Politics

[bobquasit]

Okay. Per request, I will never make an unfiltered political post here again. I'll also go back and filter some of the more recent unfiltered political posts.

I'll post an announcement now and again about the existence of the political filter, however, if that's all right.

PS - what about humorous posts that relate to politics, like http://bobquasit.livejournal.com/701080.html and http://bobquasit.livejournal.com/700852.html ? Should I filter those as well?

PPS - Okay, I've filtered about ten recent posts. My apologies to the few who had commented on them, but who aren't on the politics filter; sometimes there are no good choices, I guess.

There are still some humorous political posts left. I can remove them if anyone wants me to; let me know. I'll filter any future posts of that sort. This means that for those not on that filter, I'll be posting much less often.

It's okay. Not everybody has to share the same interests.

I've added you to the filter, oceanstate. There are a lot of posts that you can see now that you couldn't before. But I'm going to stop writing about politics here, and go somewhere else. I'm not sure just where, yet; maybe Blogger. I'll post about it when I start it up. This way, I'll be able to write about politics publicly without worrying about filtering or offending people.

I also need to come up with a blog name, I suppose. How about "Ranting Liberal Bastard"? Is that too negative?

Meh, more like too generic. There are an awful lot of Ranters and Bastards in the blogosphere (not to mention Liberals.) I'd refine the name to something that expresses something unique about you, whether it's an unconventional opinion that you have, or something about your particular perspective, based on your life experiences and identifications.

That's a great suggestion, but so far I can't think of anything. I was trying to come up with an Orwell reference, but failed miserably. So far, the only thing I've got is "The Sheep That Howls", and that's just painfully lame.
