Comments Policy

I used to have comments on this blog until the words of a few 'bad apples' (ah, there's nothing like a fruit metaphor) began to affect my personal life thus prompting me to remove all means of contact. After several calm comment-free months I've decided to reinstate them for certain posts - as opposed to all. And one day, perhaps, when I'm grown a bullet proof skin, I'll bring them back for all my posts.

For the one percent of my readers who may need some comment guidance:

1. Feel free to be honest and frank but not bigoted or obscene.
2. This is my internet home, if you are a rude or offensive guest you will be briskly escorted out the door and not invited back.
3. If your comment has nothing to do with the post and/or is just blatant self-advertising, it will be deleted.

These guidelines go for email as well. As I said before:
All poison letters will be automatically returned with a nasty virus that will consume the letter writer's hard-drive and cause uncontrollable itching and unsightly cellulite on the thighs. Constructive criticism, on the other hand, will receive a thoughtful response as is due. While the writers of all fan letters will automatically be part of my Banana of the Month Club, receiving one bunch of fair trade organic bananas hand-picked by yours truly, dipped in premium milk chocolate and delivered to your door, once a month for the life of this blog.
