How To Use A Dog Whistle

This is a dog whistle.

It comes in handy when you're pretending to run a respectable blogsite, but in fact get much of your material from wingnuts like Trevor Loudon.

If you're going to use it properly, here are some tips:
  • never express outrage over the behaviour you wish to draw your followers' attention towards. Use words like "interesting". The pack will do the rest
  • if called by someone for your whistling, make sure you take umbrage at the allegation. "Who me? I would never do such a thing!"
  • it helps not to have a moderation policy. That way people can say what they like, and you can just shrug your shoulders and say "that's freedom of speech for you!"
 Happy whistling!

I welcome comments, but I ask commenters to follow a few simple rules:

1. I delete anonymous comments. Please use either a name or moniker. I am not asking anyone to reveal their secret identity. Just don't call yourself "Anonymous".
2. I am thick-skinned, thanks to years of serving my reptilian overlords, but I won't tolerate abusive comments. Feel free to criticise the substance of what I have written, provided your criticism is intelligent and constructive. Don't abuse me or other commenters.
3. Please don't defame people.
