My Tutor aims to liberate aficiandi of the premier kitchen hygiene implement, the Dishmatique, from the stifling restraints of Harvard Blog censorship. Freedom of commercial speech, even in the digital domain of crimson ivy!
Except, I didn’t think that I “shamelessly flogged” the Dishmatique (I’d state that I didn’t flog it at all except that I ’never presume to correct the Tutor when it comes to flogging). I have rhapsodized, endorsed, lauded, displayed, and acclaimed this paragon of washbasin cleanliness. But that seems defensible under the “encourged to review products” clause of the rule. (And one can hardly imagine Dave Winer submitting to constraints on his liberty to speak his mind about commercial products!)
And much as I may disagree with Jonathon Delacour about the politics and ethics of warfare, I cannot stand silently by when he’s accused of being a half-wit! If that epithet be fairly applied to him, then I should emphatically insist that “Half a wit is better than one.”
Now, would someone at the Dishmatique’s manufacturer Easy-Do please pick up the clue phone and take steps to remedy that dreadfully appalling webpage design?
