A Small Request

I understand that there are people out there who disagree with me about a lot of stuff, especially in the area of politics. I also believe that these people have as much right as I do to express themselves. I don't mind my blog being used as a forum for political discussion either; as a matter of fact, I welcome it. Insightful, spirited debate is always a good thing.

But please, please, please, for the love of God and Pete and all that is Holy, don't post anything vulgar, offensive, uneducated, or rude. I've had to field a few nasty comments from mainlanders in the past few days, and I'm unimpressed. Educated, well-thought-out arguments are fine, but you're not going to win anyone over with snide, insulting remarks.

Mainlander.

If you're going to be insulting, you could at least capitalize it.

Dear Becca,

I am enjoying your blog. So much of what you are writing about reminds me of my 3 yrs. in Japan in the early 70's...the slippers, the shower. Do you have a deep tub you fill with water and then heat? ah, the memories of adapting to an alien culture without knowledge of the language, altho I spent 2-1/2 yrs. studying it. Engjoy yourself. Even if you go back, things won't be the same. The house I lived in was turned into a parking lot. More lucrative, I guess.
