I also don't mind pot stirrers. But when it's done anonymously it actually takes away from their comment and undermines their credibility. <BR/><BR/>I think on a blog of this nature it is especially important to stand by your comments and engage in forthright debate. It's easy to put out opinions and challenges anonymously, but it makes people be more responsible with their words when they have to attach their name.<BR/><BR/>We'll see how it goes.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09828961897228801271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3788206431174763.post-23614147205300965192008-06-25T08:59:00.000-04:002008-06-25T08:59:00.000-04:00I am torn on this post.

Hey, you never know about the anonymous posts, they may be from either polical camps trying to spark up debates. I am sure they have people combing the blogs doing this. Since you oversee the blog, you havr the right to take the comment off. I guess that is a way of stopping it but I am not sure about not using anonymous. And I always use my name. Just my opinion.happyathomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18407717538535660812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3788206431174763.post-21406360698329161712008-06-24T20:34:00.000-04:002008-06-24T20:34:00.000-04:00Natalie -- I think it's only a matter of common co...Natalie -- I think it's only a matter of common courtesy to leave a name and url if possible. The only valid exception that I can think of is if you want to share sensitive information about a private person you want to protect (and then you have to really consider if that's appropriate to do; I can think of some instances when it might be, but not really for a political blog).Jane of Seagull Fountainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14842786356309158400noreply@blogger.com
