Anonymous comments

I've blogged before about the comments many newspapers now allow after virtually every story they put online (I call it the TalkRadio effect)...and how it allows jerks to make jokes and leave awful crass comments about suicide stories and the like And this blog also has its share of folks who want to take shots at something I've written, hiding behind the protective cloak of anonymity, of course. And that's fine. But don't you think that the honest way to disagree is to first identify yourself? To have the so-called courage of your conviction? Whatever. [NOTE: I've been deep into some freelancing this week, so my apologies for not posting more frequently. I'll get back on a schedule soon.]
