Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Leer at will - only for UMass students (and faculty)

From a pointed Graham post at NRO, we learn that



UMass (also) has a speech code, by the way (it bans, among other things, "staring or leering"), so figure that one out. 



Leer at will, my Yankee friends, below the fold, and indulge in a little healthy Thoreauvian civil disobedience -

NJ, could you confirm that Meta has been banned. She seems unable to comment. If so I'm beyond belief at the way she has been treated. Unfairly, unjustly and without benefit of being able to defend herself. Certainly would seem to go against everything in that banner up there.

Luther,

I continue to witness your plaintive "whinings" as to whether your "friend' meta has been banned. Kindly give it a "friggin' break"...IYDFM!!!!!

If you haven't, yet, developed either a "set of BIG ONES"...or... "AN ACCUTE GRASP OF THE F*****G OBVIOUS"... YOU HAVE LESS THAN LITTLE HOPE. !!

Of course...I remain your faithful servant...as always???

Look at the date, Garry.

Garry, I was short of time this morning so only pointed you to the obvious.

But upon rereading it would appear that MF's new comment policy, or recently enforced comment policy, only applies to one person.

Personal insult, yep, you do it. Foul language, yep, you do it. Though I guess asterisks cover a lot of sin.

And you know, really, considering your lack of knowledge as to what is going on here, your best option for spouting off might be silence.

And oh... I suspect one of my huevos would choke you, little man.

The ZooMass student body has nothing so leerable to tempt them. My graduate alma matar (USC) on the other hand, had them everywhere.

OMG!!!

TYVM. I'm guilty of a ogling and leering here.
