As much as I don’t want to waste more time on this, the state of the comments section on my blog has degenerated to the point that changes have to be made. For the first ten years I ran this blog, I kept comments open to anyone, for close to real-time conversations. However, the toxic, combative nature of the comments on nearly every blog post have driven away dozens of people who used to make substantive, thoughtful comments. I have tried culling toxic comments, but the flood of them comes faster than I can handle them, given that this is not my actual day job and I can’t spend hours each day reading aggressive, inane, or abusive posts. I have tried IP blocking, but many posters simply generate a new IP address and continue on, while Weebly, which provides my blogging software, has restricted my access to IP addresses in their latest redesign. I have wracked my brain to come up with an effective solution. My preference has always been to avoid censorship and allow for free expression. But that clearly isn’t working. Toxic posts come from only a handful of users, and the number of people who comment on the blog are such a vanishingly small percentage of the thousands who read my posts each day that I no longer feel it is worthwhile to leave comments open and unfiltered only for that privilege to be abused.
Starting with tomorrow’s Ancient Aliens review, the comments on posts going forward will require approval before they are posted. Because I am not available to do this around the clock, that means that comments will generally be posted once or twice per day. I understand that this will cut down on comments and likely curtail some conversations, but it is the only solution I can find that will strike a balance between turning off comments entirely and me wasting my whole day trying to hold back the tide of toxicity.

“...the tide of toxicity.” You get what you give. You have made fun of so many people... remember the handicapped guy you claimed said he “discovered a lost civilization in his backyard “? What he really did was find rock piles in the woods that he thought were Indian. You and a couple others have gleefully tried to not just disprove some claims but to humiliate and destroy individuals who might not have a complete grasp on reality. You and your fellow conspirators have tried to ban books, demand that tv networks show what you decide is “science,” and claim that the alleged fringe is doing it for money. And then you beg for money and try to manipulate people to buy your biased books. And the fringe really means people who have opinions and ideas different than yours. You would have been one of the inquisitors. Instead of just countering ideas and beliefs you think are false, you always try to destroy the messenger. It’s that simple. It’s karma.

I'm not sure if the concept of troll covers the behavior of certain people who clearly have mental health or substance abuse issues and put them on display here on a daily basis. Often draconian measures have to be taken to deal with people because in their own minds they are just acting normal. Any appeals to them to modify their behave are rejected because in their minds it would then be abnormal behavior on their part and an uncomfortable deviation what they have been doing their entire life.

One year for Halloween she showed up at school wearing a gorilla mask. She was utterly bewildered as to why everyone knew who she was immediately even from a distance. A couple people even tried to explain to her why she wasn't fooling anyone just by hiding here face. She just didn't have the self-awareness to fully grasp things, unfortunately.

Yeah, because of the thousands of years of batshit crazy religious idiocy forcibly imposed by organized hierarchies that actively fought against science and which has left a lasting residue of billions of bonkers believers — a few of whom might adapt their careers to the truth of the scientific method while also acting as apologist stooges for modern day religious insanity.

Read through a random selection of Kent and Joe's posts here and put some serious thought into whether or not they are really an improvement over what is posted in the comments section of Scott Wolter Answers.

Operating in the "new normal" for Kent is a more painful prospect than a permanent ban. He indeed does hear the clock ticking which is why his posts in this thread have become longer and more frantic. On a related note,I took a long look at archived discussions here. I'm sure that it is mere coincidence that identical anti-semitic remarks have been posted here under the names Kent, American Negro and at least two other names in the last three or so years. Surely Kent cannot fault those who are less than confident in his assertion that he has not manipulated multiple aliases to create unnecessary drama.

Not that I really “care,” but the “Gunn” and “biker” thing happened in March 2017.

I haven’t responded to anything about Belazel (I have no doubt that you mentioned him in one of the ten different arguments that you have going on here, but I’m not going through 150+ comments to find out), so you dishonestly shoehorned that into the same sentence with Gunn and bikers to hide the fact that you creepily remember obscure arguments from three years ago. You may want to go with the “notebooks piled around a filthy apartment” explanation. That actually would be less weird than the truth because you’re one sad dude. I’ll let Jim take over from here.

Ironically, this is my first visit here in probably over a year. I was a regular during the America Unearthed days but fell away after the show was canceled. The comments were great when I first found this site but grew steadily more toxic. And I read these here on this article and probably 2/3 of them are infighting, irrelevant and indecipherable to anybody but those directly involved. No newcomer is going to latch on and become a regular to what is presented here. I’m sure the new comments will be far more relevant with all the garbage kept out. That being said, I was already thinking back when I was a regular that having people register was the most obvious fix. I don’t really understand why that has never even been experimented with, but it Jason’s choice.

This is a silly argument. Someone who regularly depends on a single computer and account for all of their online communication is much easier to track down than someone who gets creative in a variety of ways to cover their tracks. How much they can get away with would depend on how creative and ambitious that they are. Not everyone utilizes a single computer and account and not everyone makes a hobby out of manipulating the IP system in various ways. That is why the topic of IP addresses was raised by Mr. Colavito in the first place. That is why moderating posts before they go public is a wise decision under the circumstances. A good one size fits all solution which renders the IP issue irrelevant unless one is fixated on arguing the irrelevant.

I have been moderating these comments since this morning. So far everything is fine. I want to thank everyone for their very thoughtful comments.

Today, March 14, 2020 is not only PI-Day, but it is also the birthday of Giorgio A. Tsoukalos who reaches the age of 42, a number understood to be the very meaning of life.

Kent makes well thought out comments that usually have some important insight. It’s true that he can be a bit brutal when he sees less meaningful posts. I’m honored to have Kent here.

I don't blame you. There are too many weirdos here to actually have a discussion. When I want to talk about your posts I link to them on a small subreddit where I can talk to my friends about them.

Thank you Jason. I have left and returned a couple of times because of the comments of two or three folks who should get in the ring or get in bed together. They need to work that tension off somewhere besides here.

I was one of the posters who stopped posting to this blog because of your blog becoming filled with nothing but people berating other posters and your failure to do anything about it. I do not know if you will post this comment and frankly I do not really care. I do not plan to post to this in the future as I feel that you have nothing new to say. Ancient Aliens is not the only one recycling content.
