What I have done on my sites is to allow off-topic blog posts from regular on-topic contributors.

I agree. Look at this users history of posts. He doesn't qualify under those terms. It is pretty much all this political diatribe. Even used "come on" titles that sounded "RE" but it was just the hook.

Anyway, I can't expend energy on this today, with this flu I got, I would have to improve to die.

Another point that seems lost is that DanB gave me responsibility to "police" this place and I do that the best I can. He tends to have a hands off attitude because he seems allergic to confrontation.

It seems that if he cared he would comment?

Anyway, back inside for a shower see if I can drown myself quietly.
