Not big news, just a little blog business. My comment policy has pretty much always been “Say what you want, I’m allowed to delete it or quote it or do whatever I want with it if I feel like it.” And it still is. If you ever feel uncomfortable about a comment, you can always ask me to delete it and I probably will.
Anonymous comments are fine, of course, but if you’re posting under two names on my blog, I may edit them to all include your most well-known alias and include a link to your blog. I can tell if it’s you because I get two commenters who have the same IP address over and over again, I catch on. If you want to say something critical, do it under your real name. If you think it’ll make you look bad you should be thinking of Thumper’s mom. 
Oh, and sometimes comments are held for moderation for whatever reason, so if it disappears I probably have it, but if you post it again I’ll sort it out by deleting a duplicate so no worries there either. When I approve it depends on how soon I’ll be online. It can be momentarily or take 8 hours. I’ve tried to make the moderation rules loose enough without letting spam through…it’s a tough balance.
Just a little blog maintenance. Happy Friday everyone!

i agree with mine as well. I won’t kill negative comments but personal attacks or cyber-bullying would be dumped.

it hasn’t happened on my site yet, but i’m sometimes taken aback at what i read on other blogs. your policy seems more than fair enough. i don’t get why people would want to blog bully in the first place…
