*** Note from Blog Management.

While this blog is a supporter of free speech, it also feels that popular discourse has become contaminated by unncessary nastiness and vitriole. Gratituitous slurs, such as the first comment to the previous post, even if disguised as satire, do not help this blog to set an example for the Mainstream Media about how to discuss issues without resorting to abuse.

On the other hand, this blog is not in favor of censorship and doesn't think that comments ought to be removed unless they incite violence. Nor does this blog think that radio commentators, irrespective of their offensiveness, should be fired until the public stops listening in protest. In a market of free ideas, the market should choose which ideas gain exposure and which are buried.

Thus the comment in question was only removed to give its author the chance to think about whether s/he shares this philosophy. If not s/he is welcome to repost the the comment and it will not be deleted.

Thank you,

Blog Management.

i was only sharing the contents of a chain letter i had received. it is just like you zionists to silence freedom of speech as you have silenced the millions of innocent muslims you savagely murder and whose blood you drink every day.

also, small dogs are contaminated and exist contrary to the will of allah. this applies especially to chihuahuas.

Oh yeah?! I can see how many teeth you have when you chew on the shakshuka. I can see how many slivovitz glasses you drank last shabbes.

All this with the camera that, insh'allah, will continue to report on your dwelling (my personal service djinni planted it there).
