site maintainance

Somebody (Patrick? Jon?) really needs to get their act together and start policing spam.  This place is turning into Usenet and it is a very bad thing. 

On the one hand, we have places like RedState where the obnoxious and intellectually insecure Erik Erickson bans anyone who disagrees with him on minor points of what he considers to be conservative orthodoxy (ok, that was a gratuitous dig, but it's true).  On the other hand, we have open forums like this one, in which we trade putting up with the occasional troll for the freedom to express and debate real policy and strategy differences.

So let's get a hold of it.  If anti-spam moderators need to be created, so be it.  My patience with The Next Right is wearing thin.
