forgeries at TheSomervilleNews.com

[ron_newman]

One or more people are forging my name and e-mail address on comment posts at TheSomervilleNews.com -- both to say things that I would not say, and to falsely repudiate things that I did say. This is very annoying. I post to a number of other bulletin boards and blogs, but this does not happen to me anywhere else except at The Somerville News.

If anyone here has friends who contribute to The Somerville News, perhaps you can suggest to them that the site needs some elementary security?

Comments

James Norton has finally apologized to me and unpublished the three comments which I told him were forgeries.

However, he still claims that the newspaper's attorney has told them they can do only one of two things: (1) run the current comment system with no logins, or (2) not have a comment system at all. That makes no sense to me.
