To the anonymous and obnoxious, you're not welcome here

After Angelo blocked anonymous comments on his blog after endless trolls appeared there, one of those wingnuts registered as Silly Socrates and then presumably Pragmatic Plato. I'm guessing there is only one person interested in Greek Philosophy, alliteration and a pretty empty blog. He is posting comments distorting my positions to the point of absurdity. If you care about what I think, read this blog, not this clown. His comments are too illiterate and ridiculous to post or waste my time debating, so I trashed them and will continue to do so. I think Boni learned that lesson last week. Brad is still not busy enough to learn. I'm not giving these people a forum here, so if your purpose is to annoy and be a putz, post your thoughts on your own blog. I've had enough of anonymous blowhards. If you want to make a sincere, honest, serious comment under a pseudonym, go ahead. I've probably had well over 2,000 comments on my blog, and I've deleted three in history, all because they were designed to be obnoxious toward me personally. Two were this week, and all three were anonymous. It's spillover from what is happening at Middle Road. Say what you want about me, but you're not doing it here.

The purpose of this guy, like most of the anonymous crowd, is not debate but simply to aggravate, so I'm not arguing with these people or providing them a forum for their games. I hope and request no one defends me against this guy. Let them all build their own audience, which requires more effort. None of the anonymous blogs have had much success other than Middle Road, and we know who they are, so it's not all that anonymous. For those who cry censorship, let me remind what that word means: The Government restricting what you say. I'm not the government, I'm not required to give people a platform, and you are completely free to say what you want in your own blog. I'm protecting my blog, which is my property, from becoming the circus I see in other places.

And for anyone who still thinks it's ok to do the anonymous thing, this dickless turd is out there trashing my name while hiding in the bushes like a coward. That's why the whole anonymous thing is unfair. He gets to trash my name and hide in the weeds like the vermin he is. And memo to said turd, nothing stays secret long in a place this small.

No respectable newspaper in the world publishes anonymous letters to the editor, and I've already laid out the rules here on this topic. If absurd debates with anonymous sources attacking real bloggers are your thing, go to Middle Road. It won't be happening here.
