Ashley: No, I won’t be entering. Not for the reasons discussed on UU, though. I say if you’d have fun entering go for it.

Are you going to be in the contest this year? I saw all the stuff on UU and now I am not sure whether I want to participate or not…

Thomas: But it does stop everyone having a go at Bushman over who wins.

Usually though, if contests are decided by popular vote, the best doesn’t necessarily win. (European song contest, anyone? (Actually, not such a great example. About 99% of that sucks regardless)).

Jimmy: Yeah, there is that. But atleast they didn’t let Wade Johnston win it (which I was expecting them to do).

I think the BUSHMAN thingy should be boycotted because they inflicted Julia Nunes on the world…AAAHHHHHH!!

Lonna: That’s okay then. I wouldn’t want to discourage vulgarity or inflammatory discussion.

Oh no, you didn’t use those words, I did- a not so quiet reference to how things are handled on other sites. Not that I personally have ever been in trouble for anything like that. Well, not since college anyway.

Your sandbox, your rules. Makes a lot of sense to me.

Lonna: Did I use the words, “vulgar and inflammatory”? Because that sounds like most of what I write. *Goes to look at comment policy*

“Abusive comments”. Yeah, I’ve had plenty of those. And not just individual comments. There are a couple of people who go directly to spam because I’ve got sick of them.

I don’t have any clear rules. The closest is, “Any comment I want to delete will be deleted.” Which varies from day-to-day.

Whoa! That’s classic.

Hey, Woodshed, just to be clear, do you have any rules about comments left on the blog?

Have you ever removed someone’s post for being vulgar or inflammatory?

Just curious ;)
