You're absolutely right, Donald. You are my messiah. You have blinded me with your light. Your wisdom is infinite.

First of all, Maggie does not cause me to lose control or become filled with rage. I'm not angry with her. I'm not angry at all.

I have asked Maggie, on a number of occasions, to refrain from viewing and posting in my weblog. She has replied that she will not change her viewing habits to suit my desires. Okay, that's fine. But she surely does not need to post here. If she will not "make it so", then I will. Plain and simple. This isn't "Dave's Forum For Everyone Else To Discuss Anything They Want". This is "dhamsaic's weblog". As I've explained before, it's for me. Not you. Not Maggie. Not Tony. Not for anyone else. Me. It's a place for me to get my thoughts out. I allow responses because many times they're amusing or thoughtful or constructive criticism. When comments are designed to provoke, they have no business being here.

You very obviously do not understand what is going on, so I will again attempt to explain it. I am not censoring anyone. I don't have that power. I am the security guard who removes the KKK member in Wal*Mart that's shouting "I HATE NIGGERS!" at the top of his lungs. Is that oppressing free speech?

You sound like a child, Donald. You are a fifteen year old boy convinced that he knows what is right and what is wrong for everyone else. Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

In the mean time, it's you who comes off sounding like a raving nutjob. No post is going to incite me to further rage - a rather comical notion, since I'm not in the least bit enraged right now (nor have I been). I do, however, wonder what effect this post is going to have on you. Are you going to write a mature response, or are you going to call names again?
In case you missed it the first time around.

Since that covers most of your post, I'll respond to the other parts.

News flash! dhamsaic decides what goes into his weblog!

Don't like it, don't read it. You'll be missed. Really. No, really. I'm being totally serious. No, I am, I swear. Yes, for real.

I disagree. Her posts aren't designed to provoke a response at all. It's just that you can't maintain control of yourself when you read them.
I addressed the comical "control" notion above - read it over again.

Many of her posts <b>are</b> designed to provoke a response. Your ignorance or inability to remember them is not <b>my</b> fault. I can <b>easily</b> and <b>within 10 minutes</b> find you at least 5 posts of hers where she does not offer constructive criticism but, directly or indirectly, calls other Cellarites names. <b>Easily</b>. How about you go re-read some of her posts to jaguar, sycamore and myself before making such absurd claims?

But then, I realized that my response was just an emotional one. It wasn't logical at all.
This is where you and I differ; my response is not emotional. It is based upon a fleshed-out line of thought (discussed with and agreed upon with a number of Cellarites) that many of her posts are inappropriate in another person's weblog and that the best way to discourage her from posting them is to delete them. I'm not angry with Maggie. I simply want her to stop posting in my weblog. You read too much into things. Sometimes it really <b>is</b> that simple.
