SPAM Begone

So we're getting Spammed again by less than reputable persons. To our regular readers, we have turned on comment moderation. You can leave a comment, you just won't get the instant gratification of seeing your words/name up in cyber lights right away...sorry if it's a buzz-kill.

On the flip side, I'm now letting anyone comment as I can control the nasties and hit delete with unfettered glee! Ooooohhhh...my finger is just a tingle! My attitude is simple when it comes to comments, hateful...DELETE...Spam...DELETE...difference of opinion...PUBLISH. You may or may not agree with some of the posts and opinions we have, that's cool. A robust dialog, even perhaps tense or adversarial, is part of life. We do not, however, tolerate spam or just downright spiteful, hateful, or mean-spirited comments. In my experience, the people that leave these types of comments are in need of therapy...and I'm not a therapist.

I don't expect everyone to hold hands, grow their armpit hair long, build a bonfire, don a guitar and sing cumbaya...I do expect respect. Simple.
