"Your comment will be posted after approval"...Why are we that insecure? Your comments might not be allowed in the first place and, after careful consideration, there is always "the delete" button. With the "click of the mouse" you can disappear!
Blogs are difficult sites to spam; the "hot Russian babes". the friendly Viagra salesman, and oh so caring
insurance agencies have not quite discovered how to get into these sites, although some bloggers are considerate enough to include advertisements along side their blogs!
What is behind this censorship of comments? I don't do it, say what you will. I like a good fight, a heated discussion, a difference of opinion! Comments always say more about the commentator than the original poster. We should all know that. If we all just want the world to be "nice", we should get out of the art business. Good art will offend someone, someplace, somehow! As artists, do we really give a crap about what someone else thinks anyway? Would you rather have one paragraph praising your art or a six page article detailing how indescribably horrible your work was?
I am curious what gets deleted or fails approval. Maybe personal jabs or just a criticism of color? For me, I like all comments. Blogging is not like a dinner conversation where I may see you grimace, wince at something I said and I am given the opportunity to change my tone, ramp my enthusiasm up a notch or tone it down, politely changing the conversation to the weather. It is just me and this keyboard with no interaction at all. I relie on your comments to give me direction, to discover an audience. I am not after approval. I don't necessarily want agreement. That would be a dull party too. I am only after discussion and the opportunity to broaden both of our horizons.
