Response To The Enabler Who Claimed I lied
I wanted to post this earlier but I’ve only been able to stop laughing just a few moments ago. One of the amazing things about my friend Kendrick and his intellect was his incredible sense of humor. It’s that sense of humor that has once again revealed the enabler as a ridiculously small mined person who’s solitary mindset is to protect wrongdoers while attacking anyone who disagrees with him or fails to support the status quo of those who would use their positions for their own benefit. The enabler, by failing reader comprehension fell into a deep chasm of self-righteousness that once again reveals his ignorance.
This is what the enabler of wrongdoing posted under the thread “Legislative Meeting 29 November 2010”.

This is straight from Kendrick and this blog: Attention! An Important New Change in Policy
Well folks, I listen... And the people of this blog have spoken... both in public, and via private email. And it’s unanimous... My new policy of "censoring" the phrases "anal buffoon" and "garbage dump" is disliked by everyone who has commented on it. But, as I said.... I listen.
Therefore, I am quite proud to announce a NEW change in policy, to take effect immediately: (drum roll)
From now on, I will continue to "censor" the two phrases I find so offensive, but I won’t be a "dictator" about it. From now on, if one of your posts falls "victim" to my extremely light "censorship," you can APPEAL its deletion to my just created "Board of Blog Appeals." This seven member panel will have an absolute power to override my "censorship" decisions. All you have to do is convince four out of the seven that I am wrong, and your post will be restored, lickety-split! What could be more fair? Who could ask for anything more?
If this ain’t "free speech" my new policy has to be the next best thing to it. And, honestly people, do you really NEED to talk about "anal buffoons" and "garbage dumps?" There are literally hundreds of billions of two word phrases in the English language, and I’m simply asking that you stop using TWO of them. Is that so unreasonable? And now that the actual final decision will be made fairly and impartially by the new "Board of Blog Appeals," only a whiner would complain that their "free speech rights" were being violated.
So, that’s the way it stands now. Never let my commitment to freedom of speech be questioned ever again! Thank you for your time and attention.... posted by J. Kendrick McPeters | 8:08 PM
If the enabler would only read slowly he might not get so caught up in his own traps of humiliation. This actually is what Kendrick posted on FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, 2006

Anonymous asked, So who all is on the appeal board? Wab I guess?
You bet Allen Barrett is! Who could be better? He's not only an ordained minister, but he's faced jail time in his pursuit of free speech. And for those impeccable qualifications, I've named him to be chairman of the board. I'm sure he'll do a fine job keeping me in line, just like he would've done a fine job keeping the county's spendthrifts in line, had he been elected as commissioner.
Honestly, if you can't trust WAB to guarantee your freedom of speech on this blog, who could you trust????

GOTCHA!!! A Lesson for the LUMPsters
Years ago, before he became a shill for the GOP, I used to enjoy listening to Rush Limbaugh. I especially enjoyed the times when he "illustrated absurdity by being absurd"... such as when he spent a whole day advocating "higher taxes for the poor."
Anyway, I’ve been trying to debate with the pro-zoners here, and there’s one argument that I’ve not quite found a handle on rebutting-- the "so what if we lose freedom argument." But a couple of days ago, it occurred to me that I could force the zoners to understand the value of freedom, by taking away a little bit of THEIR freedom, and seeing how much they liked it. And so, I decided to "zone" away a few of their favorite phrases and arguments. posted by J. Kendrick McPeters | 10:49 PM | 28 comments
J. Kendrick McPeters said...
Of course, I would only "zone" their arguments "lightly!" I wanted to follow the precedent of the LUMP, and I did just that:
My blog: copied rules from an earlier blog, and then didn't enforce them. The LUMP: copied rules from an earlier zoning plan, and then didn't enforce them.
My blog: rules changed on a dime, in order to favor me and my friends. The LUMP: rules of amendment ignored, in order to disfavor me and my amendment
My blog: has an "appeals board" made up entirely of my anti-zoning friends. The LUMP: has an "appeals board" made up entirely of pro-zoners
My blog: "you can trust in the process because Allen Barrett is a devout man" The LUMP: "you can trust in the process because Roger Reedy is a devout man"
My blog: "freedom of speech is only slightly abridged, so quit your whining" The LUMP: "property rights are only slightly abridged, so quit your whining"
I expected a lot of bellyaching, and I got it. Frankly, I had hoped for even more negative reaction, but I may have made two tactical mistakes-- first, in giving pseudo-plausible justifications for my "new policies," and second, in bringing up my glaucoma problem. Had I simply refused to defend the new policies rationally, I probably could've stirred up more indignant anger.
Well, the experiment is over. The nonexistent "appeal board" is dissolved, and full free speech is returned to the forum. I hope you pro-zoners out there learned something of a lesson. The loss of property rights is far more significant, under the LUMP, than the last couple of day's loss of free speech rights has been on this blog. And you can bet that my "appeals board" -- not being a politically selected body -- would behave more honorably than the LUMP's.
If you are a pro-zoner that can think in abstractions, then perhaps you will realize that the very idea of taking away your God-given rights, and then having a bunch of politically appointed hacks in charge of whether you get them back, or not, is, by it's very nature, outrageous and intolerable. Yet that is the essence of the zoning plan you are so anxious to impose at bayonet point, on your neighbor.
Think about how unhappy you were to see selective enforcement of the blog rules, and the blatant favoritism of the blogmaster. And then multiply that by a hundred, to see how you'd feel if someone told you how you could use the land you "own" and pay taxes on.
Then try to realize that there are other ways, besides zoning, to achieve the goals of protection from nuisances that is your goal. And remember that I pledge now, as I have before, to offer unlimited assistance in developing a nuisance protection plan, that will satisfy both sides of this divisive issue. Working together, we can fix this problem once and for all, and make Giles County a much better place to live in. Isn't it at least worth trying??? Saturday, August 12, 2006 11:02:00 PM

It was a great experiment that revealed the reality of flaws in the good intentions of out of touch politicians and uninformed citizens. I only regret that no appeals were brought before the "censorship appeals board" so we "couldn't" have a meeting to do nothing about the situation. Allen Barrett
So the fact is I didn’t lie about Kendrick censoring something I wrote on this blog it was a matter of “Dude you been had”.
