Comment/no comment

You may notice the comments are back on, and that when you click on them, they now say, in great big type, "This blog does not allow anonymous comments."

It asks you to register with Blogger.com if you want to post comments here.

That is a very simple process. It will ask you to pick a screen name, password, and give a valid e-mail address. But it will not ask for a photo ID, and the e-mail address remains with Blogger. It will not be posted and I will not get it, either. Another benefit is that your Blogger registration is good on any other site hosted by Blogger, like Free Will, for example, which already required registration.

We're still exploring other alternatives to encourage civil discussion while respecting people's rights to privacy. In the meantime, we'd like to hear from you. We know you're out there. But, as they say in the movies, "It's quiet . . . . . TOO quiet."

We're really in the big time now. Advertising, too. Can product placement in my posts be far behind?

You compare the voting franchise with commenting on blogs...

Thus demonstrating why Doyle is less and less relevant to intelligent discussions.

New Ground Rules:
1) You can't be anonymous but you can be fictional.
2) You don't need to show a valid State issued photo ID, unless you also intend to purchase Sudafed.
3)Any posts obviously written in a methamphetamine rage will be deleted.

I haven't always enforced rule #3 above, although some middle of the night posts seem to fall into that category.
