		<description>@Bob
My definition of valid has always been "something that adds to the discussion." I attract some pretty strange people, and there are some pretty useless comments stored on my blog. I don't think it benefits anyone to let people post off-topic comments. Do you think it is a good thing to have the discussion go off on a tangent so that when people are searching for information on Google they come to your site and get taken on a wild goose chase? I welcome different opinions as long as they're on topic. After all, you can't have a discussion without different ideas.

Reading through the first paragraph again, however, I noticed an unintended nuance (which is probably what alarmed you), so I have updated it.

You've already been banned. I don't know how your comment got through. :P</description>

		<description>Back in September &lt;a href="http://kansasbob.blogspot.com/2007/09/comment-moderation.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;you said this at my place&lt;/a&gt;

"I don't censor valid comments."

From your policy it seems that your definition of valid might have changed since September.

Apart from an occasional spammer I have never found the need to delete a comment from either of my blogs. I like diversity of thought and find that a good debate only serves to either make me stronger in my opinion or cause me to realize the folly of it.

I truly don't like moderated comments.  Have you had a bad experience in which you found.. in hindsight.. the need to moderate? Maybe if I have one I might rethink my position on this.

I wonder if you will moderate this comment into the trash? :)</description>
