Why Comments Are Deleted

Some of the comments being posted on The Woodstock Advocate are being deleted, because they are vulgar, crude, obscene or untrue. One of the wonderful things about having my own blog is that I get to choose.

I do not delete comments that present conflicting opinions. If you want to share your opinion, you are free to do so. If you are vulgar and I find your comments, they are deleted.

Just because you post as Anonymous doesn't mean that you cannot be identified. Your computer's I.P. address can be traced and, if you commit a crime by posting on this blog, then you may be subject to prosecution.

If you read a comment here and want to call it to my attention, email me at Gus@WoodstockAdvocate.com I try to read all the comments, even to older postings. However, I do not search all the postings for new comments.

It's working pretty well to allow commenters to post without registering first. The Northwest Herald tried it, and it didn't work for them. I've got a thick skin, and I also know right where the Delete key is.

So, express yourself as well as you can. Some who have been posting here can do better. Those who read here regularly will eventually figure out who is posting the trashy comments, and then those comments might make their way to the employers, families, neighbors or social groups of those with trashy mouths, or their identity might just be posted right here for all readers to see.

Play nice now.

If your skin is so thick, why do you worry about the delete key? The exposure threats probably won't work either.

But you deleted commments that you have a register-sex offender for a room mate. How is that untrue? Or vulgar?

dont try to threaten anyone with tracking them down. first of all, do you even know how to track someones ip address? all it does is give you the location where the central hub is, not the particular person or their identity. have fun trying to track down mine, if you dont know what a static ip is ill let you know, it is always changing. and maybe it would be nice if you couldnt get into this dumb blog anymore. how about i trace your ip and prevent you from using this, judging by the look of that picture, i dont think you have enough smarts left in you to do trace an ip. suck on that asshole.

people have the right to an opinion, so if i think you take it in the ass, thats my opinion of you. so there is nothing to do about that.
