Confidential To Recent Commenter!
Hey, I didn't publish your comment for complicated reasons, but I'd like to hear from you
and try to work something out. I sympathize. Shoot me an email at amolitor@gmail.com if you'd
like to. Or not, it's your choice!
So a regular commenter? What was the general content of the comment? How would the commenter know it wasn't published? There has to be a better way to communicate this...
Not a regular commenter, an anonymous rando venting about a real gripe but in a way I wasn't really ok with publishing. Likely they checked back to see if they'd been published, although they may have bailed in a huff as soon as they saw it would be moderated.
This posting was largely a test to see if they'd spend a moment reading the blog, or whether it was just a one-time drive-by. It looks like it was a drive-by?
Either is was a one-time deal, in which case I don't care at all, or they got their anger out writing the comment and now are in a better place, in which case, good!
I have literally no way to identify anons (like, for example, you) so I have no other way to communicate with commenters. If I decline to publish a comment (as noted, an incredibly rare event) I obviously can't even reply.
Makes sense. I hate a mystery! Must have been a decent rant to warrant the follow up post here, despite whatever controversy you weren't comfortable with. Are we allowed to know the gist? Was it too political?
Every time AM tweets about AI, another photoland idiot publishes a photo book. MAKE IT STOP!!!
ReplyDeleteHow will the person know to come forward? Narrow it down?
ReplyDeleteit's the only non-spam comment I've failed to moderate through in several years.
