Dean's World

Defending the liberal tradition in history, science, and philosophy.

Good Night And Good Luck

With much shock I saw Ron Coleman leave. I respected him and enjoyed talking to him. With greater shock I read the words of Rosemary Esmay. I know that she and Dean don't see eye-to-eye on all things but her words struck me. I've been in their home and they're both great peeps. I still return even after seeing Dean in boxers. If it was briefs my mind is telling me they were boxers and I'm thankful for that.

I know other front page writers are considering packing their things and leaving too. Well, I've decided and I'm out. As you may have noticed (or not notice depending on what you think of me in general) a lot of my posts are light in tone and nature. The reason for this is because I was concerned about letting people know what I really think about things. Now that I cannot freely say what I feel about Islam, that it has become taboo, I know it is time for me to move on. And move on I shall.

Mr. Robert Spencer was kind enough to offer me a writing position on his blog - JihadWatch. I'm going to take him up on it. Pending an evaluation of my writing style and skillz I hope to be contributing in short order.

Its been fun but don't believe everything Dean says. Battlestar Galactica has been consistently awesome.

I'm still on the fence about this. The only posting I do here is book-related, but I'm not sure I want my name associated with a site that requires a test of idealogical purity to participate.

Even if I'd easily pass the test.

It's like watching a friend join the John Birch Society. Good luck with it, Kevin.

Guess I'll have to start reading Jihad Watch so I can keep up with the latest Kevin D antics.

Someone worse that an Islamophobe is popping up tomorrow...Kelly Pickler (Dean's favorite contestant ever!!) will be on the show tomorrow.

Dean, I'd personally ban anyone that likes Kelly Pickler. I'd almost go so far as to strap a bomb on MY chest and blow her off the stage, thus proving to readers that not all terrorists are muslim....I'm an atheist. However, I'm a peaceloving guy with no real access to bomb-making equipment....ok, I guess she's cute enough...I'll let her live...

Note: the above post was a complete joke. I do NOT intend nor will I cause any harm to Kelly Pickler. I also will not pay anyone to carry out such acts of violence against Kelly Pickler. I

In fact, I would love to see Kelly Pickler naked on my dinner table...ok...that's enough Tim....wait, I want Kelly Pickler to bear my children!!!

Dean, please ban Tim.

No, wait...Kelly, call me!! You know I voted for you so many times last year my phone broke!!! Kelly, you had me at "Do Wut?"

Commenting on Dean's World is a privilege, not a right. Dean is your host, you are his guest, and you should behave in that fashion. Dean is not your babysitter, nor is he your punching bag. Please remember this. In general, you are free to disagree with anyone on any subject you wish, but abusive behavior will not be tolerated.

Of course we all lose our tempers now and then. Dean freely admits to being imperfect in this regard, which is why regulars to this establishment will generally be cut more slack than people who we don't know very well.

Still: behave like an adult, or go find somewhere else to play. Thanks.
