I noticed a few months ago that some of my favorite blogs had started moderating comments. It seemed to me as if it happened all at once, although I don't comment that often so I could have missed a more gradual trend. Anyway, thank you for hanging in there: your voice is unique and delightful, and my day is always better for having read it.<br /><br /><br /> -Doug in Oaklanddinthebeasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941071534250216503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-65419000967146778912012-05-05T22:14:39.685-05:002012-05-05T22:14:39.685-05:00Always do what is best for you pls.

They're not the same situation, but what I did was shut down the ability to make comments.<br /><br />I learn a lot from reading in this space. My learning wouldn't be diminished at all if I wasn't able to comment for awhile.sealinc2http://www.yourinfolinc.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-24456370243480104452012-05-02T12:26:52.135-05:002012-05-02T12:26:52.135-05:00Thanks so much for the support, y'all!

You're on my must-read-everyday-list because you GET the whole picture: feminism, race, disability, economic inequality, etc. You know how all this stuff comes together to make life more difficult for average anonymous folk, and you don't let it go unnoticed.<br /><br />You're a hero to me because of the way you refuse to pretend that bs isn't bs, and beyond that, you actually work to make things better, unlike too many people who see the flaws in the system but never take action to correct them (like myself).
