Freedom of commenting...

My fellow Readers, our wonderful nation is under attack from those who seek to destroy our freedom. Our enemy will stop at nothing while our children breathe, and fruits of our labour don't crumble in flames. Our mission is clear.

We are hunting down the terrorists. We are helping our former adversaries to build a free nation that is an ally in the war on terror. We are advancing freedom in the broader scheme! We will not bend, we will not falter, and at nothing will we stop to pursue this adversary, because we are free nation, and God is on our side.

We are removing a source of violence and instability — and laying the foundation of peace for our children and our grandchildren. The terrorists know that the outcome will leave them emboldened, or defeated. So, they are waging a campaign of murder and destruction. And there is no limit to the innocent lives they are willing to take.

The lesson of this experience is clear: The terrorists can kill the innocent — but they cannot stop the advance of freedo--

"Excuse me, sir, but you have the wrong speech. This one is for increasing military funding and passing bills that will destroy people's freedom and privacy..."

Oh, right. Damn. Errr...

My fellow Readers, our wonderful blog is under attack from those who seek to get us purchase v14-gr@, and Alaska snowmobile tours, and other people sitting on our faces. Our enemy will stop at nothing while the number of comments is not skyrocketing, and our old one-eyed trouser snakes slump in shame. Our mission is clear.

We are locking out the spammers. We are helping the pink and fluffy creatures to build a free nation that is an ally in the war to preserve freedom! We are advancing freedom in the broader scheme! We will not bend, we will not falter, and at nothing will we stop to pursue this adversary, because we are a free community, and VO is on our side.

We are removing a source of credit card frauds and identity thefts — and laying the foundation of peace for our children and our grandchildren, so that they can surf the Internet free. The spammers know that the outcome will leave them emboldened, or defeated, and with endless stocks of viagra, which they can't use because they can't get laid... So, they are waging a campaign of spamming and phishing. And there is no limit to the money they are willing to take.

The lesson of this experience is clear: Those bastards can spam all they want — but not here. Dear readers, as is often the case, in order to preserve your freedom, I need to take it away. :-P

As a result, I am forced to require people logging in, before being able to post comments. Sorry for that, I hope it's not too inconvenient for you. It should only take two seconds, and cause no delay if you stay logged in.

Special account and username on Blogger are not needed, as far as I know, and I'm sure pretty much everyone has at least a secondary google account they can use to authenticate the comments, so I believe that this won't cause much difficulties for you, and won't deter anyone who doesn't offer v14gR@ from commenting. :-D

It's my fault for posting some links pointing here on frequented places, such as last.fm. It's no big deal though, and as my blog is indexed by google, it would happen eventually anyway. Still, I wanted to keep this open for as long as possible, and that time has gone, if I want to keep this place clean. In your face, terrorists!
