Comment Policy

This site welcomes all comments and conversation.  We believe in conversation, debate, discourse, and education through comments -  from people who are not afraid to let you know who they are.

Here are the basic rules:

1. This blog will not accept anonymous comments or fake e-mail addresses with fake names or anonymous comments with fake e-mail addresses. If you have something to say (and rest assured you don’t have to agree with me), then you should be able to put your name behind your statements.
2. No abusive comments will be published. If a good comment is buried in abusive language, then we may redact the offensive language and publish with a notice the comment was redacted.
3. We will not publish links within comments unless the links enhance the comment and the conversation.
4. We reserve the right to close comments if they wander away from the content of the original post.
5. An ISP identified as abusive will be blocked.
