Commenting

Just a quick post about commenting. Unfortunately there has been an issue with commenting on this blog. My most recent post ("Andre Bauer: Man of Mystery") has illicited a lot of comments. However, many of these comments have pretty much been spam comments; the same person has been commenting verbatim on this and other threads on the internet. This is a) annoying as hell to me as I have to sift through the verbal diarrhea to discern which comments are legit and b) damaging to your argument. As "notverybright" alluded to, no one is going to listen to you if you just make baseless comments that are not really related to the thread you commented in. I also have a hunch that many of the "legit" comments on the post about Bauer are coming from the same person. For this reason I have disabled anonymous comments and now the only way you can comment is if you sign in with your Google account or Blogger account. I did not want to do this, but some people are just immature and cannot handle productive conversation. I do want to thank everyone who has participated on this blog in a meaningful way and hope that you continue to do so in the future. I'm less than pleased that I had to do this, but I guess shit happens. Peace.
