No you are!" and never recover. We don't want that. And language is an issue — we promote the blog in the newspaper and don't want to be associated with a bunch of spewing.<BR/><BR/>That said, people have been acting like grown-ups — I haven't rejected a comment yet, nor do I recall any bad language being used.<BR/><BR/>Another consideration is time. If it takes more time to deal with inappropriate usage after the fact, that's a problem, because I can only budget so much time for the blog. <BR/><BR/>Let me ask you this: Does moderation inhibit your use or enjoyment of the blog? How would unmoderated comment affect same?<BR/><BR/>We'll give some consideration to changing the settings.<BR/><BR/>Thanks very much for weighing in. Feedback from readers is valuable as we venture our here into the blogosphere.<BR/><BR/>Jim Cornelius, Editoreditorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18298399110078317876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8013770732504059370.post-33709909443502907632008-05-28T13:07:00.000-07:002008-05-28T13:07:00.000-07:00A note to Jim: Comment moderation is just silly. T...A note to Jim: Comment moderation is just silly. This is a blog, which is a place for discussion.<BR/><BR/>Waiting for you to "approve" my comments is way to conduct a discussion. Are you trying to avoid expletives? Or spam?<BR/><BR/>If you have a problem with cursing, you can always delete it later. Other than four-letter words, are there comments that you wouldn't let stand "as-is"?<BR/><BR/>Just wondering...Easycurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440383472592292038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8013770732504059370.post-34643903139122041342008-05-28T13:02:00.000-07:002008-05-28T13:02:00.000-07:00I usually don't agree with you, but you are right ...I usually don't agree with you, but you are right on in this case.<BR/><BR/>Here in Sisters, leashes are the exception rather than the rule.<BR/><BR/>The fact is that YOU are responsible for your dog. If it runs free and hurts someone or destroys property, YOU are liable. If your dog is barking incessantly, YOU are disturbing the peace.<BR/><BR/>There is no reason to not have your dog on a leash and there are very few reasons a dog should bark enough to bother a neighbor.Easycurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440383472592292038noreply@blogger.com
