Nobody Is Banned

I haven’t banned anybody on this blog since a reader got a bit mental and started cyberstalking other readers in creepy ways. That was a couple of years ago. Currently, the box of banned commenters in the settings sits completely empty. Nobody is banned. I’m ready to do so if people start behaving in unhealthy ways but there are no active bans.

Normally, if I see that somebody is no longer a valuable conversation partner for me, I stop reading their comments. I understand, however, that they might provide interesting conversation to other commenters. I respect and encourage that. But nobody is entitled to my time and attention, and once I’m bored, I move on. Everybody else is free to do the same.

Also, I haven’t checked the Hotmail box for many months. I apologize but there’s too much email in my life. This is why I removed the address from the blog and put the Anonymous message box instead. I think it’s great for people because this way they are completely anonymous and don’t have to involve their email address in communication.
