A certain anonymous poster boink! was not who I initially thought it was, i.e. a public official with a penchant for such activity based on past expereinces. I was able to confirm through the ip address and analysis that it was not that individual. The user boink! wanted it to appear that he was a sychophant/supporter of a certain public official when he/she in fact is not. In fact quite the opposite based on my analysis.

I encourage commenters to pick a name and stay with it. Creative names like "I LUV Timmay" and "Grafix Avenger" are just fine. If I suspect you are a public official who insists on not going on the record and logging in under multiple aliases I will block your IP and delete your posts. The occasional guest comment if it is on the up and up will be allowed. This isn't censorship, it is my website and my new rules.
If your comment is held in moderation, it could be that I have filtered certain words like c*cks*cker, motherf*cker, plain old f*ck, and boink! Feel free to email me if you feel you have been blocked or moderated unnecessarily at kurt.gardiner@gmail.com. I have no problem with differences of opinion, I have a problem with feckless, deranged and spineless individuals who can't accept accountability. I don't have a problem with the strongly opinionated. For the rest of you comment freely but do take responsibility. Your anonymity is still assured. ◦
