I don't get what the deal is with comment moderation. Or disabling comments altogether. Seriously... comments are probably the only reason people blog... they blog because they know someone out there is reading it... there are some people you want to read your blog.. and some people you don't. But you can't want ANYBODY to read your blog? What's the point then... ever been on a blog with a ton of posts... but not a single comment.. don't you feel a little sorry for them?
But yeah... blog security... the word verification I can understand... nobody wants their blog comments to be filled up with online casino ads... but wht the whole comment moderation thing...
I don't know... there's probably a perfectly sensible reason... but I don't understand it...
I actually have a problem with the term "moderation"... that's the problem... authority, censorship, intellectual policing... somehow it really upsets me.... the fact that someone else controls how I express myself... I am responsible person... I won't say anything THAT objectionable... but either way.. nobody else should have the right to control that.
Used to be on this online community once... the "moderator" was this neo-fascist pig... big on moderation.... like the guys who tried to ban a play called the "sextet" because it sounded lewd. That kind of moderation... RSS type... man he got my goose! Very few people have managed to irritate me as much as he has... and the emails that we sent back and forth...
I wonder what he is up to these days? Hopefully drowned in a pool of his own vomit.
yeah.. pretty sure he did...
think it was in the papers..
