No more comment moderation

I've decided to stop moderating (approving) comments, after a brief time doing otherwise. It's a burden on me, and an inconvenience to commenters, to have to do this. 

What I hope is that people will stay on-topic as much as possible with their comments, putting comments unrelated to a blog post in an Open Thread. I've just added a new Open Thread. Old ones can be found by clicking on that category in the right sidebar.

I believe in free speech. I also believe that speech should be founded on love, caring, and compassion to the degree us fallible human beings can do this. Life is tough. Life is short. Let's support each other, even when we disagree with each other.

The two are compatible. We should be able to say "I don't agree with you" while also feeling "I love that we have different views and still enjoy each other's company." (either in physical reality or cyberspace)

Fair play Brian - you are bigger man than me and my respect is always there for you!

Just wanted to say that as your post on the Shivinder vs Mohinder World Championship pre- fight conference fight for the unification of the Belts lol - made me think a lot about what was actually at play with a rational mind! And I hope it has forothers who believe in God but are now thinking this is now becoming rather fishy!

Respect Brian

Remarcable , . . after one week or so

I think few of us would support it
And generally most are very honest and feel raped

Also : everybody knows what he/she wants to read or not to read
( would be even easier if the commenter was mentioned at the start )

Plus . . . with this actual very much going in the wrong direction of science
namely DIGITAL , NUMERIC and counting op to 10 ( ten )
and admiring this Brian
you might like scientist be totally mistaken

Real science is analogue and Fibonacci and a little bit of quantum (Schroedinger)
