Also too, just a reminder that you can see the comment guidelines for yourself by clicking on the “Comment Guidelines” tab at the top of the blog. Maybe now is a good time to check them out for a refresher.

Whoa, guys.

I’d like to take a moment to remind all of the comment guidelines in the absence of AKMuckraker, after someone messaged me to look at the comments here.

Being Offensive – I reserve the right to remove any comments which I find offensive, inflammatory, or disrespectful. Differing opinions are welcome, but play nice, or don’t play at all. I am all for free speech, but the Mudflats is a benevolent dictatorship and I make the final call.

It is never OK to engage in ad hominem attacks on other commenters, the moderation team or the community at large. If you have a gripe, I’m all ears. Email me at akmuckraker(at) yahoo(dot)com and we can hash it out. If you post a comment, you’re griping to thousands of people which is generally disruptive and inflammatory.

I have to say I am quite upset to read through the comments. So much so that if I were still in charge of dealing with the comments, I would actually lock the comments on this post and do some serious cleaning up – and I am sure that AKMuckraker will likely choose to do that when she returns.

The Mudflats is (usually) our civil space.

Please keep it civil, guys.

Open thread, right. Salute to the memory of Roy Buchanan.

I always had a stupid idea that it would be interesting to see Roy, Ox and Buddy Rich play together: The Absolute Deadpan Trio.

michigander Says I don’t doubt Gryphen, I respect him but fear he accidently lay down under the bus. Consider this: Palin’s DO divorce. Megamouth: “They couldn’t take the rumours and abuse anymore and it destroyed their marriage” or Sarah has had a breakdown due to the abuse by the blogosphere and on it goes. There is a myriad of valid sounding excuses that will make bloggers look like callous haters, garner sympathy for SP and detract from the truth.

I agree. They will blame the media and bloggers, and her fans will love her even more. Unless, something comes out regarding an affair Palin had or something to do with Trig.

I’m starting to think that this was planted as “Gotcha” media by Palin. Meg already seems to be saying, See….we told you people are makin’ things up and now you can see that we were right. Poor, poor Palin. Those mean liberals.

The other questions is why are Sarah and Meg reading the blogs and responding to every little thing that is said about Palin. I find that very odd.

Can you imagine if President Obama read the blogs and responded to all the things that are said about him. No….he rises above it. Something Palin cannot do.

Closet Pup, that’s what Nora O’Donnell reported last Monday on MSNBC! Forget where I got the link, though. But, she did. I read something else, too, that it was her, Piper and someone else, but NO TOAD.
