It's pretty simple, juju. Maggie is free to say whatever she likes. I encourage her to write whatever she feels like writing. But she's shown, on a number of occasions, that she has very little valuable to contribute to my weblog - but a whole lot of negative. That's fine, so I asked her to stop - and put her on my ignore list. All seemed well for a while, until she started posting there again - with comments that are designed to provoke a response. Okay. I respect her freedom of speech, but at the same time, I don't need to tolerate it in my weblog.
I don't aim to censor; I am to <b>discourage participation in my weblog</b>. If you want to write, cool! If you want to say I'm a dick, cool! If I think you've crossed the line with something, I'll ask you on numerous occasions to cut it out.
I've taken a hard line stance on deleting Maggie's posts because if I leave any of them, they are obviously not unwelcome. That's not what I want to convey. I want posting in my weblog to be a waste of time to Maggie. <b>That</b> is what I am trying to accomplish. I can't think of a better way (after having asked her several times to lay off the weblog) to do it.
Like I said, she can post her responses in this forum. I've no problem with that, and I have no problem with her saying anything she wants to about me. I politely asked her to keep it out of my forum on a number of occasions, and when she refused, I started removing posts.
