I am your King and benevolent dictator-for-life, Tom Servo!
Even though the Servo Republic will be a largely free form and lassez-faire land, there will be a few rules of the realm, if for no other reason than....because I can.
After all, we're classical liberals, not anarchists.
SILENCE!!!!
The land of Servo is a land of free minds and free markets. We think free, we speak free, and we livefree (as opposed to trying to live for free).
Since freedom of speech is highly valued, honored visitors to the realm are welcome to discuss, debate, dicker, haggle, argue, and/or cat fight over the various and sundry issues and topics that will arise here. Most of those topics, due to the nature of the King, his court and loyal subjects, are likely be framed and reframed in terms of constitutionalist/libertarian and individualistic thought and philosophies.....Deal with it Pink Boy!
SILENCE!!!!
Given that the tenets of American republican (not to be mistaken for the party) liberty and truly free market liberalism have suffered generations of neglect, derision and out-and-out slander, dialogues with the loyal subjects of Servo's realm shall, to the greatest extent practicable, be directed toward consequential aspects of the subject at hand. Comments, rebuttals, and/or rants involving personal smears or recriminations of motivations of loyal subjects of the realm will not stand.
You wanna debate, debate. You wanna troll, go visit Heddy's hollow shell of a sub-forum.
This provision is not by any means reciprocal. Citizens of the republic (you know who you are) are completely free to take jabs and ad hominem pot shots at obvious antagonists of the realm such as, but not limited to; gubmint politicians and their flacks, MSM hack pundits like al-CNN or Paul bin Krugman, and "new media" wankers and sellouts like Daily KAOS and Rush Windbaugh.
SILENCE!!!!
Lastly (for the time being), I ask that my loyal subjects be at least tolerant of, if not not courteous to, dissenters from outside the kingdom. Unqualified freedom can be unsettling to those who've defined bondage at their own hands as normalcy. Remember that no less than 1/3 of revolutionary America saw subjugation under the British crown as a good thing.
It is on that note that I now decree our sovereign republic to be open for business!
Let there be drinking in the streets, dancing in the saloons, and necking in the parlor!
