Blend-o-licious endorsements...



The Christian Civic League of Maine's Mike Hein calls Pam's House Blend:
"a leading source of radical homosexual propaganda, anti-Christian bigotry, and radical transgender advocacy."

He is "praying that Pam Spaulding will "turn away from her wicked and sinful promotion of homosexual behavior." (CCLM's web site, 10/15/07)


Ex-gay "Christian" activist James Hartline on Pam:
"I have been mocked over and over again by ungodly and unprincipled anti-christian lesbians."
(from "Six Years In Sodom: From The Journal Of James Hartline," 9/4/2006, written from the "homosexual stronghold" of Hillcrest in San Diego).

"Pam is a 'twisted lesbian sister' and an 'embittered lesbian' of the 'self-imposed gutteral experiences of the gay ghetto.'" -- 9/5/2008



Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality heartily endorses the Blend, calling Pam:

A "vicious anti-Christian lesbian activist."
(Concerned Women for America's radio show [9:15], 1/25/07)

"A nutty lesbian blogger."
(MassResistance radio show [16:25], 2/3/07)


Pam's House Blend always seems to find these sick f*cks. The area of the country she is in? The home state of her wife? I know, they are everywhere. Pam just does such a great job of bringing them out into the light.

Civility on the Blend

by: Pam Spaulding

Sun Jun 03, 2007 at 16:16:16 PM EDT


 Pam's House Blend is for civil discussion of issues. We may not all agree on political matters, but we can stay above calling each other names in threads. From the Community Rules:
This Blog is not a haven for trolls, threats, or people wishing to spam or harass...We have the right to edit, remove or deny access to content that is determined to be, in our sole discretion, unacceptable.  Please respect the rights of others to be heard and to be respected.  We welcome all viewpoints, but we do not welcome personal attacks on our users, in any form. The moderators of The Blog retain the right to ban any user from posting at The Blog for behavior deemed inappropriate.
Most folks can handle debate and discussion without losing their cool and resulting to lashing out at fellow commenters; others can't even manage to handle themselves after being warned. I have no patience for this and  I'm ready to drop the hammer on any user who persists in being uncivil or hijacking threads simply to be contrary and antagonistic. You're not likely to change any minds, and quite frankly, the responses become quite predictable and boring.

Repeated, flagrant use of cursing against fellow commenters, violent threats (even in jest) can result in you getting trapdoored. And no, we don't have to give anyone a warning, but we do out of courtesy. Everyone receives the terms of service when you sign up, so no one can claim ignorance of the house rules.


Comment threads that are mostly full of bickering simply drive readers away, no one commenter is worth keeping in the coffeehouse if they cannot behave. Your booty will be bounced onto the street.


And for the rest of you: the rule of the game is don't feed the trolls.

yay!
one of the reasons i come here is because i can find smart conversation from thinking people.  this is a great place to practice being civil and respectful of different perspectives.  it is time to set the example on emotional maturity.  if we practice with people on 'our' side we will be better when debating people that aren't.  the calmer and more rational we are the wilder and more irrational one's 'opponent' looks.  this is a strength of obama; nothing visibly ruffles his feathers.  anyway, thanks pam for the low tolerance of 'right fighters' and other such drama.  more folks will participate if they aren't intimidated by swift emotional responses of others that didn't think first.

don't feed the trolls.
lol, love it.
