New commenting policy!

It's new! It's blue! But it ain't bubble gum!

This blog has a brand bippus-bustin' new policy on commenting. Now - as in the days of old - anybody can post even if they don't have a Google or OpenID account. Isn't that magnificent?! But don't fret if your remarks don't show up right away - because I've enabled moderation of comments.

This is designed to cut back on the abuse that's plagued the comment feature lately.

Our other main commenting rules remain the same. Anybody caught impersonating or harassing other users will be banned for life from posting. This has been the rule since I started this blog 4 years ago. I know a few people will scream "free speech!" even though they've never lifted a finger to oppose actual free speech violations like using censorware on library web terminals. But to them I say this: Tough toilets.

If a person can't act right, that's not my problem. I have to wonder what life must be like for these individuals in the offline world. Do they act this way in person? Obviously, they're living off their rich daddies, because not too many workplaces would tolerate their behavior. That is, unless they're from somewhere like some of the suburbs in my county where social pathology like that is normalized. Mad Dog Bush gave a green light to these freaks when he pardoned the traitors involved in the Iran-Contra scandal, for that showed that actions didn't have consequences.

Enjoy this blog, folks, and remember that this is the blog that fights for you - the common people.
