There Is No Warm Blanket of Anonymity Here
By Matt Margolis | July 23, 2003
Due to the repeated advice of one of my fellow bloggers, I have come to a decision regarding anonymous commenters on my blog.
Anonymous commenters will be deleted at my discretion - and this is to become more strictly enforced.
So here’s my plan:
If I am able to determine the identity of an anonymous poster, I will expose it by putting his/her e-mail address with their posts.
If an anoynmous poster becomes an annoyance to me, I’ll just being to delete their posts until they decide to stand behind their words and opinions and put their name (or e-mail address) to them.
If someone wants to remain anonymous on my blog they MUST e-mail me personally, tell me the alias they will post under, and a justifiable reason why they do not want to put up their e-mail address, and then, if I deem it okay, they may post comments.
Obviously, I can’t always keep up with what people post and what e-mail addresses they use. I cannot waste a great deal of time determining the legitimacy of one’s e-mail address. So I encourage my loyal commenters to report any suspected false e-mail addresses to me.
Further rules regarding this issue will be posted in the FAQ in the near future.
Don’t like my rules? Go somewhere else. I make no attempt to hide my identity. Therefore, I am 100% accountable for my views and opinions. If these people who post anonymously don’t want to be accountable for their views and opinions, then fuck them!

My only comment is that you need to allow users to resize the Comment popup window.
