Order, Order....

Now one or two of the comments on TonbridgeBlog have become a little rude, a little threatening and a wee bit too personal. So, at the risk of the blog administrators closing the site down, which I know that not many of you would like, I've had to introduce something which I've always resisted in the four years or so that TBlog has been running: comment moderation; that is to say that I now have to view each commnent before it's actually published, at least for the time being. So when those few bloggers who have been getting a bit carried away with themselves, have calmed down then the facility will be lifted again. I really don't want to use comment moderation because it tends to mean that the blog loses it's immediacy which, after all is part of the point of it. What issue has prompted this action being taken? Is it the great political debate in the run up to a close fought general election? Is it some timeless, unanswered philosophical issue? Is it Christianity versus the other religions of the world that has got their goat? Football even? No it's a book shop closure and a charity shop opening! As the new Speaker of the House of Commons might say: everyone just needs to calm down, I'm worried about you!...
