Do your comments say awaiting moderation or do they vanish as the page refreshes? The latter has been happening to me so often lately that I copy the comment before I post it, just in case. I change the IP, try again, and it usually posts.

Edit: After multiple tries, I had to leave, clear my cache, change the IP, and try again. What a pain. It didn’t used to be this bad. I assume it’s to fight spam. I used the same email and user name every time.

Yup. Immediately posted and visible. So that means Dan has blocked my username after literally a full decade of using it while following him and his sites. Not good, Dan. I must have been one of your most vanilla and worthy visitors all these years, yet routinely blocked and/or modded since this whole issue began ramping up a couple of years ago.

I’m done for a while. Going to take a long sabbatical for a few months and reconsider whether TTAG and SNW are worth the bother anymore. Tout the 2A, but squash the 1A. Got it.

I’m wondering where all mine on this article/page have gone. Blocked? Still in mod purgatory after several hours? Why?

I’m going to see if a slightly changed username and different email address will let this slip by the site’s goblins. But even so, I think I might finally be done with this site, as well as Dan’s previous one, which went right off a cliff with the new owners.

Under my pillow?

No need, when all I have to do is reach under my nightshirt… 🙂

Speaking of “heat of the moment”, what if in the heat of that other moment the gun/magazine is knocked from under the pillow to who knows where and later it is needed for protection……the conclusion should be self explanatory.

I know it’s hard for some people to understand. But America and Europe are different countries. In Europe’s case many different countries. Many different cultures. Surprising, isn’t it?

In England the courts just decided you had to be born a woman to be a woman. In Germany insulting a pol will get you jailed.

So far, of the countries I’ve been to I prefer the US.
