The Splintered Chat #5

Here we are again. A brand new weekend. I hope you have a good one

planned, whatever your style. I'll go ahead now and open comments up

in our weekly open thread.

I'll start the chat off by asking you about comments, though you can

still feel free to discuss anything.

I've been thinking of doing away with Anonymous comments. I'd like to

cut down on negative posts, and I'd like to get to know some of the

positive commenters who have posted Anonymously. However, I haven't

shut off Anonymous comments because in the past I feared forcing a

login to post comments seemed like comment death. Besides, it is

insidiously easy to forge an ID. All an Anonymous poster has to do is

create a dummy Blogger account and then flame with with carefree

abandon.

However, Blogger has added some new login features you may not know

about. Check out this picture of the various sites now supported by

Blogger:

Do you think this will help or hurt comments here? Do you think it

will matter? Are you happy McCain won Florida? Oh, sorry. My mind

wandered. Regardless of how you feel on Anonymous posting, users of

other blog platforms can now log in and link their blogs to their

comments much easier now. That's a good thing and I hope some of you

take advantage of it. I like to read the works of others.

As for Anonymous posters, I'm still mulling the idea over. In the

meantime, have fun below.
