I would like to second Dr Guy. I generally disagree with most of the fine folks here on most of the topics discussed. But I thoroughly enjoy the discourse and feel no enmity either way. If things really do start bugging you Erathoniel, there is a handy feature called a blacklist. If I might offer some advice, don't take things to personal. It's just the internets after all

I don't care if you stay or if you go.

You're profusion of irritating articles is irritating, but I am under the impression you delete a lot of comments written in your articles.  Maybe I'm mixed up with someone else.

If that is you, then I don't really think that you have room to say that you are trying to start discussion if you are deleting things people write off your blog.  Again, if this is not you, I apologize.  I don't read your blog usually.

Anyway, if you want to discuss real life, controversial issues at JU then you need to have a thick, thick skin.  This is a very different thing from having a thick, thick skull.  Some people don't know the difference and I don't know enough about your blogs to know if you do or not.

Nope, that's him.

Again.  It's him.

He doesn't know the difference at all.

My answer, in a word?  For most people it would be no.  For you?

Yeah.

This isn't a "we hate Erth" club...so by all means stay.  It's not in our power to decide who stays and who goes anyway.

It's great you are writing....I mean if it means that much to you, then wonderful...but maybe you can save a few of those ideas for a rainy day...instead of posting them all at once....

Most of the topics you are writing about have been discussed ad nausea on this site, and discussed BETTER.  A little research would save you the backlash of the community and you might learn something.

Here is what is annoying.  You're hogging JU.  Ruining the experience and fun of it for other players.

And in doing so losing any credibility you *may* ever have. 

Stay or go?  That's up to you.  But unless and until you start sharing don't expect lots of warm fuzzies from the crowd.

I try to delete comments due to objections with the content, not the views, of the comments.

Again, I'm not hogging it. It's not like I eat up 90% of JU's bandwith. I'm simply posting a lot of articles. I'm also bringing my opinions, and I believe that more visible support for certain issues can have a potent effect, even if I may not argue it the strongest.

If you don't wnat to change, don't.  Just expect to continue to be ignored and never find your articles featured.  Nature will take care of itself after that.  {crickets chirp}

Terp, you do realize that I get featured often. I have four popular articles, and I've gotten multiple featured ones. It's the responses I'm getting that are negative, and I'm getting plenty.

I have no idea what you are trying to express in this sentence.  It sounds like you are trying to weasel out of having honest discussion you claim to desire even though you are deleting people's comments.  "Deleting the content not the views?"  I can only guess at the minute differentiations that make up your logic.  Again, you seem to be separating carmine buttons from scarlet buttons when most people just see red buttons.

Won't be coming back to your blog.  It doesn't make sense to me.

momijiki, I'm not deleting comments because they disagree with me. If you swear in a comment, or put in content I percieve as objectionable (language, offensive content), I will delete it.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.  Doesn't mean it last's long though.

I'm interested in discussion of multiple controversial topics, that, if merged together, would be near-impossible to comprehend.
