It's not even that I mind the trolling per se, but my God, if you're going to troll, at least have the decency to come up with an amusing handle. I don't want this to turn into a sea of anonymous commenters spewing invective.
To that end, and I hate to do it, because I know that some legitimate commenters will be shut out by this, but effective at this moment, only registered users of Blogger will be permitted to comment. I'm going to look into less arcane, earth-salting measures once things have settled down after the festival.

Just a few rules so that everybody can have fun: ad hominem attacks on the blogger are fair; ad hominem attacks on other commenters will be deleted. And I will absolutely not stand for anything that is, in my judgment, demeaning, insulting or hateful to any gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religion. And though I won't insist on keeping politics out, let's think long and hard before we say anything particularly inflammatory.
Also, sorry about the whole "must be a registered user" thing, but I do deeply hate to get spam, and I refuse to take on the totalitarian mantle of moderating comments, and I am much too lazy to try to migrate over to a better comments system than the one that comes pre-loaded with Blogger.
I agree with your Orwellian like control of comments! Only those with enough balls to post with an unrecognizable screen name need apply!
