I can ho...Bill,<br /><br />Best of luck with the new site! <br /><br />I can honestly say that among the best times here have been the occasional opportunities to respond to the trolls -- control or otherwise -- who have either shown up on their own, or perhaps been assigned here in order to try to muddy the waters. <br /><br />My personal favorite was during the recount fiasco for the seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court -- when one <a href="http://legalinsurrection.blogspot.com/2011/05/kloppenburg-laying-foundation-to.html?showComment=1304804174569#c2427632580978295884" rel="nofollow"><b>JoAnn</b> at May 7, 2011 5:36 PM</a> (NOT frequent commenter <b>"Joanne"</b>) showed up here to lay out the basic argument in support of Ms. Kloppenburg's decision to demand a taxpayer-funded recount, in spite of having little or no chance of prevailing. Responding <a href="" rel="nofollow">to "Joann" was fun</a>. Then there was also <b>Wrisky</b> who showed up on the same thread, and heard back from us! <br /><br />You were obviously getting to them! <br /><br />I have no doubt that during the run-up to the 2012 election, we will all see a concerted effort to dominate the national conversation, and that the supporters of the President will try to make up for what they must see as a failure to get their message through. Part of their response will be to try to ratchet up the debate, will include challenging you and your followers by posting contrarian comments on your blog. <br /><br />It will just never dawn on them that the real problem they have is that their policies are wrong. <br /><br />Speaking of comments, you may have addressed this specifically already, but will your Wordpress affiliation include broader comment formatting function capability? Sure hope so! It's nice to know a bit of <em>html</em> formatting here and there to illustrate one's points. But there are significant limitations on Blogger -- no paragraph indentation, no editing function (other than completely removing a comment).Trochilushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07661310034696479920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-59536065119701280932011-06-17T12:22:14.510-04:002011-06-17T12:22:14.510-04:00All my best wishes for you, Professor... from a st...All my best wishes for you, Professor... from a stay-at-home mom who is not supposed to know much.<br /><br />Since I am already registered on WordPress, I'll be there when you move to your new location! :-)newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11155544274008241733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-15033619849223208712011-06-17T11:48:08.905-04:002011-06-17T11:48:08.905-04:00Moves this large no matter however smooth they go ...Moves this large no matter however smooth they go always come with much technical pain.

But I shifted from being an academic blogger to a partisan blogger, and that's when I had second thoughts about using my real name. I'm up to half a dozen complaints to my workplace about my blogging, and I've now been libeled at the Office of the State Community College Chancellor and the California Attorney General. Must really be over the target.<br /><br />Anyway, I like the "Blogs I Read" blogroll links, especially since I see the hits from "LI" in my Sitemeter and I come back over here to visit.

I was reading Lucianne's site the first year she began. After much hesitation, I decided to register so I could post comments. When I was asked for my "user name," I put my own name never realizing what a user name was. I was scared when I realized what I had done and hardly slept for a week thinking of the horrible things that might happen with my real name out there for everyone to read. Nothing ever did, and I've been using my real name ever since, along with my real picture, too.<br /><br />Congrats on your step forward :~)Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11772310179223546476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-31191892608675697772011-06-17T10:11:52.621-04:002011-06-17T10:11:52.621-04:00Media Temple.

So I look forward to the new blog.<br /><br />Your reviews of judicial decisions, that in some way will affect all of us, are especially appreciated. Clear, concise and no penumbras. If I could ask for anything more, it would be how those decisions stand up to the Constitution itself. I am constantly amazed at the number of the people who are now reading the Constitution for the first time since they left junior high.<br /><br />As to your recent entry into the ranks of those who are politically active, you are not alone. Perhaps the one legacy that Obama will leave is a populace that has become more informed about their own government. I truely believe that had it not been for Obama, there would never have been the creation of the TEA Parties, people would never have looked up from their daily lives of just trying to do the best for their families, to say "Whoa, what are you doing to my government?"<br /><br />So we will travel this road with you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
