It seems every blogger comes to this point and I was fortunate that I didn't reach it for over two years, but now, here I am.
Since one of my commenters has a shifting IP address and resists banning, I am forced to use Typepad's comment approval system. I didn't want to use any of the protective devices that Typepad has recently implemented, because I value the free flow of conversation and, frankly, I don't feel like reading everyone's comments. However, someone always has to drop a turd in the punchbowl.
So when your comments don't appear automatically, it's because I'm asleep or gone or busy. Blame Bill O.
UPDATE: Simple question, not unrelated:
Why is it when you’re standing there handing out “Dumba** of the Month” awards someone’s always trying to cut in line?
I've taken to editing their comments. Make them look foolish. I only do it if they are over the top such as using profanity or make ludicrous statements. Seems to work.

I do that too, but this person posts a lot and doesn't seem to understand the concept of "my property, my rules."

Some people have nothing better to do. There's a certain type of OCD troll for whom you can't engage any of their arguments, because it just means participating in their neuroses, & they will counter ANYTHING you say. I just go off the wall, it drives them nuts

Liberals have very special rules when it comes to property. What's their's is their's and what is yours is their's.
I wouldn't just walk on to someone's property and act like it's my own. It's called respect. There are some folks who didn't get that lesson from their mom when they were growing up.

This sucks
I understand, but you were the reason I opened my comments :)
Got 250+ comments to my Bush's Gettysburg post this weekend.

Hi baldilocks are you home ?
Sorry. Its too bad it came to this point How can you read all
this stuff I just glance at Bill OHS!!! rantings and thats too
much Its not hard to size him up.
There's really very little there. I hate these whiney little girly man types They always come to republican blogs
so they can throw there little tizzy fits. I go to a pro secound ammendmet sight { The Beagle Express] And Bill Ohs!!
Twin was there He started
out using the pen " you suck"
then he came back , apologised,
and used the pen respectfully disagree . He was on for 9 mos or so and continued to get more abusive and more annoying . The blog owner , finally ended up
having to suspend all comments
temporarily I still read it and email him once in a while
But what a royal pain in the ass. Thanks for youre patience

I don't have anything to say--not just now, anyway--except that I would have to be crazy to object to your deciding whether I get to say it on your real estate.

It came down to you handing out lollypops and arsewhuppins and you were straight out of lollypops.
I guess that tool has far too much time on his hands. Some of us have jobs/school/life to occupy our minds.

It's a sad commentary on the times that some people can find nothing better to do than criticize and harrass. Don't blame you, Baldi.
