Some recent comments on my blog has gotten me thinking. I am the moderator of my blog and I chose which comments are published and which are not. There has been times when I have chosen not to. But those times has been because the comment is totally irrelevant to what I've written. Because in general I believe in freedom of speach. I believe in everybody's right to state their opion and I don't want to ban comments just because they are disagreeing with my point of view. With that said though, I also want to say that I don't want to post comments that are offensive. The line here is of course a fine one, but I think that comments that border to offensive are usually quite obviously lacking any sustainable materia in them. And I hope it is also clear to my readers when commenters have opinions about matters that they actually know nothing or very little about. And of course, even though it is in a democratic spirit to be allowed to air your opinions anonymously, it to me personaly gives more credability to an opinion when somebody choses to stand behind it. So the bottom line here is that I aim to post as much as I can when it comes to comments, and I anyone would feel offended by something on my blog, I hope you'd inform me of that, because we all have different way of seeing things and writing should be an open dialogue, but never a place of fear or bad feelings.
