For several years now I’ve moderated the comments… for the obvious reasons. Those that get through I mostly love. You guys often make more insightful observations than I do. I also value that this is a little community. I bring up topics and enjoy the different perspectives you all bring to them. They’re thoughtful, funny, and a joy to read. I never want to discontinue the comments feature.
But I would like to institute a new policy. For years and years I’ve asked readers not to post anonymously, and still some of do. Lately its increased. I think the least a person can do when making a public comment is to own it — attach a name. So from here on I will no longer publish anonymous moments. Won’t even read ‘em. So don’t post as anonymous but leave your name at the end of your comment. I’ll never see it. If you’re uncomfortable not being anonymous I respect that. Then my comment section is just not for you.
Also, it goes without saying, any pro-Trump, Big Lie, MAGA, Tucker Carlson/Sean Hannity/other Fox News idiots comments will be instantly deleted. Save yourself the time. It takes you several minutes to compose and submit your misinformation and it takes me literally one second to delete it. Now you may say I’m being intolerant, and I should air all points-of-view. No. Sorry. It’s not a matter of opinion. It’s that this blog respects the laws of nature, science, and the real world.
A further reminder, no attacking each other. This should be a fun sharing of ideas. Play nice, kids.
And finally, I wrote this because I found this great photo of Natalie Wood.
Thank you for your patronage, understanding, and most of all -- comments.
