That's what I've done on mine on the rare occasions a troll has visited. Then it doesn't matter if they come back or not, I don't see or read the comment, I just empty the spam folder weekly.<br /><br />You have a wonderful blog, whomever is doing this should be ashamed.Rick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978136287154214297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-59229578103884721412014-12-11T03:15:41.876-06:002014-12-11T03:15:41.876-06:00What I mean is that before deleting, you will have...What I mean is that before deleting, you will have to see and read the comment to decide whether it should be deleted or not.<br />I personally think that you are being unnecessarily over-sensitive.<br />Santosh Iyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02555001344865957852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-1345139697904606932014-12-11T02:57:59.542-06:002014-12-11T02:57:59.542-06:00Definitely time to move on.

But this seems to have become very unpleasant and personal. In the years I have been visiting Pretty Sinister Books I have learned a great deal and always found it to be a a very positive and pluralistic place. I can't imagine why anyone would want to allow negative personal comments on their blog - I most definitely would not.
