I spent an hour this morning "moderating" comments. I have no idea how the list came to be. I deal with comments as they appear. Click on publish or delete as I judge best. I don't double check to see what happened.
I generally don't print comments that use a staff person's name. I have become mindful of Google and how it sucks up names to spit them out again on command. The unfairness had to be pointed out to me though.
Politicians names I am not so particular about. A person doesn't get involved in politics if they are shy about seeing their name in print. . If they do they are on the wrong stage. Good reference or bad it 's all part of the territory.
When there's a deluge of comments ,I tend to publish somewhat automatically. I noticed last week, the same innocuous comment being repeated in much the same words.
"Just found the site.Haven't commented before .Just want to say thanks for a great post. Thanks"
I published a few of those before I realized they were spam and stopped.
My time has been focused on a particular task for several weeks.
Georgina's situation took up time and space.People sent comments and I responded. It didn't take much creative effort. Some days the conversation kept going without me.
Now I have to re-focus on town affairs. I will start again to-morrow.
To-day I need to wrap up what I was working on and shift gears.
