Please pick a handle or moniker for your comment. It's much easier to address someone by a name or pseudonym than simply "hey you". I have the option of requiring a "hard" identity, but I don't want to turn that on... yet.
With few exceptions, I will not respond or reply to anonymous comments, and I may delete them. I keep a copy of all comments; if you want the text of your comment to repost with something vaguely resembling an identity, email me.
No spam, pr0n, commercial advertising, insanity, lies, repetition or off-topic comments. Creationists, Global Warming deniers, anti-vaxers, Randians, and Libertarians are automatically presumed to be idiots; Christians and Muslims might get the benefit of the doubt, if I'm in a good mood.
See the Debate Flowchart for some basic rules.
Sourced factual corrections are always published and acknowledged.
I will respond or not respond to comments as the mood takes me. See my latest comment policy for details. I am not a pseudonomous-American: my real name is Larry.
Comments may be moderated from time to time. When I do moderate comments, anonymous comments are far more likely to be rejected.
I've already answered some typical comments.
I have jqMath enabled for the blog. If you have a dollar sign (\$) in your comment, put a \\ in front of it: \\\$, unless you want to include a formula in your comment.
Note: Only a member of this blog may post a comment.
Menstrual Poetry Twitted that the people from Disqus were incredibly helpful. That's what they went with after she learned to hate intensedebates. Disqus imported all her comments for the site.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean by "I don't want to fuck with blogging comments" in relation to Wordpress? There isn't anything to fuck with.
ReplyDeleteFixed. That's what I get for posting while irritated and sleepy.
ReplyDeleteI don't see how ID Comments created problems or why Wordpress switching was a pain with me doing it for you.
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't know what kind of difference do you expect to see in your blogging experience before switching.
db0, the problems that I had in switching are in no way a reflection on your or all your valuable help.
ReplyDeleteWe're just looking at the experience from two very different perspectives.
But still, to this point, I have absolutely no idea why. You didn't let me know that you had a problem here, or there, so that I might try to address it.
ReplyDeleteAt the very least, saying what exactly was the problem might let others know if it will affect them as well, or if it's something they won't mind.
For example, you say you'd like an order of magnitude improvement on blogging software but if, say, a developer was reading this, they would have no idea what improvement that would be.

ReplyDeleteI did. And people said I was full of shit. I'm not interested in discussing the issue further.
