#1 Another reason why TOTTEN is premature to say AQ = Radical Islamism has "lost".

#2 Totten always boasts about his Muslim friends---the fact that he believes that they're his friends proves that he understands diddly.

#4 Moderator: this is how you trim a JU article.

OK, from now on I will follow Fred's example by posting 100% of a JU article. I will include every single word, just like Fred did here.

#5 Mike, don't be a tendentious idiot. At least, don't do it if you want to continue to enjoy the privilege of posting on Fred's site.

Cordially but pointedly,

your friendly moderator

#6 Dr. Steve for once forgot to check the original, which was concise enough to post untrimmed. It's a nice little judgement call thingy. I try to err on the side of trimming, assuming that anyone who wants to read the entire thing can click through to the original. Mike S, you did that beautifully with that PDF document yesterday. (I didn't click through because I badly needed a nap, but I appreciated the exerpt.)

It would be a tragedy if Rantburg began allowing comments to be posted by tendentious idiots. Thank God that the moderators vigilantly stand guard against that remote but real possibility.

#9 A few slip through, those are quickly purged.

#11 Rantburg is a great website, where arguments and ridicule are shared, tolerated, indulged and enjoyed. The moderators themselves have thick skins, and so they are a good example for all Rantburgers. This is a website with a wide variety of opinions and perspectives.

#12 That's really true.

#13 I meant to say that #9 is really true.

#10 and #11 disappeared for a while and then reappeared.

#14 All true. And Mike S., you're very good at not being a tendentious idiot when you want. ;-) Unintentionally rubbing people the wrong way on occasion due to the difficulties of non-face-to-face communication (like my own unintentionally egregious tactlessness more often than I would like), is not at all the same thing.

#15 He's gaming you TW.

#16 He'd better not be, HalfEmpty. If you're right, the moderators will ban him again, and I'll feel as gullible as I did the last couple of times I mistakenly stood up for a troll.

#18 Its good to see that spike is back in form today.

I'd appreciate it if smart guy would troll without taunting my name though.

#19 Tainting. Tainting.

Gotta love that predictive text thing. Sometimes it even gets it right.
