At least be honest about the fact that you can't handle criticism and aren't willing to engage in a discussion.<BR/><BR/>Here, let me go ahead and fill in your response so you don't have to: "I can handle criticism, Peter (if that is your real name) but I feel no need to respond to the blatant provocations of nameless commenters, who instead of engaging me in a legitimate discussion, prefer to hurl mud while cloaked in the shadows of anonymity."Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14584524734631850816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640358.post-23108365268535504682009-04-08T21:01:00.000-04:002009-04-08T21:01:00.000-04:00Anonymous,In the six years of SLANTblog's existenc...Anonymous,<BR/><BR/>In the six years of SLANTblog's existence, I've previously told three very pushy characters that their comments were no longer welcome. I've been close a couple of other times ... FanGuy is No. 4. <BR/><BR/>In the future any of FanGuy's comments here will be deleted just like so much spam. I'm simply no longer willing to provide a platform for her/his game. <BR/><BR/>No one has a "right" to comment on my blog, so the First Amendment hasn't got anything to do with this. <BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, to vent her/his spleen, FanGuy has her/his own blog and she/he has the comments sections of any number of publishers still willing to offer hospitality.F.T.

While hiding your identity, you've consistently hurled insults at any writers who won't jump on the Baseball in The Bottom bandwagon with you. <BR/><BR/>So, what's the use? <BR/><BR/>With baseball season underway, you've just about worn out your welcome here.F.T.
