Downside

One downside to doing total comment moderation is you never get to see the comments that have worn my patience down to zero.

I won't describe my comment policy as zero tolerance, but...

The up/down variance is narrow.

Some commenters get a comment that's borderline irritating then get deleted later.

That's because they leave a follow-up that puts them on the other side of the deciding line.

The "good" news for y'all is I'm filtering the content, not the commenter.

Follow the simple rules in the commenting section and you get to comment.

Break them... start your own blog and say anything you want there.
