Ok. What if I said that I would publish any comment that has an identifiable id to it? Here is the thing. If you need to speak to me you can do so in many ways. If you need to speak to the world about me. You can do so too. But what if you want the audience to be defined by me "those who read my blog" and the content delivered by you......AND you dont have the guts to sign your name?

I was planning to comment on your blog but then I found this 'comment moderation' bit quite hypocritical. For someone who waxed eloquently on freedom of speech, to moderate comments that readers might put about his blog just plain stinks. Well you might argue that you are only trying to block abusive, pointless etc etc type of comments. But then your readers will never be able to verify that unless they can have access to the comments that you have chosen not to appear. For all they know you might be only be letting those comments through that agree with your views with a few occasional ones that do not to appear impartial. I suggest you practice what you preach.
