Briefly, as this issue has arisen, I will clarify as I expect that if one asks, ten wonder.<\/p>\n
I am not in the habit of censoring commentary and certainly not because of the commenter’s political\/religious\/methodological\/disciplinary\/etc. POV or because they criticize my posts.\u00a0Dissenting views are welcome here.\u00a0That being said, I prefer that commenters try to maintain the same sort of civility and assumption of goodwill they would if they were talking with another person with whom they disagreed across a table.\u00a0In my years of blogging, I have only deleted spam, a couple of guys who were repeatedly blogwhoring off-topic and one anonymous comment that I considered to be libelous as well as outrageously unfair.<\/p>\n
In terms of functionality, if you put in a lot of links ( or goof up your homemade HTML coding), your comment will automatically be held for moderation by the spam filter. I will typically approve it, \u00a0ASAP, usually within a few hours. Otherwise, your comment should appear on the site immediately. I’m sorry for the delay but I’m not keen on spam messsages appearing in the sidebar, given that they usually involve enlarging one’s manhood with secret herbal formulas\u00a0or winning the Nigerian lottery. Sort of detracts from the “new look” I’m going for here. ;o)<\/p>\n
