I have had this visitor to this blog, who wants to play games. See the comments to my previous entry to know what I mean. Thankfully, I don’t have an audience for this blog, certainly not one big enough to worry me unnecessarily. This person however, has succeeded in prodding me to do something about comments. Just so that such pesky incidents are minimised, I have activated the option to moderate comments. Unless this person chooses to engage in a discussion openly and fairly, this option would remain activated. I know a handful of you out there occasionally read my entries (presumably we all have our dull moments in life so we need a little distraction). If my entries prompt you to comment, I’d be most delighted as it is almost always exciting to engage someone in a discussion. Up until now I have chosen to let these comments get published without any moderation as open discussions are best. However “open” is the operative word here, and this is not possible if one chooses to play guerrilla warfare-style of games. A former colleague has asked me to ignore this 3-star hotel fellow, and I will, by moderating comments. If it turns out this is his/her idea of a joke, then if I see the humour, I would apologise and revert to life as before. Until then, this person is not invited to comment anymore. Contrary to his belief, this is not public domain as such. It is my sphere which I have chosen to share with the public. Therefore if I don’t like a comment, I can not only choose to ignore it, I can choose not to have it published. My rule? There must be openness. If one chooses to play cloak and dagger games with me, I am not interested. Kapish?
