If his ideas were actually pertinent in the world, don't you think he would be higher than last in the ratings book for cable "news" programs?"<BR/><BR/>If that was tongue in cheek humor, then all I can say is that you didn't succeed to convey your intent.<BR/><BR/>With regards to the moderation, I always publish other people's comments, regardless of whether or not I agree. <BR/><BR/>While you may find the moderation annoying, there is a good reason. Moderation is needed because there are too many people out there without any common sense. Because of their lack of judgment, I refuse to allow any comments on my blog, where people will use any profanity, offensive language, or threatening comments. From my perspective, those types of comments do not add any value to any meaningful debate or discussion.PinkBunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02271826379385060678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7773081715782863286.post-7527268919091790622009-01-28T22:32:00.000-05:002009-01-28T22:32:00.000-05:00Your mistake is assuming I am correlating anyone's...Your mistake is assuming I am correlating anyone's ratings to validity of arguments.

Consider Rush Limbaugh, whose ratings are supported by anti-intellectual, right-wing Americans, who wouldn't recognize truth, but it doesn't make anything out of Limbaugh's mouth pertinent or valid.<BR/><BR/>------------------<BR/>"Does Olberman's opinion count if no one watches?"PinkBunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02271826379385060678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7773081715782863286.post-23723827218754081832009-01-18T03:42:00.000-05:002009-01-18T03:42:00.000-05:00This is amuzing to me on so many different levels....This is amuzing to me on so many different levels.
