I dunno, it’s kinda nifty that soren is so much more concerned about proper grammar and syntax than he is about gay marriage in Iowa.

Hope?

Yes, I agree. I think given that the people producing this blog have full time jobs what they’ve produced here is a virtual miracle.

As far as I’m concerned, any blog that writes “couldn’t care less” instead of “could care less” is okay in my book, regardless of what minor typos there might otherwise be.

I know firsthand how hard it is to blog around full-time responsibilities and so really, really appreciate not only your efforts but your consistently valuable results.

I think Soren456 is one of those people who thinks it makes him look good to put others down and his ego needs that kind of stroking so he can feel good about himself.

No need to diminish one issue to make another seem bigger. Puppy mills are legitimately atrocious, and banning them would be a fine priority for any legislature.

Does anyone get the sense that soren456 still hasn’t figured out that this is an unpaid project by people (an engineer and an accountant) who have full time jobs and do this in their spare time?

I guess we should be complemented that we are confused with the blogsites that have full time staff, paid writers and editors, and deadlines.

Whatever.

Writers, editors and readers who can’t be criticized are impressive people, indeed.

I’ll stand with what I said.

Confused syntax, slapdash and indifference don’t make for a quality blog, and do nothing to reinforce its credibility.

Writers and editors take care routinely to check their work–and correct their errors–on the tightest deadlines, and in challenging circumstances.

To point this out is hardly ingratitude, nor is it rudeness, nor does it deserve name-calling.

I’m happy to see the Iowa legislature pass on denying rights, and I’m a hetero generally voting republican (really a libertarian, but…). Talking to my fellow iowans (been one for 50 years), only the rabid people who think they don’t know any gay people worry about this issue. Anyway, please come to Davenport and get married! We have gorgeous old neighborhoods, a tolerant citizenry (mostly – always a few turds), and intelligent workforce, close (enough) to Chicago for the weekends… come on over!

Aya, if you want to move somewhere with a more progressive view on same sex equality, come to Canada.
