      Readers of my personal blog, I'm sorry I haven't produced new material or paid much attention to the comments since Wednesday. The comments have been overrun with cranks and trolls in a way that hasn't happened in a long time, perhaps ever.

      I will deal with this tomorrow and hopefully resume a regular flow of my usual Insolence for the edification of the regulars, who will hopefully drive out the trolls without me having to go on a mass blocking binge.

          Good luck, but in my experience it doesn't work like that. Once trolls and deniers take hold it can be tricky to manage. (I ended up taking stronger action, even relocating some comments to a separate page, for posterity.)

          I’ll just wield the ban hammer in a way I’ve never done before.

          I don't know where your website is hosted, but I got this plugin that will stop spam. I'm not sure if it'll stop trolls.https://wordpress.org/plugins/akismet/ …

          Nope. I have that installed. It’s just for spam.

          As awesome as your blog is, I imagine you probably have one or two more important things cropping up at the moment. 🙂 I wonder if you can delegate some admin features for only comments to any trusted people too, to share the work.
