About me
Bartender-of-Fortune, plying the the intoxicologist's trade at parties & events across the greater Bay Area.

Husband of Lexica, and probable accidental author of any of her clips/comments that involve excess vulgarity or the use of "ratfucksonofabitch" as a word.

5/1/09: I've decided to police the discussion on the threads that start off my clips, and delete comments that descend into ad hominem a.k.a. "personal attacks", or involve other acts of incivility towards other commenters..

I clip my fair share contentious clips, and I enjoy vigorous debate. But keep it civil, don't get personal.

If I could, I would disemvowel only the sections of comments that are actually uncivil, rude, personal, etc. But Clipmarks doesn't allow that, only deletion of an entire comment or nothing.

As why I've decided to moderate the threads I start, here's some cogent reasons.

And yes, I do in fact have my own moderator's seal of approval
Why I use Clipmarks
Because taking notes on paper and posting them on my front door doesn't get as much exposure.

I've also started using Clipmarks to store research materials for the series of stories I'm writing.

POPS
Disemvoweler: A Moderators Best Friend

 I've had a stated rule in my profile that I will delete comments in threads I clip that descend into personal attack. What the disemvoweler does is confiscates the offending poster's vowels. That way as the clip moderator, I can delete & repost their comment with only the offending segment edited. An example: "I think the politician you support has a history of lying and taking bribes. You must be a mental deficient or inherently corrupt for supporting him." becomes "I think the politician you support has a history of lying and taking bribes. Y mst b mntl dfcnt r nhrntly crrpt fr spprtng hm." Confronting peoples positions, facts, ideas, logic, or arguments. Just don't get personal or you lose your vowels. So says the moderator
