Mike was gracious enough to email me and let me know my comments were broken. Oops.
I’ve had HUGE issues with referer spam. Basically, unethical search engine marketers write scripts targeting certain blogs (based on the software they use) to get referer hits. Even though I’ve taken public stats off, I”m still in their system. My server stats are completely useless because of this.
So I did some techie stuff and made it so very few of them can get through… but I accidentally did something that caused a glitch when comments were submitted.
So, if you got a 403 Forbidden error message, please accept my apology for you not being able to comment. You took the time to write it, and it certainly wasn’t my intention to block any human being from commenting.
So, please comment now if you want. And also, many of you downloaded my “A Different Kind of God” chapter, and you’ve been unable to comment. I really, really, really want to know what you have to think about my work.
comment spam sucks

Thanks Sarah
The wonderful feeling of comments coming through again. I was beginning to get a complex.
I also installed new stats that work off the pages rather than the server, so I know I’ve had a TON of visitors the past few days, but no comments. I was like… who am I pissing off that I can’t get any freakin’ comments?
