Following my announcement that I had turned off anonymous comments in response to an uptick in obnoxiously irrelevant comments, I saw another rash of such comments, more noxious than usual. Normally I get a sprinkling of unwanted comments spread across recent posts, and not many, but this was several times the usual volume, and all concentrated on that particular post.
I'm curious whether this was just because the problem commenters had temporarily gained the upper hand against Blogger's filters and were focusing on the most recent post, or because that post used a popular four-letter word for unwanted messages in its title. Which is why I'm specifically not using that word in this post or its title -- or its labels, at least for now. If this post (or the most recent at the time) collects bothersome comments, then it's probably the former case. If they continue to stick to the old post, it would be the latter.
