Hi,

I have been getting a lot of femfigueres comments on these posts and I want to thank all of you who have taken your time to write and post a comment.

I read all of them -eventually- and appreciate them.

Last post I responded to some questions from the comments on steroid use. 

This post I am making a few changes.  I have had to add a spam filter to them. 

Why anyone would want to post about ringtones -10-20 posts a day – on this website is beyond me. 

And rather than manually going in and deleting them, I will just use a spam filter to get rid of them.

I got a few posts asking why I was deleting their comments.  So here are my reasons.

The first is I thought it was spam.

The second is the use of inappropriate language (swear words).

The third is the use of racist or sexist language.

The fourth is what I call shouting.  This is when someone’s comment is only designed to blow off steam.  Calling me stupid, dumb, ugly, skinny, fat and other more derogatory terms really adds nothing to the conversation.  And yes, I have been called skinny and fat.  Go figure.

The fifth is related to the fourth.  This is when someone doesn’t agree with me and does so by shouting or using inappropriate language. 

I don’t mind someone disagreeing with me, but tell me why.  Just saying an article was the stupidest thing ever written in the history of the world is really not constructive. 

My writing is based upon my research and my opinions.  I don’t expect everyone to agree with them.  But, hopefully, they have raised an eyebrow or made you think about something in a new way. 

That is my goal. 

However, I did screw up in one way.  When I had this blog designed it was pre populated with a few articles. 

And I did not look at them.  I just started writing my own posts.  That was a mistake. 

As someone pointed out, one of the articles did not make sense.  I read it and had to agree.  So this week I will be going through all of the pre populated posts and changing them or deleting them.

For that oversight I do apologize.  And I pledge not to let that happen again.

Again thanks for your comments and ideas for improvement.  They are truly appreciated.
