On Content and Comments

I can't say I've thought long and hard about this, however, this is my first personal online presence (excepting email). I'm going to start by regulating comments on those posts that I have comments allowed, and will be allowing comments on an article-by-article basis. I won't be using this as a tool to censor comments (except for vulgar/offensive comments), but I may use this to keep any post on topic.

This isn't because I don't want feedback, nor is it because I don't want others opinion. This blog is primarly so that I can put my thoughts online. I want to stay on message (however dithered that message may be). Also, I will feel myself needing to respond to many or most comments, and I don't think I will have sufficient time to respond sufficiently, depending on how readership grows.

Is this selfish? Yes. I am selfish with my time. I'm also not willing to share my small space on the internet with others. Maybe I didn't learn anything in Kindergarten. Of course, my opinion on this is not fixed. I'm allowing posts on this article, and definitely want to hear from you if you have experience in this area, and want to share your opinions.
