Reminder to Commenters

  • Comments on this blog are moderated. If you do not see your comment right away, it is in moderation. Please do not post the same comment more than once.
  • I have a life. Sometimes I can read comments in moderation very soon after they have been posted. Sometimes, they will sit for most of the day. Adjust your expectations accordingly.
  • If you don't see your comment after several hours, it means A) I haven't moderated it yet or B) I moderated it and rejected it.
  • If you have put a hyperlink into your comment, I will hold that comment until I am at at a computer where I can visit any site and take my time reading what is at the link. Expect that you will remain in moderation for several hours if you add a hyperlink.
  • If you have said something that appears to be humorous, satirical, ironic, etc., and which could easily be misunderstood, I'm probably going to hold the comment until I can add a follow up or else not publish it. I may get the joke but I hate cleaning up after people who didn't.
  • If you are rude, TYPE IN ALL CAPS, look like you're getting into a pointless pissing match with another commenter, spam, or generally annoy me, you will be rejected.
  • Anyone who reads my comments can see that I'll approve and release stuff that I strongly disagree with as long as it is civil and thoughtful. Conversely, lack of civility or thoughtfulness, even when the commenter agrees with me, will earn a rejection.
  • I sometimes get way behind in moderating comments and I just reject the entire batch to clear things out.
