Oh, behave!

My noble experiment to provide a forum for healthy discussion for my fellow Venturans has hit a bit of a snag, it seems. A couple of bloggers seem to enjoy taking overly nasty potshots at each other and at outsiders. That's a built-in problem with allowing anonymous comments.

So, I will make you a deal: Every month I will hold a contest. The most thoughtful, well-written post will be put in a spotlighted entry all by itself for all to see. Note: I don't have to agree with you for it to be picked. I'm looking for quality of writing and well-reasoned points.

Blog on.

...or you could let it be known that after you warn someone once the next time they repeat their mistake you will post their real name.

You do have their IP addresses.

Well, thanks, my anonymous friend. But having IP addresses does not mean I know who it is. It does mean that I know when one person is using multiple pseudonyms.

Sometimes I do know names, though.

Note: a system malfunction today deleted many comments. I've gone into backup to replace them tonight. If I've missed any, please re-post.
