Back again
August 2, 2009 — Deacon DuncanWell, here I am back again. Very nice vacation, I might add.
The time off gave me a chance to review a few things, and I’ve implemented a new comments policy that I think will be easier to maintain going forward. There’s a link for it at the top of the page. Basically it says that if someone submits a comment it doesn’t necessarily mean I should or will publish it. I’m generally in favor of free speech, but everything in its place. The comments section is the place for comments that enhance the quality and value of the blog by making some kind of substantive contribution (for or against my remarks). The discussion forum is the place for everything that may or may not meet the quality standards of the comments section. I think that strikes a reasonable compromise between my desire for free speech and my desire for high-quality comments, don’t you?

I was beginning to think you were dead. Welcome back. I may have to register for the forms and check them out.

What a relief! I was beginning to wonder if we should start looking for a ransom note. Good to have you back!
