No, this isn’t about the other pink meat.<\/p>\n
Over the past week, this blog has been inundated with spam comments. \u00c2\u00a0There have also been a couple of comments that could possibly have come from readers, however, comments without a real name submitted will not be accepted per the comment policy<\/span> for this site. \u00c2\u00a0In fact, I refused a comment earlier this week for these reasons and received an angry email from someone who wouldn’t reveal their identity even to me. \u00c2\u00a0However, Tom S., I was able to track you down from an earlier angry email you’d sent me, via your IP address, and do not appreciate your ire.<\/p>\n I don’t hide my identity and stand behind what I post to this blog – so should you. \u00c2\u00a0I am a strong believer in free speech, however, there are responsibilities that go along with that. \u00c2\u00a0I cannot believe that in most situations, you’re gonna fear recriminations or waking up with a horse’s head in your bed. \u00c2\u00a0If you feel the need to spout off incognito or you don’t agree, feel free to start your own blog and leave mine alone!<\/p>\n Blogs can be a productive, meaningful place for the exchange of ideas. \u00c2\u00a0We don’t always have to agree, but we do need to be civil.<\/p>\n Thanks for listening!<\/p>\n No, this isn’t about the other pink meat.
