This site is named for the famous statement of US Congressman Willard Duncan Vandiver from Missouri : "I`m from Missouri -- you'll have to show me." This site is dedicated to skepticism of official dogma in all subjects. Just-so stories are not accepted here. This is a site where controversial subjects such as evolution theory and the Holocaust may be freely debated.
My biggest motivation for creating my own blogs was to avoid the arbitrary censorship practiced by other blogs and various other Internet forums. Censorship will be avoided in my blogs -- there will be no deletion of comments, no closing of comment threads, no holding up of comments for moderation, and no commenter registration hassles. Comments containing nothing but insults and/or ad hominem attacks are discouraged. My non-response to a particular comment should not be interpreted as agreement, approval, or inability to answer.

There has not been any argument in any post on this blog that a rational person would call a "let them eat cake" argument. It seems that you don't understand this phrase any more than you do most of the things you attempt to comment on.
> the same people who are in favor of allowing arbitrary censorship of visitors' comments on blogs and other Internet forums. <
You never have given examples of arbitrary censorship. You have always been censored for cause.

It is obvious what "let them eat cake" means, dunghill. It means offering or suggesting a non-existent or inferior alternative. You are always saying that I don't understand something without giving your interpretation. That doesn't look very cool.

There was a recent news story that someone traveled 1300 miles to burn down the house of an Internet rival, and you don't believe that some bloggers take advantage of their power to arbitrarily censor visitors' comments. What a dodo.

But this is existent and superior.

What an absurd statement!

Is that censorship?
> and you don't believe that some bloggers take advantage of their power to arbitrarily censor visitors' comments. <
But you have never been able to cite an example. What a dodo.
