It's your blog and you can do whatever you want with it. <br /><br />What bothers me, I admit, is the fact that many of the anti-science, pseudoscience-peddling, misinforming, misleading blogs use the EXACTLY SAME reasoning to stifle any criticism of their content in the comments section. <br /><br />You OTOH invite reasoned discourse; I am sure you'd agree that the practice of censorship is completely antithetical to any reasoned, intelligent discourse.SUIRAUQAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17918432443330964561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222122824332668034.post-42193970516297369792011-04-18T09:30:41.153-04:002011-04-18T09:30:41.153-04:00It's about stopping the trolls in their tracks...It's about stopping the trolls in their tracks.

Spam is also effectively dealt with by the system. There is no need for additional comment moderation; it smacks of censorship.SUIRAUQAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17918432443330964561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222122824332668034.post-66514898192888924322011-04-17T16:46:27.195-04:002011-04-17T16:46:27.195-04:00People also moderate comments to stop irrelevant s...People also moderate comments to stop irrelevant spam cluttering up their blogs.quedulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09737971867539674984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222122824332668034.post-50349100619055259032011-04-17T15:06:04.239-04:002011-04-17T15:06:04.239-04:00Thank you.
