Comments on this site are now moderated. We've taken this step after our site was hit by spammers, both those of the garden-variety web-'bot sort and local Republican trolls.
For those who are going to denounce this decision as a violation of free speech, I say pardon my French, but au contraire. This is not a public forum, it is our own private corner of the Internet. You no more have carte blanche to post anything you want here than we have to barge into your homes uninvited and try to persuade your children that Republicans are evil. If you, whoever is reading this, don't like the way we run our site, you can plunk down $4 a month and get your own site. Or you can even sign up for free for a page on Blogspot. But this site (along with the parent Turn DuPage Blue domain) is our home; you are a guest here, and we expect you to behave accordingly.
We apologize to any legitimate commenters out there. If you are someone who's worked with O:TDB, contact us and we'll add you as a poster to this site. Otherwise your comments will need to wait for a moderator to approve them.
As for the Republicans who spammed their attacks into a whole slew of threads, we may post a response to your allegations once we've verified the relevant facts. For now, we'll just take it as a sign that DuPage Republicans, or at least some of them, are getting very, very worried. As they should be.
