Well, I confess I have done a lousy, lousy job of troll starvation. And the troll seems to be coming back for more. It's my own fault for linking to her posts in a main post. And here I go again.
So here's the deal. In future, I will delete anonymous postings at my discretion. In case it isn't completely obvious, I am not talking about postings that are categorized by Blogger as "anonymous," I mean posts where the poster does not sign her name and/or provide a link or url for her blog. (I'll just take this moment to say "duh." You don't have to log in to identify yourself.)
I would also love it if anyone who posts as "anonymous" for blogger purposes would leave their url because I love to find new blogs. I know that the structure of the blogger comment feature makes it easy to forget to do this; I suspect I've forgotten it at times.
Obviously, I won't delete friendly comments that are left anonymously. But I think my troll friend is having a bit too much fun.
And one other comment for my troll. Please, oh please, if you are going to identify yourself and continue to post (and I am willing to have a debate with you if you will identify yourself), can you please, please get a spellchecker for your browser. I think it's a bit petty for me to make fun of your spelling mistakes, but I'm telling you, I'm having trouble resisting the temptation. Please. It might make you seem slightly less ignorant. Well, maybe.

I find it's very effective to remove the vowels from offending messages. For some reason this stymies trolls in a way that deleting their posts does not. It also hampers their attempts to depict themselves as the victims of censorship, since anyone who wants to can (with some effort) puzzle out their disemvowelled texts and see why I did it.

Hi there fantastic website! Does running a blog like this require a great
deal of work? I have no knowledge of computer programming but
I had been hoping to start my own blog in the near future. Anyhow,
should you have any ideas or techniques for new blog owners please share.
I understand this is off topic but I simply needed to ask.
Many thanks!
