StormWarning’s Counterterrorism

This revision reflects a comment on commenting. I’ve noticed that a number of blogs have a practice of having the “blog owner” (or editor as the bloggers sometimes refer to themselves) approve entries before they appear on the blog as a reader comment. I do not ascribe to that practice. Commenting here is simple. Don’t scream or curse at me; stay on topic; and if you’re a spammer who happens to get through the filter, say “adios!”

Through the kind offer by my friend Moonage, this is my blog. As such, it is a place for me to express my opinions and analysis on subjects I find interesting. Unless pushed too far (”too far” is a decision that I make), I will not censor anyone. If a comment is painfully stupid and inane, the chances are that it will remain, and possibly be ridiculed. I will also not allow discussions from other blogs to somehow bleed over to this one.

Let me make this clear. As I wrote in my apparently much ignored interview with Pakistani Spectator (ignored by their readers, mind you - I believe for its honest views and directness - I conclude “ignored” because there was never any “bump” in readership from Pakistan), I write this blog to please no one but myself. Thus, my response to a commenter who once wrote that he had a lesser opinion of good’ole Stormwarning…

Stick to my topics and I’ll interact. Insist on debating someone else’s topics, I won’t do it. You may still think whatever you wish. But I have no intention of debating politics here. And I really hate it when someone says the word “dude,” or worse, refers to me as “dude.”  It is a clear sign of ignorance.).

Comments are, of course, welcomed. In fact, they are encouraged.

Guidelines:

1) stay on the topic of the post
2) do not curse me out or call me names
3) do not import issues from other blogs
4) do not threaten me (as one sorry person once did prior to being reported to the “authorities”)
5) probably others later on as they occur

Now, if that isn’t clear enough…well…too bad!
