By the way what's the difference between blogging as anonymous  or "Doggone" and having a photo of a dog. Is that not anonymous?

Shane, you are right there is not much difference between the two but at least if people are blogging with a handle (private or not) it is easier to differentiate between bloggers and there is SOME accountability.

Why do you need to see and count other people's posts Jim? That's right, END DELETION, END THE ABILITY TO DELETE OTHER PEOPLE'S COMMENTS ON ONE'S OWN BLOG, it should be up to the handlers of this site to decide whether or not the comment is inappropriate and violates the site's rules.

I hope they didn't take it off. I know sometimes "Anonomyous" was just someone being a smatra**, but other times it seemed as if someone had something to say, but because of (maybe) their job they didn't want to use their name.  That's just my opinion.

Mr. Anonymous was a little out of control at times.  I think that some of these guys are basically using their blogs and anonymous as shock value.  Trying to get a rise out of people. 

C'mon, you have to admit, sometimes its easy to do  ; )

Congrats, TN. It's about time you listened to the majority of us and did away with the "anonymous" ability. Now, we will have either people with their real names (like me) or at least a handle so we can see and count their posts.

Next, please eliminate the ability for Deletion. People will just have to learn to THINK before they post. If they later think better of what they said...it should just be too bad for them. That's like a lawyer deliberately saying something inflammatory in front of a jury and the judge admonishing the jury to "strike that remark from the record and the jury is to ignore it."

It's called a "Legal Ploy".

YOU CAN'T UN-RING A BELL!!
