We're considering our options. We haven't been able to figure out what the impetus is for people pretending to be other commenters or pretending to be writers or editors of this blog. We don't have psychology degrees. Sometimes the perpetators post totally non-offensive non-disagreeable things while pretending to be someone else, but it's still at its core, disgusting and dishonest behavior, intended to mislead even in the times when it isn't intended to offend. The reason we have never forced user registration is we didn't want to set up an obstacle to reader engagement and we hate it, ourselves, when we have to "log in" to our own favourite websites. It's so easy to forget passwords and the like. But perhaps we should do that? Thoughts? Would you register to the site in order to have commenting privileges? Or perhaps a pay wall where only patrons of the site can comment? Maybe that's the solution.
