why I police my comment threads

Date: May 24, 2003 | 22 Rabi al-Awwal 1424 Hijriah
Subjects: blog, policy
James Landrith says it perfectly:

Everyone has the right to their own opinion and they also have the right to express that opinion. However, said right on their behalf does not create an obligation to subsidize such expression on my behalf. Nor do I "owe" you my time and bandwidth to debate my opinion with you if you disagree with me. Simply put, you can believe what you want and say what you want, but I don't have to let you do it on my private property (website). It's time that some of these folks posting comments in the blogosphere realized that simple fact. They're perfectly free to go pay for their own domain name and fork up monthly hosting fees. Come on folks, it's time to be grownups.
(emphasis added)

This blog is my personal property, bought and paid for with my own money. There is a comments function that you can use solely because of my generosity in setting it up. I've invited you into my online home. I ask in return that you show me the same courtesy that you would if you came into my actual home. And understand that if you are rude or if you ignore my requests, you will be asked to leave. If you find that your posts are coming out as gibberish or that you've been blocked, that's why.
