Question for the Readers
A heckler named Ingbliss has just announced that might makes right, and that this is the only organizing principle of society.
At this point, if I use what little might I have over this wretch, namely, to ban or not to ban, in a arbitrary and high handed fashion, by my standards, I would be wrong, but by the standard of Ingbliss, right. This is the same thing I have done periodically to anyone who announces a similar standard concerning courtesy, or freedom of speech. I enforce it on them, to the small degree I can.
My rule against heckling and strawman arguments have already been violated dozens of times, as has my rule against blasphemy.
But I will offer the same deal Hela offered Baldur’s ghost. If a single reader will tell me he wishes to continue the conversation with Ingbliss, I will retract the ban.
