How Comments Work
Good morning all...
Just thought I'd write a quick note about how comments work, since clearly there's been some confusion.
Because I get so many spam comments on my blog, mostly from websites trying to sell Viagra and such, I have set my comments so that they don't appear until I manually click on them. That means that it if I'm working or asleep or otherwise away from my computer, it might take awhile before your comment appears. It seems that Zeynep posted a lot of comments last night while I was away from the computer -- sleeping for the most part. This is not surprising as we're in very different time zones, so she's up while I'm asleep. I posted them all as soon as I saw them... as I do with any comment from a live human. If anyone knows how I can put the software on the blog that fliters out comments from blog spam programs like the ones that send the zillions (I'm talking 100 a day or more) to my blog, let me know, and I'll go back to letting all comments go to posted without moderation.
In the meantime, here are all the comments that were posted while I was asleep. All from Zeynep:
Well,
I strongly believe after a few tests that April is full of shit. Not worthy of anything because she's not a real and sensitive human being. She resembles the cartoon cut out figures we used to cut out of magazines and dress up with the clothes provided, to play with. April is a 7 year old girl's playmate and nothing else. She cannot be anything else. She's stuck in her barbie phase.
Well April,
since you decided to get rid of all my comments even th well-meaning ones, and censored me on my comments abut MR while quoting me, I have no choice but to resort to my original idea; you are so vain... So vain and so insecure that you can't deal with what I represent, stand up for yourself without changing or deleting what you receive, so vain and insecure that I have no idea how you can be an union organizer with that weak personality. Make sure to censor and use this comment as material for a blogfeed for you and a feeding for your monkeys.

Here go April's monkeys once again... You monkeys: How many times do I have to tell you that I speak your mother tongue perfectly as a third language (after turkish and german) and that I know exactly what the word "vain" means and I use it consciously? How many more times?

Dear April,
You have great advocates, all trying to explain to me what the word "vain" means.. Well, I know what the damn word means, that's why I can use it. No explanations needed, thank you.
I actually started liking you after finding out that you were a union organizer. That's one heck of a hard and important job! Mary also told me how idealistic you are and I like idealistic people. By the way, you cleverly censored my comment about MR in your quote from me, don't think that didn't catch my attention. All those pro-April monkeys' comments aside, I changed my blog and am ranting and raving there now, if you care to check. istanbulwitch.blogspot.com

Well, i read zeynep's blog and i like it. Too bad she lacks impuls control or some such.
"c'est le ton qui fait la musique" and so moderation in one's expression can greatly help bring one's message accross :-).
