Some of you have already noticed that the “LEAVE A COMMENT” box has disappeared from the bottom of our posts today. I had to take it away because I just didn’t like some of the feedback I was getting on my grumpy-about-the-Oscars post yesterday. Sorry, but that’s just the way it has to be from now on.
No, no, that’s not it at all! I actually love to “listen” to everyone talk in this blog forum, sometimes especially when you don’t agree with us. It’s a healthy thing to talk it out, to even argue sometimes. We all learn things along the way, that’s for sure.
So here’s what’s really happening. Across all of the ministry’s websites, Focus on the Family has decided to roll back the ability to post anonymously. There are quite a few reasons for that, but the one I personally like a little bit is that when folks sign up for an account—a name in a sometimes fiercely faceless online world—it helps build a sense of community.
I know it’s a bit of extra work on the front end. But it shouldn’t take you more than a minute or two, and we’re not going to be asking for your bank’s routing numbers in the process. (We’ve made it even simpler and easier than it was before.) So go ahead, grab yourself a personal profile, and we can all get back to the business of conversing. And if you’ve grown to love the “Anonymous” label so much, then name yourself “Anonymous2497.” As soon as you do that, you’ll see the comment box reappear and it’ll feel just like the old days again!
