In recent weeks, I've noticed an upsurge in comments that are vituperative, ill-tempered, downright profane attacks on other commenters, as well as very nasty things being said about certain politicians and political parties.
Folks, those comments are not going to be published here. End of story.
I've said many times that I try to keep this blog family-friendly. That means at least a basic level of politeness is required from those who wish to interact with other readers here. It's not difficult, and I don't think it's unreasonable. Simply "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". If you don't want to be referred to or talked about in foul, intemperate terms, please don't do it to others - and if you do want to be referred to or talked about in that way, I suggest you seek immediate psychiatric or psychological help rather than waste your time commenting here.
If that offends you, I'm sorry, but that's the way it is. If you disagree, you're free to start your own blog and say whatever you please.

Peter, because of those types of people, I chose to set my blog to moderate. : - )
You need make no apologies. On my blog I delete anonymous comments.
Since January 20th, we are living in such a magical time, anyone reading this blog should be in a happy mood. Anyone being nasty are trolls
Well banish those Rock-Socking, Mutter-Trekking, Cretines.
Well done, sir. Well done!
no argument; not from me;
I mean, let's face it:
a bit of spice without descending into foul linvective does strain the abilities of most of the trolls,
OTOH, in the '50s my folks predicted that the new "Rock & Roll" would change the English language - and not for the better
You've been clear from the beginning, your rules. (don't know the details of this one... "don't care") We are guests. Period.
No problem. Your site, your rules.
Virtually every blog worth reading is moderated.
Because of the trolls, we can't have nice things.
Rock on, Peter. Your house, your rules.
Your blog, your rules. Hopefully I did not offend you with anything I said.
Some people's kids never learn.
Thank you.
I wish you the best in your efforts Peter, I think the outraged folks who cannot control themselves are just getting started.
It’s going to be a long beautiful year.

I love the word vituperative. I miss the old words.
I love the fact that you're a survivor of wars and absolutely commend you to continue dealing with the Fokkers as you see fit. We can't have them flying by and bombing the comments section with their profanities. :-)
While I'm capable of going into mule skinner mode, I generally choose not to, especially on someone else's site.
It’s hard not go go “Holy F$&#” when your next headline is about $200Million for studying transgender animals. Does it seem like the world became a dystopian cartoon in the last 20 years or so?
Actually, it's not hard at all. My thought on seeing that headline was more along the lines of "Hmm. Not surprised." Mind you, I'm equally outraged. Just not surprised. There is no limit to the depravity of fallen mankind.
Democrats are trash.
Bravo Zulu (Well Done), sir!
Rock on, Brother.
Rock on.
