Unfortunately, some posters have some difficulty in sticking to the topic.

Got a few replies to my comment that Civil Comments is hardly that, that posters should hafta sign their names, as is the case with letters to the editor, where proper vetting is done before the comment sees the light of day.

Not the case here, as a decidedly personal vile comment was directed at me.  If that poster did not have the opportunity to hide behind the shield of anonymity, no doubt that person would not have had the guts to post such trash.

Civil Comments could not care less about things like that; their job is to make $$, and if they hafta live in the filth with such posters in order to do that, then they're just fine with that.

That some don't get, that they never will get it, shocking, eh?

It's simple:  sign your name.  That's all I said.  It would clean up this website in a second,  I mean, very few would show up if they had to self-identify, but too bad.
