I hope they’ve included a preview mode in the soon-to-be-released new version of WordPress. I agree, it would be helpful.

I mean, of couse, tags.

You need a preview button on your comments.

I guess I should have wrapped the comment in … tags.

Remember Martin Niemoeller, Lickmuffin. First, they came for the hippies and drug users and I said nothing, for I was a conservative . . .

Criminalizing everyday life and opening the door to arbitrary punishment. What’s not to like?

At least Doctorow seems to get it. The items noted above are precisely why this is being pursued.

Oh, and the whole bit about disconnecting large numbers of people and their families from political discourse: that’s a huge plus, too.
