It is my view that while legal, "free speech" applies only to government and not to blog owners, the widest expression of opinions leads to the most refinement and sharing of concepts and even, occasionally, beliefs. None-the-less, I have blanked out the comment above because it was a blatant violation of my few comment rules. <br /><br />First it was not "within musket shot of the topic." I wrote about my reactions to the Dallas murders. I wrote not one word about gun control, not one word about restricting in any way, citizen access to firearms. The comment did as JCE wrote, troll. It was in no way related to the article I wrote.<br /><br />Second it (falsely) attempted to label me with opinions and actions. I suppose a blog owner has to expect some of that, but given the blatant failure to pay even marginal attention to article, if not academically ad hominem, (I think it was) at the very least was on the border.<br /><br />Finally, while I do not think the disjointed, ungrammatical rant constituted a threat against Mr. Obama or anyone else, I read it more as a curse, it again was at best in very bad taste.<br /><br />So, the comment violates my rules and has been taken down. Fair warning, I shall do exactly the same thing to any follow on comments by the author.<br /><br /><br />*********************JimBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17312606954135884910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3795176.post-34629923645436165742016-07-18T14:17:52.501-05:002016-07-18T14:17:52.501-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.JimBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17312606954135884910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3795176.post-42552851489414503312016-07-16T00:01:26.978-05:002016-07-16T00:01:26.978-05:00A troll...but not just any troll.
