Sometimes I fail. <BR/><BR/>As for comments, I publish all comments including the ones that offend me to point of insanity.

One guy was being particularly nasty (slandering Christians) so I deleted him. Then he posted again, and I deleted again. Then he started posting the same comment over and over again, literally every 5 seconds. I realized that I could have just let the few comments sit and saved a bunch of headache. The best thing to do with nasty comments is just ignore them, sometimes attention just makes them grow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23964814.post-1162311340780606942006-10-31T16:15:00.000+00:002006-10-31T16:15:00.000+00:00Sach - Iknow what you mean.

I had deleted it because it consisted of a nasty name calling remark directed towards someone else who had made a comment. I didn't want to publish that but, other than spam, I try to publish everything.Rhythmic Diasporahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184142486414379805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23964814.post-1162310563467222542006-10-31T16:02:00.000+00:002006-10-31T16:02:00.000+00:00Rules....never thought of that before...I had two ...Rules....never thought of that before...I had two other blogs before I started this one and obviously this is read more than those two ever were. <BR/><BR/>Anyway one unconscious rule I always seem to have adhered to is (which I realized after reading your entry) that I never delete a single comment. In two posts I made about my reflections on Buddhism I have been called all sorts of things but they are all left as they are. And I suppose that is what freedom of expression is although some of the expressions are disturbing. lolSachinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15344051624083362490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23964814.post-1162303961075578952006-10-31T14:12:00.000+00:002006-10-31T14:12:00.000+00:00Anon - yes - it's hard to ascertain whether I have...Anon - yes - it's hard to ascertain whether I have managed to abide by that one.
