I like your justification for your moderation policy:

It’s your blog, and you can moderate it how you want. Period. You don’t need anyone else’s permission or approval.

If anyone disagrees, they can get their own blog and moderate it the way they want.

Hey Kate. I just wanted to say that I really, really appreciated the way you corrected me (giving the benefit of the doubt, explaining what the problem was, not singling me out) when I went wrong in the comments a few weeks ago when I was new. Anybody that thinks your a bitchy moderator (not that there’s anything wrong with that) is a crazy person.

As a brand new member, I appreciated having my first post monitored – the last thing I want to do is start off on the wrong foot.
And I sooo love being a bitch in a good way (the Good Bitch of the West?)! Your post was awesome – I can hear my 18 year old son saying, “Oh god Mom, you mean there are MORE of you out there?”
Thanks for the job you guys do – I’m looking forward to reading more.

YES! That is what I also thought it was, and I couldn’t remember for the life of me. (I said to SM, “I don’t know what I thought it was but there is no way in hell I thought it was ‘keep my cheeks dry today’ because it doesn’t sound remotely like that.’”)

I thought it was “I’d like to keep my cheat in stride today”. (Or cheating stride). This is what happens when you don’t publish lyrics on your liner notes.

I thought it was “cheating strategy,” LOL.

I’ve noticed that it’s very easy to type nasty things when (a) you have little or no self-esteem; (b) you hate your life; and (c) it’s over the internet, where you don’t run the risk of getting sucker punched, like you would offline.

Everybody else seems to be acquainted, so I feel like a bit of an odd thumb commenting. In lieu of typing anything else that might be serious, I’ll…

Well, i was going to tell an off-color joke, but I don’t know if that would be appropriate. I’m going to read a few more posts and get a better feel for how things go around these parts.

I’ve probably read about half the comments (I couldn’t take the music discussions.) And I agree whole-heartedly – love this blog, appreciate the ‘bannination’ policy and lack of total numpties.

And Fillyjonk, I now keep singing ‘PUDDING IN THE MIX’ in my head ‘putting on the ritz’ stylee… At least it’s driven Phil Collins out of my head.

Big fat kisses to all my fellow shapelings!

Great post, Kate.

And hallie, you have the simplest yet cutest monster. I am jealous, ha!

right fucking ON, kate.

i don’t always have time to read the comments – observe the nigh-fucking-300 comments on this very thread for instance. but! i know that when i *do* have time, or have something to add of my own? that it will be totally worth it to a) add it and b) see what others added (within time constraints – 300+ comments is some kinda commitment for time).

so yay to the itchy banning fingers! woo hoo! i love that headache is enough to constitute a banning, anyway. when did listening to the ol’ gut instinct become so unpopular anyway? i blame our legalistic nightmare of a government.

I know, A Sarah, I know! I thought we were made entirely of pink sparkles and puppy dog tail for 12 weeks. I’m sure that’s in my contract somewhere.

You’ll be pleased to know I proceeded from ‘tipsy’ to ‘wasted’ as god intended, then spent the whole of the Fourth having to leave rehearsals to throw up. I think I’m filing that under ‘lessons learned’.

Dear Eliza, you are very pretty but I would like it if you were in a movie I could publicly admit to having seen.

Eee hee hee. Exactly.
