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.

I suspect that column was linked somewhere else, or a bunch of somewhere elses in the right-wing sphere. And WhiteManistan acts in gang unity. Everyone else does not, largely. That’s a distinguishing feature between them and everyone else and it’s why, as a minority political power, it can still have really outsize influence.

I’ve been following Will Bunch for years, even have one of this books.
Though I seldom have the stomach to dip into the comments, this is a common reaction to his writing, and it’s often many of the same screenames repeatedly.
There’s something about being unabashedly liberal in public that brings out the hate.

Different mental wiring. Hate-fascists really gin up fast. Net anonymity helps, works on both sides, to be fair. Social networking code, and I include comment spaces as that, reward extreme reaction. I think it’s always been this way, even back in the days of dial-up when you really had to pay for it if you were going outside the area code. Now it’s just more lubricated. I’m a firm believer in not honoring free speech on your private virtual property now. The opposite side of the coin is now so obvious you don’t need to see it always mixed in with everything else out of a sense of society and fairness. The other side has no compunctions about using it on its enemies, anyway.
