A few clarifications
I have turned off the comments section for the duration of a month. Comments do trickle in from time to time, and I enjoy them. I do not enjoy the spam comments, which until this blog is moved to different software cannot anymore be filtered out with any real efficiency as the “banned” shaft is full and bulging over.
Last week, I received an email from a college newspaper concerning Lyndon Larouche. I probably should take this moment to explain some things about Lyndon Larouche’s role on this blog, then cut and paste it over to a link to the sidebar.
#1: I am not nor have I ever been a member of any Lyndon Larouche Group.
#2: I have received and I imagine I will continue to receive comments from people who are currently or have previously been involved in a Lyndon Larouche Group. There seemed to be some confusion about the matter from the college newspaper writer, and I may well go back and edit Larouche related posts to make clearer that I am reposting other people’s words.
#3: I frequently post as an entry comments from people making warning sirens on Lyndon Larouche. I frequently write entries commenting on comments from Larouchites, and perhaps my last Larouche post — which was full of obscure references meant to irk a Larouchite who had commented previously, was not opaque enough — particularly for anyone “out of the loop” here.
#4: I consider Lyndon Larouche a cult leader. That is the reason I bump up comments such as “paultony”‘s or “Scott’s”, “Scott’s Comment” seems to have opened up a great deal on this topic (relative to the reach of this blog).
#5: The result of which is I constantly waver between an attitude of mockery to a more serious attitude of concern.
I’ll come up with another five or seven statements to round this up to an even 10 or 12. Feel free to email me on the subject, an email address somewhere on the sidebar I believe.
