I have received a few emails this week from faithful Orange Juice readers who don’t think you can comment anonymously on our new blog. Never fear! You CAN post anonymously on this blog. Here’s what you have to do – make up a name and email and post your comment. It will go to our administrators for moderation, so we can filter out comments laden with the “F” word. Unlike the red and blue blogs in town we DO approve 99% of posted comments. (Try to rip Matt/Jubal Cunningham on Red County and see how long your post lasts before the ever-petulant Cunningham deletes it).
Lastly, a big thank you to Sarah Michelle Spinosa, our co-blogger. She has spent weeks working day and night to update this blog to the version you are reading now. I cannot thank her enough. There is no way I could have done all this on my own.
I understand there is some consternation out there, but please be patient. Our new blog format is A LOT more powerful than our old format. It will allow us to do what we do on an even grander scale. Thanks for reading the Orange Juice blog.
Now, now, just why in the Sam Hell would ANYONE want to comment anonymously?
I mean, unless your real name is just so off the wall bizarre, and causes most people so many fits with spelling, and pronouncing, that they flat out refuse to believe that it could be real despite any documented evidence that you can present, and that you could prove the original family spelling in the old country was worse so they should count themselves lucky…. ;-D
Actually, if you have a pecualiar sense of humor, and the perfect screen name to express that, or if your significant other reads this, or any other “issues” oriented blog, and doesn’t know you secretly harbor views different from his/hers, then I say…go for it!
Hee, hee! ;-D
Testing 1, 2, 3.
Holy Moly! It works!
I comment anonymously because I can. I write anonymous where my name would go.
Also testing the ability to post anonymously.
While I am at it, I do not like this new format and system at all. Why mess around with success?
Why mess around with success?
BECAUSE…that’s why, I suppose. ;-D
Look, the 2 Party System was puttering along just fine, thank you very much, with the Dems lording it over whoever the 2nd party of the year was at the time, then the Republicans up, and invented themselves…
eventually leading to a Civil War.
As we know the kinks were eventually worked out, and look where we are today, all those years later!
A Black Democrat could become President.
Um, hee, hee! ;-D
Ms. SMS,
You’ve done a splendiferous job making this site better.
Thank you…
You mean people actually thought my name was anonyms? Hahahahahah
Let me also add my appreciation for the new site. I’ve been having a great time clicking on the blogroll links. If you havent seen Pimp My Hood you absolutely have to go there. Excellent writing and solid thought process.
I wish there was a quick way to go from contributing back to the main blog though, clicking on the back button two whole times is wearing me out. Makes me want to stop commenting, maybe even … naaaaaaa you’ld have to be a real pussy to do that.
On occasion I do post annonymously. Not too often and it is usually if it is sarcastic or something. So, am I correct than an annonymous poster will never be outed.
I really like the changes. Sarah is a great addition as well.
Onward and upward. Here is to O-Juice becomeing the most influential blog in OC.
Andy,
Thanks for the kind words. And yes, you have our promise. We will NEVER out any of our anon commenters, unlike the blue in the face bloggers who like to talk about the importance of privacy, until it is not convenient for them.
BTW, we would like to add a Libertarian blogger from the O.C. to our blog team, if you know of anyone who would be interested, let me know. Thanks!
“Libertarian blogger”?
First you must stop any censure ship for what ever reason you may think it my be justifiable, Mr. Pedroza.
Than you may look for a Libertarian.
I know, I am Libertarian for last 20 years!… Not like you changing parties every five minutes!
hey anonyms, there is a home button on the right margin just below rss feed. took me days to find it but now that I have, ahhhh. No more “back” button.
Ms. SMS, could you make the masthead a “home” link too?
I really like the new format -just a few tweakies here and there and it will be perfect.
