24. You didn't know about the Charles Pierce exception?

Pierce gets away with it (mostly), because he is just so damn eloquent in how he says it.

When you can write like Pierce does, and do it on another site, it will probably be linked to and quoted here and not be hidden.

But if Pierce has a userid here and wrote exactly the same thing, he'd be taking his chances like all of us.

Except that there seems to be a Lieberman exception too. So it would probably be fine.
