If you haven't heard yet, The News-Leader in Springfield and 10 local area bloggers have teamed together to present a forum for good, old-fashioned, political discourse.
Aptly named, Ozarks Left and Ozarks Right, both sites have 5 bloggers that are attempting to bring some of our political ramblings to the masses that might not otherwise know who we are.
If you get a chance to hop over and read, hopefully you will get some nice civil discourse and we will be much better behaved than the political idiots we rant and rave about. I'm really counting on the civility from at least the bloggers. I know that there will be readers that will leave snide and nasty comments and do so anonymously. That seems to be the way of things now though. Strike when the iron is hot, and don't leave a trail where someone might be able to track you down.
It is a sad-but-true reality of an on-line existence.
Anyway, head over and let us know what you think about or new blogging digs. Most of us have our own blogs and will continue to post all the junk you have grown to expect out of us.....

It may not completely solve the anonymous posting problem but it would cut down on it if people had to register before posting. They'd only do that a few times before they decided their nasty comments weren't worth registering again just to post them.
Fortunately, the rest of us can have civil discussions while ignoring them. :)
