Commenting on comments

I was trying to reject a couple comments for inappropriate language, and I accidentally axed about eight at one time. My apologies for the error.

By the way, I reject all comments that include swearing, or daily newspaper-style decoys for swearing like "s%$*" or "f'ing." I'm not a Puritan. I like swearing in most settings, especially family gatherings. But I'm trying to maintain a sense of lofty decorum in the comment section. It's nothing personal.

Unfortunately, there's no way for me to contact commentators if I reject something because I don't have your email. If you're wondering what happened to a comment, feel free to send me a personal email. (And swearing is fine in the emails.)

  1. No fudgin' problem. Shoot happens. Ya gotta admit though, that was some of my better work. The drag racing thing was scathing.

    Keep on keeping on...

  2. Smurfs, my apologies. I actually did shout "Oh fudge!" when it happened.

Thanks for commenting. I moderate comments, so it may take a while for your comment to appear. You might enjoy my book about Flint called "Teardown: Memoir of a Vanishing City," a Michigan Notable Book for 2014 and a finalist for the 33rd Annual Northern California Book Award for Creative NonFiction. Filmmaker Michael Moore described Teardown as "a brilliant chronicle of the Mad Maxization of a once-great American city." More information about Teardown is available at www.teardownbook.com.
