Turned out this guy had a blog of his own - on Wordpress - and as he gleefully pointed out to me, he received about 50x my traffic every day. His site was aessentially one long racist anti-Obama rant, calling for the violent overthrow of the U.S. government if Obama should win. His posts were in clear violation of Wordpress policies - or at least they WERE, until those polices were revised on the day that I was writing to them to file a complaint. (Wordpress makes it almost impossible to file such a complaint, and tightly restricts who is allowed to claim injured-party status. Essentially, unless I was Barack Obama, I had no business filing a complaint - and even then, they would have made it nearly impossible.) That was when I started using comment moderation, deleted all this guy's comments, and refused to let any more through. After a series of increasingly angry and frustrated posts, he eventually went away. Later, his site did too. I hope he had a visit from the Secret Service. I still have comment moderation turned on to this day.D.B. Echohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01797128570217627410noreply@blogger.com
