Question

Is there a way to delete comments? I have one over on my personal blog that I'd like to get rid of.
You know, people are a lot less courteous when they are in a place where you can't get to them and punch their teeth in. Not that I would do anything like that. I don't have enough strength in my hands and arms. Another reason to exercise on a regular basis...

If you're signed in as the blog owner, a little gray trash can icon should appear beside the date down at the bottom of the comment. click on that, then tell it to permanently delete the comment in the dialogue box that pops up.

Here's the faq on deleting comments.

People who get their jollies by insulting people through the safety of the Internet are wimps.

I don't like mean people generally, but at least I can respect someone who brings the bitchiness face-to-face.

Kelly -- Thanks. The little grey ashcan works. The offensive comment is now gone. The jerk in question wished ill in obscene terms to the Edward L. Ryerson, a bulk carrier on the Great Lakes, and to her crew. What could anyone have against a lovely ship and fine members of the Lake Seamen's Union who crew her?

Most likely it's just someone who gets their jollies by spreading stress on the internet, see also "troll." There are tons of them out there. If it were more than that, they'd probably have put more content into the post.
