A station break:
This is a reminder and clarification of the Commenting Policy here at Blog-Lebo. When opinions are running hot and heavy, commenters are sometimes prone to taking a shortcut here or there with respect to our bedrock principle:
Sign your full name.
If you post a comment and it doesn't appear on the site, then it is almost always the case that you haven't identified yourself adequately.
If you have a Blogger profile and log in to Blogger before commenting, that will do fine -- so long as your Blogger profile is displayed publicly. A couple of people submitted comments recently under "private" Blogger profiles, and they are in the process of changing their Blogger settings so that everyone can see who they are.
Some folks have taken to signing their first initials and last names (and in one or two cases, first name and last initial), and we've published those comments, because we know who you are.
But it's time to restore some consistency and tighten things up just a bit:
When you comment, please post your full first name and your last name. Typing your full name at the bottom of your comment is fine. Even if you've commented previously under a short form of your name, we're likely to reject new comments that aren't posted under your complete names.
Thanks for your understanding. We'll now resume regular programming, already in progress.

Post a Comment
PLEASE NOTE: On Blog-Lebo, we do not publish anonymous comments. You must put your name to your words. Include your full name in the text of your comment (usually at the end), and you’ll be fine. Or post from a Blogger account having a public profile that includes your full name. Either way will work. But if you don’t include your name, or if we have reason to believe the name on your comment isn’t authentic, we will not be able to publish your comment.
Why must I use my full name?
When you post a comment on Blog-Lebo, you are making a public statement. Therefore, we require that you accept responsibility for your words. Just like at a public meeting of the school board or municipal government, when you stand to speak on Blog-Lebo, you must state your full name. That way, everyone will know who is speaking, and you will know that you’re responsible for what you say.
