Duplicate Commenting

Folks, please comment on a post only once. I do realize that this platform occasionally throws the commenter an error message, but I am getting those comments on my end. 
And keep in mind that I do moderate my comments due to spam and trolls, and while I really try to stay on top of it, your comment is not going to immediately appear on the post unless it pops up as I'm moderating. Every time I moderate, I see where somebody has left the exact same comment 2, 3, and even more times. Hell, not too long ago, somebody left the same comment 13 times, one right after another. He must've really wanted his message to be heard.
 There's times it seems like I spend more time deleting out duplicates than I do approving comments. 

And as long as I'm on the subject, lay off the caps. It does nothing but irritate the fuck out of me, thinking I'm getting yelled at. I've got one reader that comments ALMOST every DAY and EVERY other WORD is IN CAPS. 
Lighten the fuck up. You can get your point across without yelling.

  1. Maybe he’s to ignorant to know that CAPS are the equivalent of yelling😹

    1. I've replied to his comments MULTIPLE times TELLING him SO and HE doesn't SEEM to Get it.

  2. Here is the deal folks. I think I know why you are posting more than once. When it says publish hit it once. Above you will see. Your comment will be visible after approval. Trust it. Then in the upper left hand corner hit the arrow and you will return to this site, page whatever it's called.

  3. I don't always click the box to get replies.
    I do use caps on some words and some first letters.
    I have not gotten a reply to my comment that said
    Ease up,dude.

    If it's me you're not happy with, say so.
    I'm just a guest and not interested in upsetting anyone.

    1. Nope, I don't mind caps on a word or two, not at all, I just don't like 10 words in caps in a single comment.

  4. Maybe he's hard of hearing and wants you to yell back at him. And I apologize if I have hit the publish button more than once.

  5. The simple fact that there are so many stupid folk in the fusa now-a-days that we just keep on seeming to be getting smarter . I had a retarded friend when I was a kid . Big Gary Bentley . He was 6 foot 4 and around 260 pounds when he was 15 years old . I loved my buddy ! He would tell me " You Smaht Bobby William " . Big Gary would beat hell out of the hood rats when they fucked with me . He was a tard but I loved him . Tard lives matter , heh .

  6. It's so tempting to be an asshole and post, "What ARE you TALKING about?!" several times.

    But I like you, so I won't.

    1. To be honest, I've been expecting a shitload of comments all in caps since I posted that.

    2. Y'AH NEEDS TO START BANNING THE MO'FOs WHO CAN'T BE RESPECTING YO AUTHORITAY! ZERO TOLERANCE KENNY! C'MON NOW!

      ummm... now hold on just a second there... that's not really what i meant to say... (does * this * blog allow you to ban individuals anyways?)

  7. I too was tempted to type a comment now in all caps but that is a pet peeve of mine as well. I really think some people don't get it and on a few emails from folks in all caps, when I reply back and ask if their caps lock button is broken, they don't get it!

    Oh, I can't help myself - HELLO MR. LANE - LOVE YA!

    1. curses, I was going to do the exact same thing but you beat me too it. Now I have to resort to an AOL style "me too". It's always best to read through the comments first.

  8. In addition, I'm asking that some of you lighten up on the language. A lot of the comments are thought-provoking, but I can't send them to my maiden aunt or some of my very/more religious friends; they're easily offended {moreso by the (p)Resident and his group of useful idiots sitting in Congress} and will stop reading before they get to the important point you're making.

  9. I accidentally posted 3 times, once.
    What caused the additional posts wasn't me thinking it didn't post or I didn't hit post... whatever.
    It happened when I hit the back button instead of just scrolling down and tapping the home button.
    If you use the back button a lot, as I do. Close the tab and open a new one back on the home page.
    Maybe a extra step or 3, but you'll post only once.

    1. oh oh.... didn't know that about the back button... Thanks. apologies if I jazzed up the comment queue.

  10. I hope I'm not guilty of this, but after making a comment and then hitting Publish, the page will do some sort of update, but Publish is still visible and active. I can easily see where there might be problems.

  11. As an addition to my prior comment, when you hit the back button the comment again displays along with publish again. It's a blogspot problem apparently.

  12. Also, I just remembered years ago my older brother always wrote in caps. Once I showed him the font control he didn't any more. He couldn't see and had no idea the font could be made bigger.

  13. Maybe some of us have a really bad stutter! Stuttering lives matter! Bwahahaha!

  16. Man, I know how much work you must put into this blog. And all for the benefit of a small community of like minded folks. Over the past year or two, there have been several blogs I follow that have just up and quit; some due to death (Ol Remus) and some due to just being tired or uncertain about the future.

  17. It's not unusual for me to post ONCE, but multiple copies post (usually 3) on several of the Blogger sites including this one. I think it ties into the interaction with the security features of the browsers (does it with all 3 of my browsers).

  18. Do they count as duplicates if each voice in my head tells me to do it again?

  19. Now I know the post you've been speaking of. Good thing I am catching up.

  20. Mister Wirecutter,
    .
    I appreciate your enormous contribution to my day!
    The amount of dedication you invest to publish a free blog is truly humbling.
    I honestly doubt I would have your perseverance.
    .
    I certainly know I lack your patience with nincompoops doing nincompoopery.
    .
    And writing this, I realize I might say this more often to more folks...
    .
    .
    s,
    An Admirer
