Jake, here's a quick test...

Does the comment contribute anything of value to the conversation?

If it adds something, even by disagreeing with you, I'd allow it.

If it smells like a drive-by, kill it.

If it smells like a troll, kill it.

Your blog is not a democracy. If any comment doesn't seem right to you, for any reason or no reason, you have the right to remove it.
