Attention Commenters

I have made a change to my comment section which will not allow comments to be posted until I approve them.

The reason for this is my Anonymous commenter.

I have asked on more than one occasion for you to identify yourself. You have not respected my request. Yet you feel compelled to make comments as though we are friends, which we are not becauase I have no idea who you are...or call me "Jules" which is something my real friends call me, as they know me well enough to do so, but you don't. You even asked a blogging buddy of mine, "I wonder if we could get Julie to put a close up of her girls with the "I voted" sticker on her blog." The answer to that is a resounding NO, by the way.

I've had several people email me today, offended or annoyed at the tone of the comments you've made. I am not going to upset my readers friends because of somebody who doesn't have the balls to come out of the closet and say who he really is, and stop hiding behind a shadow of anonymity where you can say anything you want and not be held accountable.

I have no problem with my readers friends posting their thoughts and views about an election, or abortion, or a religious belief. What I do have a problem with is your willingness to throw your antagonistic comments out there while masking your identity.

So for now, I will no longer allow anonymous posts on my blog. I have a couple of friends (Cassie, Cheri, etc.) who post anonymously but put their names on the comment, and those I will let through. But if there's no name, it will be deleted. "B", I know you occasionally post one as well so if nothing else, sign it with your initial of your last name so I know it's you.

And Mr. Anonymous, in answer to your question, yes I did censor Vinnie's comment. And he knows why. It's my blog and I'm allowed.
