Anonymous Comments Still Possible

I've received several complaints from readers who are unable to post anonymously. It is a not my doing, but a technical issue affecting numerous blogs. Blogger is aware of the problem and is working on a fix. In the meantime, I've enabled embedded comments so that people can still post anonymously. But I caution that anonymity is no license to engage in personal attacks.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
