A reminder: NA Confidential's comments policy.

Now more than ever, it's time for one of our periodic reminders that while NA Confidential welcomes reader comments, we do not sanction anonymity in the comments section.

Recent newcomers (truth_detector, Old Mrs. Smith, et al): Pen names are perfectly acceptable, but the primary blog administrator must know your identity. It will be kept confidential.

We insist upon this solely to lessen the frequency of malicious and cowardly anonymity, both of which plague certain other blogs hereabouts, and have risen to a fever pitch of irresponsibility in the past few days. Here we have rules, and intend to enforce them; anonymity will result in deletion.

You may e-mail the New Albanian at the address given in the profile section. Thanks for reading, and please consider becoming a part of the community here.

So, how come you and yours post on my blog under anonymous all the time? Who are they afraid of?
And the ridiculous pen names you use are pathetic. You all hide behind the very thing you so vehemently protest.
Doesn't this make you guys anonymous cowards as you claim?
The Pot can't call the kettle black if the same avenues are traveled. Make up your mind.
I'm sure this will wind up on the front page of your pathetic little blog, so let me make this clear...
I'll apply the same rules for you as you have for us. No more anonymous comments will be allowed on Speak Out Loud NA from your little band of brothers unless they use their real names.
Otherwise, find something else to take out your frustration on, and leave us alone.

For one unable to tolerate opposing viewpoints ... for one who has made censorship and double standards such a vital component of her "free speech ... for one with as totalitarian a mindset as we've seen hereabouts ... for one whose rhetorical veins are eternally bulging ... you can sure be funny sometimes.

Please reveal to us your plan for Year Zero in New Albany -- I'm in desperate need of a laugh.

And, no, I'll not censor your appearance here, although a bit more civility next time would be appreciated. The children, you know.

Roger, the egoism and egotism displayed here is beyond belief. As is the paranoia. East Ender truly believes what she's saying.

And she believes she can somehow tell when an anonymous poster is anonymous and when they are using a name legitimately.

Ma'am, we can police ourselves, thank you very much. None of the dozens of CFP affiliates posts on Speak Out Lout. Not one, with the recent exceptions of IDENTIFIED posters. Believe it or don't believe it. If you care to come over and make legitimate comments on a viable, well-managed blog, then I'm sure our group will be happy to engage you.

It's my belief that those postings that disagree with your warped view of the facts are manufactured by you or YOUR friends. It ain't us.

Turn around quickly. You might just get a glimpse of one of your "friends", knife in hand.

Real friends would conduct an intervention. It's too bad she doesn't seem to have any.

I gave up in July, reading or posting. It is a shame that all the trogs want to do is stir the pot!

As Rodney King said, "Why can't we all just get along!"

Any time someone fathoms Year Zero, a subterranean desire escapes,a furtive miasma which demands that society will outlaw money. Given such, how will I pay for my beer?
