It's not pig latin and dogs are mentioned in the truffle post.— June 18, 2010 11:33 p.m.

I seriously doubt if SD Reader administration consults with writers and blog owners before editorial decisions are made. Prove me wrong.— June 18, 2010 9:45 p.m.

Truffle hog vs truffle dog from Wikipedia. Who knew. "Looking for truffles in open ground is almost always carried out with specially trained pigs (truffle hogs) or, more recently, dogs. The Lagotto Romagnolo is currently the only breed recognised for sniffing out truffles (although virtually any breed could be trained for this use). The female pig's natural truffle seeking as well as her usual intent to eat the truffle is due to a compound within the truffle similar to androstenol, the sex pheromone of boar saliva, to which the sow is keenly attracted."— June 18, 2010 9:11 p.m.

The SD Reader administration thought the stringer postings about one person were so out of line that the entire story where the violations occurred was removed. Gone in a blink of the eye. Many individuals are concerned about honoring the Terms of Use clearly included on the SD Reader website which gives bloggers the right to post using a screen name. The stringer in question finds a need to "out" someone by providing a presumed real name and other information to all interested parties. In my opinion these clumsy, immature acts border on harassment and are obvious attempts to shut down comments by one commentator. I do recall that certain French pigs have great noses for truffle hunting.— June 18, 2010 8:46 p.m.

Army sergeant comes back to San Diego from Afghanistan
I recall when the soldiers who fought in Vietnam came home to be spit upon by certain elements of society. Hopefully we have progressed as a nation and will honor those who serve now. Two tours of duty used to be the norm in the Vietnam era but soldiers are currently doing as many as five tours in Iraq. All we can do is pray for them at this juncture as the war shows no signs of ending anytime soon. Again KUDOS to our troops and their families.— June 18, 2010 3:11 p.m.
San Diego Gay and Lesbian News, against Gay and Lesbian Times
As you probably know, I was thinking more along the lines of G. Chaucer and his Canterbury Tales. In some ways the SD Reader Blog A Sphere has characters similar to those of Chaucer and of course we are all on some journey.— June 18, 2010 2:07 p.m.
Army sergeant comes back to San Diego from Afghanistan
No where in my comments have I "put down" American soldiers. By the way the former President of the Unites States had an interesting military service in the "Champagne Unit" out of Texas where the sons of the wealthy and politically connected received special dispensations. But he did serve in some fashion.— June 18, 2010 1:58 p.m.
