Our New Place
Welcome to the new home of johnny dollar's place. If you have bookmarked our old site please update your bookmark (or favorites listing) to http://johnnydollar.us to return here. The previous site remains as an archive (2004-2007) for older posts, so links to published articles will not change. But if you subscribed to our RSS feed you will have to resubscribe using the RSS button on this site. The search function in our right hand column encompasses all posts in both locations.
Commenting Rules
We welcome all points of view at J$P, but unlike some sites we don't permit people to greet those who
disagree with personal attacks, name-calling, or profanity. So if you want to
avoid having your comments edited or deleted, or getting yourself banned
completely for up to a year (until our annual bamnesty), please follow these
simple guidelines:
No profanity.
We are a family-friendly
resource, and there is no reason to resort to tasteless vulgarities or foul language, regardless of how
badly your arguments have been shredded.
No personal attacks.
If you want to call names, you know where you will be welcomed. But here, please
conduct all discussions with at least a modicum of intelligence and
respectability. Personal attacks on other posters will not be tolerated. This
goes double for personal attacks on us.
No lengthy cut and paste.
A line or two might be OK, but if you want to draw attention to
somebody else's opinion, provide a link. Be aware that if it's a link to a site that prohibits or deletes links to our articles, it may be removed. What's fair is fair. Also, do not repost links in the comments that we have already posted in the blog itself.
No off-topic ramblings.
If you think a comments thread is meant to be a free-for-all
smorgasbord for anything that comes into your head, you are in the wrong place.
Try to maintain a least a tenuous connection to the subject matter at
hand.
No abuse.
Posting the same message over and over,
especially in multiple off-topic threads, is not a good way to ingratiate
yourself. We don't countenance expressions of racism or threats of violence either. Our daily links/open thread posts are designed for civil comments on cable news topics. If you attempt to dominate or hijack a discussion by flooding the thread you will be throttled back, so please don't be a thread hog. Also, remember that the comments do not constitute your personal daily links blog. No one will ever be censured or deleted for expressing an unpopular point of view. But using the comments simply as a device to plug your favorite hobby horses with one link after another does not constitute discussion. Be reasonable and you will not run into trouble.
No juvenilia. We've had our fill of the insipid FNC
insult phrases that pervade the cybersphere, and they will not be permitted
here. These include, but are not limited to, such knee-slappers as "Faux News",
"O'Lielly", "Fixed Noise", "David Ass-Man", "Billo" and the like, as well as disguised versions such as "F!x;d N0;s;" etc.

gripe that you don't want to air in public? Try email.
