Lately, several attempts to leave comments on various posts on this blog have had to be deleted. A ding-dong from India has been commenting using a fictitious American-sounding name, leaving compliments on certain posts (with bad grammar and incorrect English) with an embedded link to a cheap leather goods website. Someone else from the Philippines attempted to comment on a post and had a link to a motorcycle vendor in Australia. Someone else from Pakistan has been active, leaving comments with links to cheap Pakistani leather vendors. A while ago, an operator of a gay resort in Mexico also attempted to leave a comment. The comment was good, but the link back to the resort was not.<\/p>\n

Once again, I remind readers that I welcome comments, but I have a firm blog comment policy: 1) you have to use a name (screen name is okay) and 2) you can NOT embed links to commercial websites. That link could be within a comment or I have also found them in the “screen name” of the person leaving a comment. <\/p>\n

When you go to my comment area for any post on this blog, you will see this:<\/p>\n

All comments are reviewed prior to posting. If you do not have a Google ID or Blogger ID, you may use the Anonymous ID option, however, you must type your name with your comment. Comments without a way to know who wrote it may be rejected or deleted. Comments with embedded links to commercial websites WILL BE DELETED–NO EXCEPTIONS!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t know how much clearer I can state it. Please comment, but please do not attempt to use this blog to promote commercial websites. <\/p>\n

All comments are held in moderation for me to review prior to posting. I will approve comments that add to a post’s content or share opinions about it, even if opinions are different or contrary, but not rude, racist, homophobic, or malicious. I delete posts that violate my blog policy. As it says above, “no exceptions.”<\/p>\n

Life is short: follow the rules.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
