The Interlude Becomes Less Egalitarian

I had to start moderating comments: some spammer posted a comment with multiple links to an Asian porn site. I prefer the unfiltered commentary—and will endeavor to keep it absolutely open, even if someone wants to say something I might personally dislike—but I don't want to allow those bastards even a few seconds of success on my nickle. I'll try to make sure that comments are posted as quickly as possible... unless you're a spammer/porn merchant, of course.

Comments Welcome (but Stick to the Topic)

This morning, someone anonymously commented on my post about The Tempest by providing a link to the American Family Association's Voter Issue Guide. For those who don't know about it, AFA is an evangelical Christian organization run by the reverend Donald Wildmon; to say that I strongly disagree with their position on every political and social issue is putting it mildly. While I've removed it as a comment on that post (it doesn't have anything to do with The Tempest—neither John McCain or Barack Obama was responsible for that production, so far as I know, and no one should hold it against either of them on election day), I've decided to create this post for the link. I have no problem with anyone suggesting alternative points of view on the Interlude as long as it's germane to the topic. Besides, the commenter really missed an opportunity: my previous post that day was about Palin Debate Bingo, which I think was a perfect place to start this discussion!
