Anonymous: Democracy is not at issue here. This is a blog, not a unit of government.
I reserve the right to remove comments for the same reason radio stations reserve the right to bleep their callers.
While I enjoy the conversation with readers, I have no problem removing comments along the lines of "[Person] is a [body part]."
