I’ve had a couple of “challenging” comments on a couple of posts I’ve made over the past couple of days. It all stems from the fact that a large group of students have “discovered” my blog, and decided to make some comments about and on it. This is not the first time that students I teach have come across it, but in the past, they appeared to be a bit more mature about how they dealt with the fact that I am a person, not just a teacher.

I’m close to putting moderation on the posts, as it’s somewhat annoying to have to remove those that I deem to be inappropriate.

Which brings me to the point I want to make.

By commenting on a person’s blog, you are effectively visiting their house, and leaving your mark. It’s my blog, I’ve put a lot of effort into tweaking the template, and even more into creating content that is, to me at least, meaningful and sometimes important. I reserve the right to remove comments I decide are inappropriate. I’ll usually leave comments that are opposing to my point of view, except if I feel they go too far.

If it gets too bad, I’ll just block access from a variety of IP addresses. Like yours.

I’ve always liked the integration of Gmail and Firefox, when you use something like WebMailCompose. However, it’s not clear how to set it up for Gmail Hosted.

Just edit the Preferences, and in the Webmail Services tab, find the GMail entry. replace the /mail/ with /hosted/yourdomain.com/ and away you go…
