Dear Anonymous

I appreciate your most recent comment and, as has been the case with some other comments, I think you make some points that add to the conversation and should be given an airing. However, you bury those points in what I consider clearly expressions of unsupported hostile opinion.

I'm not against the expression of opinion, even anonymous opinion, even negative opinion; but when you include unsupported assertions that are hostile and serious, without identifying yourself, you force me to block the entire comment.

Unfortunately, in doing that, we lose the opportunity to hear and consider the fact-based issues that you quite reasonably raise.

Because I cannot respond to you privately, since you've given me no means to do so, I am writing to you publicly to suggest: a) that you give me some way to respond to you so that I can tell you more specifically what I find inappropriate for general posting (I'm not going to make your points public for you by identifying them), b) to assure you that I will honor your anonymity if you choose to identify yourself privately, and c) to invite you to re-post if you'd like on the specific issue of advertising content that you raise.

Thanks. I do appreciate the time and effort evident in your comments.

Chuck
