SDAP Troll busted!

This may be the only time I link to Catprint in the Mash, but when you pull off a bust this good, it deserves to be recognized.

It turns our that the so-called "Saskatchewan Democratic Action Party" that has made comments in Saskatchewan blogs that include statements about 36,000 members and getting 60% of the vote in the next election is actually just a front for the Heratige Party that got 36 votes in the last by-election and has, like, 6 members province wide.

From now on, following the long established policy of this blog, I will only allow people to post with their real identity if they are using a cover to troll. So SDAP, post under your real name and/or party from now on here.

Sorry SDAP. Post under your real name or not at all.

You want to call me names, fine. You want to attack the NDP, fine. You want to promote your party, fine. But do it under your own name when you are on my blog.

That is all.

(You will note that I did not have a problem with him posting under a screen name before, but when screen names are used to troll then they become unacceptable on my blog)

Oh the oh-so-typical whining about "censorship"

Get over yourself.

I am not censoring you, you are free to post on your own blog (which you don't because no one reads it)

You just can't troll on my blog. That's not censorship. That's just prudent comment managment.

Censorship is the use of the coercive apparatus of the state to block an individual from expressing his or her opinions.

You are free to post on your own blog, you are free to link to my post and refute it (trackback) you are free to post here under your real name.

What you are not allowed to do is troll.

Again, get over yourself.
