Thanks to owning the Web server Reconstitution sits on, I can filter out keywords in URLs and keep the number of false positives way down. I have, in the past, gotten threats in the form of comments-my blog software also scans for jkeywords that might be related to my demise and it stops them from being posted. However, I have a log, and I can usually figure out where my more rabid fans are posting from-for them, I usually insert a redirect to the website of the County Sheriff in whatever locale they may be in. This usually causes them to lose their appetite for suggesting new and colorful methods for my demise in a hurry.<BR/><BR/>If you think I offended you with my little hit piece on Ann, you should see how offended some of her supporters were. I actually had to go that rare extra step and forward their well wishes to their ISPs in a couple of cases.<BR/><BR/>I don't allow anon comments anymore primarily because the threats tended to be made anonymously.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13368104.post-33937900177531614542007-03-28T21:14:00.000-04:002007-03-28T21:14:00.000-04:00I am what I eatI am what I eatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13368104.post-88674835231687908492007-03-28T20:46:00.000-04:002007-03-28T20:46:00.000-04:00Thanks for the shout-out Pho.

You address others' arguments head on. <BR/><BR/>Not all bloggers are capable of engaging in dialogue. Such bloggers enjoy standing on the soapbox that their blog provides them, but do not invite commenters to examine the blogger's utterances. Commonly, such bloggers will revert to fabricating and tearing down "straw man" arguments to sidestep the position of commenters. My reaction to such bloggers is: "Fine! Let them talk to themselves. I'm not making a habit of visiting their site."<BR/><BR/>I read your blog with regularity because your posts exhibit great concern for the community and your replies demonstrate that you handle scrutiny very well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13368104.post-43725974521789574162007-03-28T20:06:00.000-04:002007-03-28T20:06:00.000-04:00The only comment I ever deleted was one that was a...The only comment I ever deleted was one that was a bunch of gibberish featuring synonyms for human waste. It was like someone had thrown trash all over the village green -- so I cleaned it up and tossed it away!<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I do post anonymous comments at various places. Not often, but for very considered reasons. Certainly not to attack anyone, that's for sure.Village Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10299021164466991478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13368104.post-50760228020078031332007-03-28T13:20:00.000-04:002007-03-28T13:20:00.000-04:00Thanks for commenting.Thanks for commenting.Scott Piephohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05849171870929674248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13368104.post-87718335575349421422007-03-28T12:54:00.000-04:002007-03-28T12:54:00.000-04:00I would just like to leave a generic comment on yo...I would just like to leave a generic comment on your comments on comments. comments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
