* Jamie - does allow personal attackes towards people who don't agree with her.

I live and sell in the worst perfoming zip code in the City, but I Believe! Do you?

Christian, the only comments I've ever censored for personal attacks were against you.

I will always lean toward putting up a comment because I'm against censorship on principle. Someone has to cross into pretty mean name-calling before I'll step in. (And obviously that's a judgment call, so my definition may not match up with yours.)

You must recognize that if you post comments here, you might get responses from people who disagree strongly with you. It comes with the territory, just as you are welcome to say your piece about this blog.

Dunn,

Just so you know, I got an e-mail from Jamie wherein she told me she was "censoring" me for attacking YOU!
