For the meaning of ad hominem I’m mainly going on the second meaning here.
If you’re going to attack anyone on this blog then you need to substantiate it on the basis of their positions and not by snark or abuse. Anyone abusing this policy will have their posts deleted without warning or explanation (other than ‘post deleted’) and if they ignore that then they’ll have their posting privileges to this blog removed for 30 days.
Unnecessary swearing and cursing will attract the same policy.
My intention is to try and remove the bad actors from this blog, who have dominated it of late. Whoever they may be.
Ok Frances and Frank (how similar those names are) your posting privileges are now reinstated. But try your normal nonsense and you will be on 30 day bans before you can say 'spook'.
I guess my only real concern is that you are being attacked by other Substack authors who are here, ostensibly, because their work would not, or could not, be punished elsewhere because it does not conform to the establishment narrative. Why would such authors attack another author who is here for, presumably, the same reasons? It's like authors are turning on each other, and it's hard to understand why they would do that.
