No More Personal Attacks In Comments

12:39 pm EST October 24th, 2010 | Site Stuff | 51 Comments

Disagree with each other until the cows come home, but I’m done with hosting personal attacks in comments. It’s coming more from wingnut commenters than liberals, but you can all give it pretty good. Enough. There’s a one-strike, no appeal policy now in place.

FYI: Racists Not Welcome

I allow a lot of stuff in the comments, maybe too much, but in addition to insults I don’t need to tolerate, I will not – repeat – will not print any sort of justification of racism. Specifically, recent posts that I’ve had to send to the circular file from white power types.

As long-time readers know: this is not a freaking democracy.

That is all.

Comments Unthreaded

Because you asked for it. The one time we’re doing anything remotely democratic around here.

How Do You Like These Threads?

8:47 pm EST June 26th, 2010 | Site Stuff | 13 Comments

A question for those of you who are regular (chronic) commenters – what do you prefer: flat comment threads or threaded comment threads. Right now they are threaded, so you can reply directly to comments. Sometimes this works out ok, but other times the indenting, etc. can get wonky. I could flip things back to how they used to be – one big dump of comments. I don’t have a preference either way, but you guys use the comments more than I so let me now… in the comments to this post.

Comment Fixage

Comments should be back to how they used to be, lost a few comments in the transition back, but it shouldn’t be the end of the world. Log in/register is in the right hand column.

Feel free to bitch and moan here. Re: comments, I’m trying out Echo for now, so you can log in to post comments via Twitter, Facebook, Google, or just start posting. If you have an existing Gravatar avatar just click on the empty face and put your email in to get it back.
