This comment was posted on my Voting No page earlier today:
umm, i know my comment will be deleted, but here is the point, you are only allowing one argument, is this for posterities sake??? to make yourself feel good??? bias is one thing, but to blatently say i will delete your comment for disagreeing is down right sad, make a vote yes column and you gain some respect, keep up this crap, and you lose it, thank you for your time

When I put this page up back in August, I announced what the page was for: a place for folks who were voting NO to declare such. At the top of the page is a warning that voting yes comments would be deleted.
To the anon poster (who lacks the cojones to use his/her name but attacks me) and all of the others: I have given ample opportunity on this blog for people to talk about the so-called Marriage Amendment, both pro and con. I have not deleted a single comment from a person voting yes posted elsewhere on this blog. I post almost daily on the amendment.
But my Voting NO page is there for a reason, one which should be obvious to everyone: I am an opponent of the amendment and the page is designed to ID others who feel similarly. If you have ever worked a campaign (and you, anon, and others who challenge my Voting NO page obviously have not), then you would understand voter IDs. When people canvass on behalf of a candidate, it is to ID voters that support that candidate. Do you think they keep track of those supporting the opponent? No, they don’t.
What you are asking – that I provide space for those supporting the amendment – is ludicrous. Should the Allen website provide space for Webb? Should the Drake website provide space for Kellam? Does any candidate provide space for the opponent to make their case? Absolutely not.
Any number of blogs out here could have started a vote yes page. Lord knows there are enough blogs out there who do support the amendment. The fact that none of them chose to do so is their problem, not mine.

Yes, Phantom, I’d be afraid of attaching my real name to that, too. Does your mother know what a failure she was in raising you?
(Vivian, delete my comment when you delete the tripe above. Gracias.)
Mb,
Oh, yes when in doubt, blame the mother. *note sarcasm*
