I’ve tweaked the comments a little — enabled avatars and downgraded the number of links allowed in a comment to a maximum of two before it goes to moderation (which I don’t bother checking, because I don’t have time).
So — if your comment goes to moderation or you think it’s been deleted, reflect on what might have sent it there. 95% of the time, it’s the software: you used a term that the filter doesn’t like, or dropped too many links. It’s annoying, but it’s just how it has to be to prevent filling the place with spam. And if it was a blog author who deleted your comment because you insulted them — try a different approach, Einstein.
On that note, I remind that minority of regulars who insist on engaging in insults and namecalling that you need to stop. Quit pissing on the carpet. Stay on topic. You know who you are.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.
All kidding aside, I do hope to engage in more meaningful conversation in the future. See you in the next Ukraine thread.
It’s floggings, damn your eyes!
The FLOGGINGS shall continue until morale improves.
The biggest breakthrough in labor relations since the cat-o-nine tails.
Hopium is not a strategy, Allah. The Cross Dressing Puppet inhales copious amounts, as do the Lame street media dolts.

I got kicked off twitter years ago, and have appealed it becuse I was never given a reason. Consequently I can read but not post..therefore can’r question things about Andy.. Thanks for the update.. She appears to be back up..
Why bother, there are thousands of sites to review and most are not censoring. Twitter has never added anything to my day.
Well the inquiry is over. The partisan bureaucrats have discovered that there is an option in the emergencies act to define national emergency as what they feel it ought to be. So the lying cabinet was right all along. Nothing to see here.
Yes, ma’am!
I shall paraphrase the good Miz Kate in terms better suited to some of the audience: Fight nice ya sonsabitches or the ban hammer’s comin’ down on yo asses.
L – “Don’t piss on the carpet” means if you’re not housebroken. You’ll have to find a new
abode with a blog run by barn cats. And if you’re not a good mouser, you’ll starve.

find a new abode with a blog run by barn cats. Ones, who allow catty comments.
And if you’re not a good mouser, you’ll starve.
Yes, ma’am.
Quit pissing on the carpet.
Hahaha, what LBJ supposedly screamed at Mike Pearson…
Kate, some of your celebrity commenters work very hard on their identities and even though we change them as fast as most people change their underwear we still love the fact that you let us perform circus tricks.
How do the avatars work? I don’t see a field for avatar when I posts comment.
I’ll certainly do my best, Kate, but frankly, when the likes of Unme lie on the carpet in front of me, my kidneys get awful restive.
I enjoy many of the comments and posts. There are some sharp minds here.
I don’t enjoy flaming, insults, and time wasting nonsense.
Thank you, Kate, for taking steps to rid this of nonsense.
