Just the FAQs

"Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do!"

One would expect readers to be full of questions about what's going on here, and what it has to do with ejectejecteject.com. This post attempts to address those questions. As other questions come along, this post will be edited to address them as well.


"In the beginning was the Word"

The E!3 community exists due to the creative talents of Bill Whittle. His essays have resonated strongly with those who value the principles at the heart of Western Civilization, including Freedom, Reason, and Honor. The response has been nothing short of overwhelming. So he asked some of the core members of the E!3 community to create a place separate from the essays themselves, wherein we can discuss them, as well as other items in the news. The idea is to free him to concentrate on writing more great essays, so he won't feel the need to write more frequently, but in the process give up on his high standards of quality.

We won't limit ourselves to talking about Bill's essays; we'll find other things to talk about too. But whenever there's a new essay on ejectejecteject.com, you'll see a link to it here.


"Does anybody really know what time it is?"

You may wonder at the time stamps on posts here. You may wonder where "here" is. Although the vast majority of us are in the US at any given time, the administrators of the site have chosen to use GMT for all times and dates. That means the day begins 5 hours earlier here than in the MainScream Media centers of New York City and Washington, DC (4 in the summer).

We reserve the right to delete comments, but the failure to delete any particular comment should not be interpreted as an endorsement thereof.

In general, we expect comments to be relevant to the story, or to a prior comment that is relevant; and we expect some minimal level of civility. Defining that line is inherently subjective, so try to stay clear of insulting remarks. If you respond to a comment that is later deleted, we may take your response with it. Deleting your comment isn't a personal knock on you, so don't take it as such.

We allow a variety of ways for commenters to identify themselves; those who choose not to do so should take extra care. Absent any prior context in which they may be understood, ironic comments may be misinterpreted. Once you've earned a reputation for contributing to a conversation, we are likely to be more tolerant in those gray areas, as we'll understand where you're coming from.
