You know, a chaste, manly kiss. One that smells of turpentine and aqua velva.

I also will take this moment to mention that the delightful romakimmy has set an ass-shoutout bar that will be difficult to meet, although I urge you all to try, as this will in turn prompt her to top her previous offerings, the mere thought of which melts my a significant portion of my butter.

Miguel was my captain, and I his acolyte. He personifies everthing I once held dear about Metafilter, and everything I envy in the world and wish for my own: eruditon, ribaldry, aesthetics, gentility, wisdom, and the ability to not take oneself too seriously. Such things may not be prized in these contentious days, but Miguel embodied them, and much more, often to his detriment. I miss him, and wherever he hangs his hat tonight, I wish him good luck, a...

A serious statement on the dearth of "real Conservatives" here

Sometimes, it can be a difficult and thankless job. I imagine most of them have fled for Freep, where they too can bask in the warm sunlight of affirmation and have their asses gently patted for thinking correct thoughts.

I, on the other hand, am apparently a masochist :)

once a person resorts to personal attack - which encompasses more than namecalling - their case is lost. It is one thing to call someone a name face to face in the heat of a moment - but there are very few hot moments here that don't go through Preview. Where they should die.

Argue the point, argue the politics, but leave the person alone.

I recently saw crunchland and Valerie Bertinelli-Van Halen walking out of a Mark Shale in midtown St. Louis arm-in-arm drinking mint smoothies (which you are TOTALLY not supposed to do in Mark Shale), and I have to admit that crunchland looked *spectacular*. I think he had just gotten some new shoes. Brown. Monkstrap. Shined to a luminous gloss.

I never read his links, though. Are they good?

Perhaps the contention here is not about foldy per se, but the style in which he has historically posted. Certainly I would agree that the content of the post - the Human Rights Watch document - is worthy of consideration. Certainly it could have been discussed, although just as certainly Matt's observations that it would have inevitably devolved into the same my side v, your side sniping we see every day on these sorts of topics was correct, too.

It's a shame that MB has outlived her relevancy. Several years of gamely trudging over the same, hoary Dennis-Miller inspired ground would take it's toll on anyone, though. Welfare for parents indeed, heh. MB, let me know when my check gets sent, would you? That'd be great.

As one of the mefi "conservatives", I suppose hooting about the left-slant here is akin to wishing there were more on our side of the argument once in a while. The one thing I do try to propose to the left, though, is to avoid knee-jerk characterizations and try to see the other side. Often as not, we're not discussing matters of Truth and Falsehood here, we're discussing points of view. Not much of this is cut and dried, right or wrong kinds of stuff.

I'm not sure what everyone's so peevish about, Metafilter is ALL opinion anymore. And when it comes to politics, facts have always run a distant third here behind "my petty animosities" and "highlighting my credentials as an outraged party-member for the edification and approval of the collective." So what makes this so offensive? That it's pro-Bush (horrors!) or that it's from 111 (horrors upon horrors!)?

I remember a lot of threads, but not a lot of calls for banning or even hushing foldy. In fact, what I remember is a lot of trenchant defense on his behalf. And the case could be made that foldy is FAR more provocative than 111, and just as email-address-less. Either way, I'd... [more]
