I hope that you have enjoyed my website. Please feel free to sign my guestbook. I wish I did not have to state a policy about my guesbook on here. However, since I have had problems in the past, it is necessary. Unfortunately, I have had to make the decision to not allow guestbook signatures to display until they are approved by me. I will not approve signatures under the following conditions. Spam will not be permitted. A new person will be allowed one "nastygram," i.e. a post with nothing but vitriol. However, if you continue to post on my guestbook after that, it will be deleted. This is a guestbook not a discussion forum. If I wanted a discussion forum, I would put one up. Trolling will not be permitted. If you are someone who has some kind of grudge against me and leave a vulgar post, it will be deleted. I will delete any signatures at my discretion that do not leave a valid email address. You do not have the right to be an anonymous coward on my website. (I know Iranians living under brutal dictatorship who want to hide their identity and still leave valid yahoo and hotmail addresses. It is not that difficult or risky). I will delete any signature that is done in extremely poor taste (racist slurs, crude comments, ad hominem attacks, etc). Hopefully, this will keep my guestbook as a classy place. My guestbook policy is not an infringement on "free speech." You have the right to say whatever you want about me or my website, but not the right to do it on on here, i.e. you have the right to speech but not to a forum being provided to you. I have every right in the world to maintain standards on my own website. In fact, since I believe an infringement on free speech is so serious, if you really think this is an infringement on free speech, do not just complain: I want you to file a law suit. A violation of free speech is the cornerstone of dictatorship, and if you see it happening around you, you should fight it until your death. To sit idly by while this grotesque invasion of free thought went on would make you a coward. (I say this solely to let it sink in how absurd it is to accuse me of violating free speech for deleting garbage on my own website). My policy is fair, and embraces both people who love me or hate me but does not allow people who are just plain vulgar. With that said, thank you to anyone who has ever given a note of support to me and also to those who disagree, but do so by actually giving logical and coherent reasons as to why.
