A few days ago I changed the comment section of this blog to not allow anonymous posts. This was done because some of the posts were getting immature, disrespectful and accusatory. I created this blog as a place where local, state, and federal political issues could be posted, in the hope of prompting a mature exchange of views. This was happening until recently when the blog began posting items related to the local elections, and some folks started treating this site as a dumping ground for loose comments and accusations.
It is my intention to re-open the comments section tomorrow, to allow anonymous comments. However, I ask that these comments be done in a spirited, yet respectful manner. This blog wants to maintain an open forum for people to exchange thoughts and ideas, but asks that we maintain a level of respect in our comments. Any comments that this blog deems inappropriate will be deleted.
Thanks.
