We are into the silly season, where personal invective overcomes common sense and decency and it is not my intention to promote egregious, unproven and anonymous personal attacks.
If you want to call someone a drunk...a drug dealer...a wife beater....gay...a philanderer....a thief..make fun of their name, religion or ethnicity..or the like. here is what you need to do
PUT YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS ON THE POST in which you make the assertion, and offer some documentation.
I think it best to start curbing it early in the season.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.

Thank you Mr. Mayor and thank you for providing a forum where we can express our political views.
good for you for cracking down, mr. mayor!
Thank you for providing this outlet for opinions, frustration and general knowledge of various subjects
Jeff I agree with you 100%. It hardly takes much of a person to make outrageous accusations trouncing behind an anonymous post. If you have some derogatory unsubstantiated remark, make sure you have the courage to stand behind yourself.
If anyone would like my Information just let me know.
I have been saying this for some time now,people who throw others under the bus but don't have the guts to put there names on there post should not even be alowed to use your forum, ya it might get a little boring at times but to attack people for no reason at all come on!!!take them for what they are hollow posters with no lives .Most of them are people who are eating a whopper and smoking a nasty cig while tiring there fat fingers to death on there ash filled keyboards losers....
Juston:
At least you mounted a handle on your disparaging generalizations.
Ban Anonymous posters (if they insult)... stand by your post and assertions or don't post.

Speaking of comments ... none needed here, right? LOL
A Picture Worth a Thousand Words
Its always the same people who get their comments removed. Otherwise, no one but Dannie posts with his real name. So I thinks this is much ado about nothing. Others get offended with they are called on their misrepresentations. I don't think the issue is signing one's. Some folks just want to be able to whitewash the truth. Kinda like the MSM does. I also think it has something to do with the folks who hate this Blankenbush guy. So either way, let's all sing cumbybaloney and see who starts using their name. And lets also see who quits lying. You know, simple stuff, like "there is no evidence people are leaving NY" and The Great One has cut taxes to their lowest levels in 60 years. It really is about issues.
Ken Blankenbush has conducted his fair share of county deals behind the cover of closed doors, including secret meetings with Big Wind, Don Alexander and the two votes he need to flip on the legislature...all to cram down tax breaks for billionaires on a project opposed by 75% of the county. The same project that was recently granted a permit to kill Bald Eagles. Good going Ken. So if he can do all of that behind closed doors - what is the big deal if the 75% of the county he screwed wants to post anonymously about him. He has it coming in spades. BlankenBaldEagleKiller
I didn't know he murdered Bald Eagles.
Look. I don't know that much about the man. I just don't think he is the answer for what we need. We need new blood. Some youth. Don't we have anybody in their 30's or 40's who doesn't have their foot in government or their dad to thank for their school job? Did we chase ALL those independent minded young people away? I'd like to see that Randy Richardson guy or Mr Renzi have another go at it.

Sounds like 'ol Kenny Boy better tape his ankles for a downright muddy fall season.
I have been beating my head against the wall over this same thought....after all what would John Hancock say or sign after a comment

If you want to be a public figure in the internet age, you are going to have to put up with anonymous bloggers. The bulk of anonymous blogs are a little bit like stereotypes - they would not exist if they were not partly true. Man up.
