Civility for thee, but not for me.


From the disclaimer sent to newly-registered commenters at Joel Johannesen's "Proud to be Canadian" right-wing web site and circle jerk:

And most of all remember that character assassination attempts or even personal insults against the site owner, blogger(s), columnists, or any commenter --are simply not tolerated. Nor are rude, insulting, bigoted cliché remarks made in blanket form against the group at PTBC or any portion of them, nor conservatives generally for that matter. If you type "Nazi" or "heil" or "Hitler" or "fascist", you will be banned for life simply on the basis that you're a moron. If you type "homophobe", you may be banned for life or just a for a while.

From a recent column by PTBC columnist and screaming closet case Doug Giles:

When it comes to unleashing humorous and scathing vocal invectives, Jesus was King of Kings. Yes, the Prince of Peace punk’d people like no other could. Would He have used the word “faggot” in one of His verbal chainsaw massacres upon the political and ecclesiastical morons of His day? Absolutely … not.

No, Christ would not have called some soulless, Aqua Net addicted, duplicitous politician who hires anti-Christ, homely bloggers a fag. That would needlessly offend the homosexual community by comparing them to a skanky politician.

Ya know, Doug, maybe it's not my place, but I'm guessing that anyone who uses that much mousse really shouldn't be dissing the gay community. You never know when you might suddenly need to find a whole new social circle.

I'm just sayin'.
