Ok, kids. I'm annoyed and I have to share. I'm not going to pick on anyone person/poster, but today is a "this is my blog, so respect my house rules" post. I'll keep it simple. Try to keep comments on topic. That's easy to understand, right? We *never* expect, or even want, everyone who comments to agree with what we're saying. That would be intolerably dull. We also *love* extra information that enriches our understanding of the issues: links, new blogs to check out, videos, pics...it's all good. But spamming this blog with "theory of everything" cut-and-pastes from incoherent authors is Right Out. I don't have the time I used to have to blog anymore, so when I come here, I want that to be time well spent. Be funny, be angry, be contrary, be yourself. But please try to keep the discussion, well, a discussion. Pedantry is really quite a bore, and you won't win any friends or convince any enemies with it.
