You Say Gadfly, I Say Troll…

Dear Ann,

Thanks for the link!  And Meade, it’s been great!

UPDATE [By SL]: As for the idea that it’s “small” to want to not want trolls distracting discussion in the comments thread of your blog, I refer to the policy of a prominent professor of constitutional law:

I’m going to allow new comments, but I will monitor actively. I will delete posts with hatred, abuse, shouting, personal attacks, repetition, and perseverating demands for apologies and retractions. You can debate and disagree, but you must try to engage with some of the issues on a rational, intelligent level.

Seems reasonable!
