HFFT comment policy change

When I set up comments to be moderated on this blog, it was to block spammers, not to censor free speech.

Recently, Russell Bennett, the director of the democrat state senate campaign, libeled me in comments here by calling me a prostitute. I spoke to my attorney and was advised to notify Bennett to retract the comment, which he did. Within a matter two days after his retraction, he basically restated his opinion that I am a prostitute. His comment brought realms of the internet underbelly who have no constructive purpose here whose comments I allowed to be published, in the name of free speech.

While readers who voluntarily come to this site, may not like the news linked and discussed here, the opinions are not authored anonymously. You are expected to do the same.

As of today, I will no longer publish anonymous remarks from individuals about my character unless those remarks contain a first name, last name, email, and city of residence. If you have issue what is published here or with me, you can say it, but not while hiding behind a cloak of anonymity. You will do it with your full identity exposed, for if it is libel, you will be slapped with a lawsuit.

Readers are still permitted to critique anonymously as long as the information is about a candidate seeking public office or the ideologies discussed here.


Anyone is welcome to privately email the blog hoosiers.for.fair.taxation@gmail.com if you take issue with my character or the content of the blog.
