Most of the time, people are pretty good about not posting hateful things. They save that for Topix. :) I generally get very few comments on my blog, and I have only deleted one or two.

However, I've always felt that since it's my blog, I could delete any comment I chose. I don't expect it will happen much, but if a comment does more harm than good, it's much easier to delete it than to wage war in the comments.

Strange but true. I certainly advocate the appropriate use of moderation. It doesn't mean you reject criticism or opposing viewpoints; it just means that you are in control. If someone doesn't like it, as JF notes there are lots of places where freaks have free reign.

As long as someone isn't calling me names, I'll post what they say even if it is aggressive or unflattering. I think of my blog as more of a conversation than my ‘house’.

To me, it's like if you are hosting a party at your house and one of the guests gets drunk and starts annoying and insulting everyone. What do you do, kick them out! There's nothing wrong with respectful debate though. I’ve deleted a few obnoxious and insulting ones.

But I don't limit it to shutting out people who leave a "ur a moran" message. It is possible to be nasty and insulting without ever uttering a swear word or calling someone a name, and when someone pulls that crap with me, they get shut out too. I've been accused of censorship when I've done that (not on my present blogs, but a long time ago) and I just laughed. With all the free blog software out there and me not being Congress, I'm hardly censoring anyone. Oh, I agree. But I don’t limit it to shutting out people who leave a “ur a moran” message.

Especially love it when my commentators argue with each other! You almost become a forum then. I have deleted only one comment - other than out and out spam. The commentator suggested that another commit suicide. Sorry -not in my house! I allow all comments unless they are really destructive.

I welcome comments that take issue with something I've said, but not the ones that are a string of unrelated links and words.
