Truth In Politics &, Of Course, In Commenting

Pat Santy M.D. over at Dr. Sanity has been "plagued" with trolls recently, and oddly enough, they all seem to have the same IP address:

"Well, Well, Well. A gaggle of Trolls has hit this blog and accuse me of all sorts of things. One thing I can now accuse them of is that THEY HAVE BEEN ALL ONE PERSON. Jerome, Lila, Peter, Jenna, and Chere all seem to share the same IP address! Isn't that amazing?"

Not that I can't cuss like a real soldier if I choose to (a tour in the USARMY with Sgt. Martinez my Basic Combat Training Senior D.I. included a number of significant NEW vocabulary words; and that was 35 years ago... just imagine what I've added since.) But, as has been said in the past, profanity is the last refuge of the inarticulate (and in too many cases, the ignorant and those who choose to act ignorant.)

One result of Dr. Pat's trial by troll, was that she inalterably altered her comment rules:

"Consequently, I am REVISING MY COMMENT POLICY. Heretofor, I have given people a second chance to clean up their language and to refrain from calling me or other commenters names.

I am not going to give a second chance anymore. From this point on, ANY use of casual foul language, or foul language name calling, analogies etc. etc. will result in the comment being DELETED and the person making the comment BANNED.

I will be the sole arbitor of when language goes over the top, since this is my blog and my threshold."
