"it’s the same as for neighborhood bloggers, and the same as for stringer posts. Don’t slander, libel, or inflame with incendiary rhetoric. That’s it. By jayallen" Jay, there were some posts removed from a neighborhood blogger's thread that were really innocuous, and yet I've seen material that would fall into your three categories stated above, remain up forever. What is your source and working definition for "slander, libel, and incendiary rhetoric?" Are blogs held to the same standard for these three as other kinds of writing published on the site?— October 27, 2009 3:18 p.m.

Cuddle, you know the convo has moved to the link I posted above, where you have begun reposting--can you guys keep it over there, in one place, so we can follow? :)— October 27, 2009 3 p.m.

Who Killed Richard Swink?
This is a most interesting discussion, and I look forward to hearing jayallen's reply to #21. I was also wondering about the distinction between staff blogs and news. What are the criteria for staff blogs, if any? They are clearly not held to similar standards as a published news or cover story, but are they held to any standards, or are they considered to be on par with whatever--as you put it, jayallen--just some yahoo is posting as a stringer or personal blog? I appreciate your taking the time to parse out these differences :)— October 27, 2009 12:44 p.m.

PS: Just email me the paper, doll. You have blogs to do too, and I would not attempt to attract angry, torch-wielding mobs my direction over possible interference with the appearance of a blog entry from antigeekess :)— October 27, 2009 11:22 a.m.

"Mircea Eliade (who, it may surprise you to know, I critiqued MOST harshly -- much moreso than Marx or Freud)." I read Eliade around the same time I read Campbell--a lonnng time ago. If I had to guess, you probably take issue with his "eternal return?" It's the only concept of his I can think of at the moment, but it's the biggie, I believe. I can understand how a small, 'esoteric' ethnic studies (not my word!:) department might have these issues--makes more sense now, thanks. So Campbell started up Comparative Religion at Sarah Lawrence--when? 70s? And there weren't any academic-focused programs, just straight doctrine/theology? Interesting... In my most condescending, cheeky, colonio-paternal tone: "Why, it's still in its infancy!" [sound of AG's palm upside SD's head] :)— October 27, 2009 10:55 a.m.

Oops, I just now used the "O," but have been using the "0" (zero) mostly--which is what it is supposed to be, right?— October 27, 2009 10:47 a.m.

Of course we don't think that, creO. Feel free to email me via the Reader, and if you want a quick proofread--I do it for a living, practically, anyway. :)— October 27, 2009 10:46 a.m.

So, just wanted to get that link out to you quickly. Now, you want to choose a neighborhood, and once you have something ready to post (it can be as short or long as you like), just follow the instructions--it is very easy, and as the saying goes--"If my lameazz can do it..." ;) My fingers are crossed for you getting that "toknahwa," because no one will deserve it--or earn it--more than you! As for AG and I, we will look forward to just reading your stuff. Oh, and you can win more than once, you just have to keep posting. I have never won, but some posters I know here have won a couple of times. Good motivator, huh? :)— October 27, 2009 9:39 a.m.
