Follow Up to Comment Censoring

Yesterday I mentioned how I post comments on other blogs and all of them except one post my comments. Adam Pagnucco, one of the writers of Maryland Politics Watch, responded within 3 hours of my comment and stated that it is their policy not to post anonymous comments. If you don't read the comments at the end of the my posts, some of these were mentioned by me:

Here are my thoughts:
1) How did you find my comment about your blog? Do you read my blog? Or are you web crawling for your names?
2) Anonymous? My name is Eludius.
3) Their policy prevents the likes of James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander Hamilton from posting on their blog. If you read American history you know that when they sent letters to the newspapers criticizing their opponents they always used a pseudonym. For those of you that attended Baltimore City public schools, a pseudonym is a fictitious name.
4) Others that would not be able to post comments because of their pseudonyms: Batman, Sting, Snoop-Dogg, Eminem, Wonder Woman, 50 Cent, Axl Rose, Dido, Lulu, Aqua Man, Meatloaf, Pink, Prince, and Lady Gaga. Are you saying that if they commented on your blog you wouldn't post it?

Comment Censoring

I read a lot of other political blogs, both left-wing lunatic blogs and intellectual-logical-conservative blogs. I comment all the time. What a great way to get your readership up than by leaving comments on other blogs?

Anyway, most blogs have moderation of comments, which makes sense. Sometimes crazy people put some very inappropriate comments on a blog post. However, at one blog my comments are always - what's the word? Unapproved? Censored?

What blog is that? Maryland Politics Watch. It's mostly a Montgomery County-centric blog that champions socialist causes and attacks Republicans for trying to be responsible to the people and is written by Adam Pagnucco and David Lublin. They can write what they want. I'm not criticizing them for that. Some of it is very interesting. But they NEVER post my comments. NEVER. EVER. NEVER-EVER!!! So, Adam Pagnucco and David Lublin - what's the matter? Don't like a little controversy? Do you want all comments to agree with you? That's not responsible.

Huh???

You know how it is sometimes when work is really really busy and you're working a lot of overtime and you're really tired when you get home, but you still have a family to manage and by the time you get the kids to bed you're really tired, too tired to do anything, but think you can write a post for a blog, but then you fall asleep and think that you can write one at work, but work is so busy and the stock market being what it is and companies cutting back and you're afraid to slack the least bit at work for fear that they'll be searching for people to lay off and you can't afford for that to be you, so you continue to bust you butt, but feel like it's not really getting you anywhere because you know you're pay raise will only be about 3% but you're wife doesn't make much money and you can't afford to quit your job and be the low man on the totem poll at another company and risk not having health insurance so you keep chugging along and here you are?
