As of yesterday, "anonymous" comments will no longer be accepted. This has been recommended as good policy and I've been forced to agree. Although this was due mostly to comments (largely by trolls) on my primary blog (The Mad Monarchist) I have to say that the lighter side of things here at Mad for Monaco was not immune to problems. Some anonymous comments were good or at least benign and it is too bad those will no longer be featured (unless they sign in or get an account somewhere) but I have to say there have been a lot of anonymous comments lately that were exclusively devoted to hateful insults directed at Charlene Wittstock. I think my opinions on that subject are well known (to all regular readers at least) but regardless of your opinion, spreading insulting gossip and leaving hateful comments just for their own sake is wrong -plain and simple. I never posted those and now I will not have to deal with them at all. I hope this is not too much of an inconvenience for anyone and thanks to all for reading. -MM
