Feedback now has to be authenticated 2 Jun 2008 The snivelling little boy, Mats Envall, who thinks that walking into someone’s living room and pissing on the floor is acceptable behaviour, has forced me to make comments require my manual authentication. I am sorry for the rest of you, but we are up to 122 spams from the idiot. Those who routinely comment I can mark as authenticated in general using IP numbers, so that might take the sting off it. So far we have been relatively civilised here – I’m sorry that this troll has made things less pleasant for you all. I bet this is how Envall got his paper published, by effectively bullying the editors into accepting the very badly written and argued paper that started all this.

Don’t you have a killfile? PZ has been consigning spammers and other wise obnoxious and destructive commenters to the dungeon for quite a while. It would certainly be a lot less work.
Does having a comment approved and posted on Evolving Thoughts qualify a person as an Elite Bastard? I hope so. That way I don’t need sit the Elitist Bastard examinations.
For some reason, the junk filters don’t work on my site, and the wanker was banned, but he tried to evade that ban by nymshifting and putting nonsense email addresses in (130 now, and still rising!). I will try to approve you all but Movable Type doesn’t seem to like my configuration. And yes, you are all Elite Bastards.
