Simple. This blog is about me and my opinions. It is not a forum for open discussion. People can read what I write and decide for themselves whether or not I'm full of it. That's their prerogative. I leave comments open for my own entertainment. I find most of them amusing and interesting.

But that's not an open invitation to unload your childish frustrations and tell me what an a-hole I am. I have a wife for that. Go be bitter, hostile and humorless somewhere else. Or better yet, go start your own blog.

Snotty, incoherent or inane comments will be ignored. Comments that I find to be a waste of my bandwidth will be deleted without a second thought. If you become a big enough pain in my ass, then your IP address will be blocked. Patience is not my strong suit.

If you read through enough content here you'll understand that I don't take myself too seriously. I learned that lesson a long time ago. I'm just a guy with a blog and a lot of opinions. And like the great "Dirty Harry" Callahan once said, "Opinions are like assholes. Everybody's got one."

Comment spam used to be a big problem, but remedies have been made to minimize it. At one point, it was such a headache that I had to disable comments for an entire month. Hopefully, I won't ever need to take similar action again, but if I do I'll announce it accordingly.

Do not include commercial website URLs in your comments without my permission. I'm not here to drive up Google rankings for businesses that I don't give a crap about. Commercial web addresses that do nothing for me will be deleted (if not the whole comment). When leaving comments, you're more than welcome to include a personal website address in the "URL" field, but it isn't a required field.

One last thing. Be aware that I'm terrible when it comes to responding to comments. Honestly, I rarely do unless I can add something of value or if I feel I need to make a rebuttal. Please don't take it personally if I don't follow up your comment with one of my own. I'm not ignoring you. Actually, the best way to make direct contact with me is via email.
