Comments

Anyone can comment here -- and disagreements are fine. If you are a troll, however, your posts will be deleted. This is my blog, not a public forum. Anything does not go. Calling me an asshole in all CAPS most certainly does not go.

Deleting meritless posts does not mean I'm running my blog -- as one anonymous idiot who had his comments zapped claimed -- "like Hitler ran Germany."

    WOW! I was the one to post the 'enough is enough' comment regarding the whole Sheff incident, but that was it. In fact, it was my first blog comment I ever wrote.

    I'm sorry that it's gotten so out of hand!

    I love your blog. Hope everything gets back to normal.

    Don't worry, it had nothing to do with you. Your comment was fine. I have no problem with anyone disagreeing with me or telling me I'm wrong. Just be civil -- and you were.

    It probably was enough with Sheffield, but I wanted to post Yankee Bob's decision and because MLB's version of the incident was so ridiculous, my comment ended up being more than a sentence.

    Are you sure he didn't mean like Bush runs the US? (I know, I'm supposed to save that for your other blog...)

    But seriously. Some guy who's never met you randmonly insults you - and then has the gall to accuse you of censoring him! (Plus of course he calls you immature!)

    Don't these people have anything better to do?

    I get the same thing all the time. It's your blog, you've got to control it. That's what the delete key is for.

    I feel your pain. I've had similar issues on my blog. Anonymity can sometimes be courage for cowards. Civil liberties aren't that complicated, people. Learn 'em and live 'em, and don't make accusations lightly. It makes you sound like an American Taliban.

    Speaking for the part of your readership that enjoys reading massive amounts of superfluous profanity, personal attacks on the author, and unmoderated access for tourette's patients, this is a black day.

    I've enjoyed reading your blog since discovering it last summer. It amazes me not so much that people would take the time to call you an a-hole in all caps, but even more so that they'd object to you deleting their "opinion". This is your forum, and we're lucky to get to read it. Keep up the great work. (Go Sox.)

    I just got a headsup from a friend at the miami herald. The south american balco has been uncovered. the names in the report are said to be David Ortiz, manny, Javi lopez and Julio Franco. This is not good for THE NATION!

    Dirt Dogs seems fine. I have it bookmarked and don't go through the Globe.

    "this is a black day" :>)
