Having read through these guidelines and the responses it surprised me that no one seemed to consider the term “Piss off” vulgar or inappropriate. Only In recent months have I come to accept it.

More important, after being advised to read these guidelines I wonder if I will now find my comments have been accepted, and if not when might I accept them to be,(in days or hours)? and do they get “edited” or just omitted?

I’m sincerely impressed by the language skills, application of reason and relatively polite tone on these blogs. I may hang around awhile.

And apparently it was, because the comment didn’t go through here either… unless I spelled my username backwards. O… kay then.

Judging by the “spam-catching” message, you’re using WP-SpamFree, aren’t you? Hate that thing with a passion. There’s something about my writing style that makes it mistake many of my posts for spam (on other sites; haven’t posted here before), and it’s sometimes like pulling teeth for me to get a comment through. Not sure what it is about my comments that sets it off… Ah well.

Okay, I’m trying to post a comment in another thread, and keep getting flagged as spam (it’s not). Testing here with a very short link-free post to see if maybe it’s the username that gets me flagged…

There have been several times now that when I include a link to another website (usually neurologica or science based medicine),that the comment either takes an extremely long time to show up, or never shows up at all. Am I doing something wrnog? I see comments all over the blog with links, so I can’t see where that would be an issue.Also, this did not use to happen, this has been a fairly recent development.

OK, so, Feralboy (post #20) is a troll, right? The name kind of gives it away. HobbitEater would have been better.

I have noticed my comments disappearing more than once despite not violating any rules. This has left me very skeptical regarding the worth of your website. Goodbye.

Maybe some of the vagueness of the comments policy could be relieved by giving us some examples of what is not allowed. It would be both instructive and entertaining. Oh Please. What could be better?
