolls desire to be slapped. I'm sorry you were misjudged, but there, as here, the issue was clarity, and you may want to look into this, if comprehension and acceptance are interesting to you.

They certainly don't have to be, but my house, my rules.

I think the Apologist is right, though, man. Your cred's intact, no one else is upset and YOU CAN CHILL.

Or don't, whatever.

All right, an Ace-O-Lanche that I didn't have to complain to get! Thanks, Unpopulist!

And I've been reading and enjoying Amish's comments here for a while, and I have my doubts that you intended any harm, but a) anybody can get carried away, and b) an administrator has to do what an administrator has to do. But I say both of those things without having read all of Amish's original post, so what do I know?

It's Unpopulist's post, what he says goes.

Power trips r teh ghey.

Amish, you can guest-blog over at my place if you want.
