Out of control
I had hoped never to post something like this, but, unfortunately, the time has come for me to set parameters on all future discussions here on Bain-Blog.
Until now, I have allowed individuals to freely discuss topics, even those unrelated to the topic at hand. I was proud of the fact that this blog, unlike others, was a place where discussions and disagreements could take place in an adult manner without the constant cut and paste, disrespectful comments and child-like behavior. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case.
Starting today, all posts must relate to the topic at hand. If not, I will delete it. If this becomes too much of a problem, I will be required to moderate posts, which I really do not want to do. I also do not want to require Blogger registration prior to posting comments, but will implement it if necessary.
Please contact me if you have a topic or issue you would like to discuss. I cannot promise I will create a discussion topic about it, but will give it full consideration.

Excellent decision Bryan! I have noticed for a long time that your blog site had become completely out of hand, well as you describe. Your decision I hope will bring back a more respectful and professional exchange. Thank you.

Unfortunately, I have had to delete several comments, and I don't like it. I encourage those who visit this blog to re-read this post. I will no longer allow comments that are off topic. Anyone can contact me personally and give me their thoughts, suggestions, etc.; I welcome the feedback.
My true colors, as one poster questioned, always have been to listen with respect. Ask anyone who has ever contacted me and I am sure they will back this up, even when we disagreed. I will not, however, allow this blog to be a 'dumping ground' for whatever anyone decides to post.
If you have a suggested topic, please contact me via email or phone. And, if you are going to post a reply, I respectfully ask that you make it on the topic at hand. Thank you.

I agree with the first commenter of Oct. 7, 8:42AM
I'm so glad you've taken control of your blog site. It was becoming a dumping ground for other matters.
Can you block the IP address of posters that are abusing your blog? (And let them start their own blogs!)
