Blogger, or GOOGLE (to quote the raging, anti-legal assistant, Oshawa-hater) in its infinite wisdom does not offer the ability to turn off anonymous commenting but allow for 'Name' and 'Blogger or other ID' options. In other words, if I turn off anonymous commenting, I force you all to sign in.
I do have the option to integrate comments using Facebook accounts, but why? I hate blogs that do that. I want to comment with some protection of privacy. I'm sure you feel the same.
I also don't want to force people to sign in. I feel it's a deterrent. This isn't a newspaper. I don't need people to "own" their comments.
All I can suggest is that we don't feed the trolls. I know it's hard and I sit on my hands too, but if we leave them alone, they eventually get bored and surf away.

Bummer.
Guess this weekend I will be working on my "Don't Feed the Trolls" mantra.

Can we still use the 'imma cut you'? I've been waiting anxiously to pull that one out on a troll, and its so full of awesome!

Hell ya, provided purple rain doesn't beat you to it.
I kinda like the Anon's anyways.
@lswgirl13 I kinda agree actually. If their comments were remotely true I might be genuinely hurt or annoyed, but they are so ridiculous as to be amusing.
