To the commenter who posted his very first comment ever at this site, though I’ve seen his comments elsewhere in the Nevada blogosphere:
By now you’ve probably noticed that I did not release your comment from moderation. In fact, I sent it straight to the dustbin.
Though I assume you were attempting a tongue-in-cheek comment on this post, I was not impressed with your junior high “wit.”
Personally, I am sick to the teeth of gratuitous Palin bashing. If I write a post about her despicable politics, which are the only thing that currently warrants a mention of her in this space, feel free to comment accordingly.
Posting the kind of comments as the ones you left on my post illuminating the actual reason for the mass bird deaths in Arkansas will quickly mark you for the moderation queue, or worse, get you banned from commenting at all.
Consider yourself warned.
I urge you not to ban anyone lightly.
I was banned from the Mahablog for arguing in two posts in my least heated and least profane fashion that the US could and should have stayed out of both world wars.
So offended by this thought was the heroic defender of FDR’s sainted memory (Wilson’s sainted memory seemed to be much less a problem) that she banned me as a crank.
It was very irritating.
Particularly in view of the host of sycophant comment writers she had acquired, over the years.
On the other hand, I regularly delete comments without a qualm.
You can easily imagine what those are like.
No I do not ban lightly. In fact, I’ve only done it once, and that was the fellow who left the string of comments on my About page. Have a read and you’ll figure out why. That being said, there is one person who is permanently moderated on this blog because said person tends to take over and derail, hence I keep that one on a short leash.
