Ralph, it's your blog, and I have my own (though I'm not the owner any more), and I completely respect your right to do and say whatever you want on your own site. That said, purely from the perspective of a reader and commenter, I've always enjoyed Maarja's comments, and I don't really understand why you continually rebuke her for, well, using the comment function that you've enabled for just that purpose. Yes, she does tend to go on at some length, but I've found that if you actually bother to read those rambling comments, she's almost always saying something very insightful and useful. I've had a number of really rewarding exchanges with her both here and elsewhere. Finally, I'm not certain why it is that you appear to want to drive off one of the very few people who actually comments here at Cliopatria with the intention of furthering the discussion rather than simply playing gotcha. Mightn't you get more readership if you had more commenters like Maarja?
