I enjoy the blog and most of the comments. Better to suffer the fools and learn about what makes some people tick (and sometime I wonder if some o them aren't ticking bombs), than to loose the sometimes valuable input. <br /><br />If I were you, I'd probably delete a few more (the personal attacks on Kathy Rose a while back, for example), but I realize you also have btter things to do. <br /><br />And thanks once again for the great blog filled with sunrises, journalism, and slices of life.watchdognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-53015077452916023432010-04-01T16:36:12.052-10:002010-04-01T16:36:12.052-10:00"As any student of Sociology 101 can tell you..."As any student of Sociology 101 can tell you, when people don't have to account for what they say or do, they will often say and do things that would shock their better selves."<br /><br />What a cynical view of humanity! I assume that's why sociology is a soft science. Some people believe-it-or-not have integrated personalities and act consistently across multiple domains. Psychiatry calls this "healthy". If you find yourself acting differently because of anonymity you may be suffering a mental disorder. Seek professional help as your self-help blogging has become part of the problem.<br /><br />Doc-in-a-BoxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-24147142726508554812010-04-01T15:29:10.831-10:002010-04-01T15:29:10.831-10:00dwps - "garden island online commments sectio...dwps - "garden island online commments section works pretty well. they just use monikers, or whatever the right word is, to ID the commenter (and the habitually ridiculous are then blasted)"<br /><br />Or just create another "moniker" to engage in further sock-puppetry!<br /><br />FYI - TGI online identity is pseudonymous not anonymous. The "moniker" is a username but TGI knows who those people are (or at least the IP address of the computer being used to post the message). This IP (among other info) is logged as soon as the user creates a username and password. If necessary TGI can therefore ban (censor) users, and/or take other adverse actions against them (notify proper authorities, etc.) I am not saying that TGI does this, just that they can, and if they are not logging such information why require people to create a username and password?<br /><br />Joan does not know the anons IP address to ban them. Google the owner of Blogger certainly does knows (or can find out) but Google does not make such info available (without a court order) and not at all to individuals with Blogger accounts like Joan. <br /><br />I consider this useful anon info but don't need any thanks so jsut call me <b>Ca$H</b>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-27576464705043322322010-04-01T13:56:47.880-10:002010-04-01T13:56:47.880-10:00garden island online commments section works prett...garden island online commments section works pretty well. they just use monikers, or whatever the right word is, to ID the commenter (and the habitually ridiculous are then blasted) <br /><br /><br />dwpsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-5148458315295921402010-04-01T13:50:15.925-10:002010-04-01T13:50:15.925-10:00I enjoy all the posts...opinions are like a...hole...I enjoy all the posts...opinions are like a...holes...everyone has one.Lighten-up ...let the opinions stand....RogerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-43483895013684227142010-04-01T10:37:05.794-10:002010-04-01T10:37:05.794-10:00Joan,

Capture all the crap into a bucket file stored by blog title and every now and then MyCensorLite just re-posts as a blog called "My Crap Bucket". That way readers read intelligent discussions sans crap, but can be entertained by reading the My Crap Bucket post as well. MyCensorLite does not really censor it just categorizes posts by what you think of the content and all at the touch of a button(s).Ed Collhttp://kauai.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-77029120252445769932010-04-01T09:13:28.512-10:002010-04-01T09:13:28.512-10:00You have a valuable Blog IMO.
