Comment Rules

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.

  1. No profanity.
  2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism.

That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.

    More on RAnd:

    I don’t see her as conservative but a good many of  her observations are out there, and I don’t like what I see. As far as her celebration of superman, I’ve no problem with that. We all celebrate supermen.

    Thank you Robert:

    I’ve read most of these. Not Bleak House or Moby Dick. And nothing by Dos Passos, Conrad or Proust, although my wife read Time Lost…and was engrossed. I might add that I thought Atlas shrugged clumsy and overwritten, but right on the money, at least when I look around.

    Robert:

    Are there American novels of the 19th and 20th centuries that have been significant in forming you creatively and philosphically, not that the two can be separated, but…

    Re a prior post about logging in. Required today, though I did the same yesterday. Seems convoluted.
