Dis Coarse Discourse 0

Via the Las Vegas Sun, Jamelle Bouie offers a theory as to who is most responsible for making dis coarse discourse so much coarser. He notes that

Trump has been the most high-profile purveyor of violent language toward his opponents since he stepped onto the national stage as a political contender in 2015.

Fantasies of violence against political enemies are, in fact, a defining feature of Trump’s political language.

Methinks he has a point. Follow the link for his evidence.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
