washingtonpost.blog - The Editors Talk About Site Policies, Design and Goals: "But there are things that we said we would not allow, including personal attacks, the use of profanity and hate speech. Because a significant number of folks who have posted in this blog have refused to follow any of those relatively simple rules, we've decided not to allow comments for the time being. It's a shame that it's come to this. Transparency and reasoned debate are crucial parts of the Web culture, and it's a disappointment to us that we have not been able to maintain a civil conversation, especially about issues that people feel strongly (and differently) about."We have been called lefty moonbats in polite conversation and other things I won't repeat in not so polite conversations, welcome to the Jerry Springer world of blogging. I got called names on a conservative site that I respected, I mean they were not polite, accused me of wanting to punish little brown people (obviously not capable of reading my profile) and other things I couldn't believe. I still check in on the site, I just don't read the comments.
It would have sorted itself out after a while, or they could have done what the rest of us did and made it a little more difficult to post a comment. They just thought they were so right and weren't prepared for a reality check. Which is why I refer to them as the WaPoo, until they clean up their act.
