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.

Pam's House Blend's Terms of Service/Community Guidelines reboot

by: Pam Spaulding

Mon Jul 13, 2009 at 08:00:00 AM EDT

As promised, today we are launching the new Terms and Conditions/Terms of Service for Pam's House Blend. With the discussions generated by free speech comment week ranging from "we love the lack of moderation" to "I want strong moderation back, pronto," there's no earthly way to satisfy everyone.

The blog was launched as a personal online journal in July 2004, with no expectation that anyone would find it, let alone comment on it. PHB had about 300 daily readers for about a year. Then it steadily grew on Blogger, moved to the Soapblox community form in 2007 (that allowed for user diaries), and the community grew from 5 registered users to over 8300 today. Over that period of time the traffic and number of contributors and active commenters also grew. With that came the numerous, trolls, sockpuppets and various bomb-throwers that  attempt to derail the mostly pleasant conversation and debate you would expect to have at your local coffeehouse. 

The dilemma I faced (along with the Baristas) was how to make moderation less onerous -- since none of us are chained to our computers to read through every thread and do whack-a-mole every day and still focus on content. In the new TOS, the community of regular Blenders take a more active role in keeping the coffeehouse safe and still a haven for vigorous debate by 1) setting an example, the high bar for discourse in the comments, and 2) bring to moderators' attention the commenters who fail to adhere to the TOS that everyone receives and has agreed to when signing up for an account.

The complete TOS can be found here. What you will read below the fold pertains to the general operating policies and community guidelines. It outlines violations of the TOS and how they are handled by moderators -- and readers.
