Forced into comment moderation

I am so miff right now. Some random, frakkin' idiot posted a comment that had a link which I accidentally clicked via the silly touchpad on this laptop and I almost ended up installing a spyware thingymabob because of it. I am so pissed off by this. It's just rude and mean and unnecessary.

I couldn't just remove the comment because I didn't have comment moderation enabled and I ended up deleting the entire post because of it. Fortunately it was a short post. But now I feel as though the only way I can prevent this from happening in the future is by screening posts. I really don't like comment moderation because I like the immediacy of posting comments without waiting for moderation but this a-hole has forced my hand. I'm just generally upset about the whole thing. Apologies to everyone who posts here for the now enabled moderation. It's a pity it had to come down to this because of some random person. Meanwhile I've reported the knool to Blogger. Hopefully they'll take him /her down soon.

PS: Okay, after a chat with Joseph I've decided to disable moderation again but to also prevent search engines like Google finding my blog. Hopefully this will prevent anything like this happening again. If it does happen again though, I'm going to have to remove the blog from the blogger listings as well. But anyway, boring admin stuff. Moving on swiftly.
