Comments Policy

Comments are important means of stimulating debate, learning other points of view, criticizing what is going on or being said, praising someone who deserves it, and keeping in touch with the community. While it doesn't always need to be polite or phrased nicely, a comment should contribute to a community discussion. It should not be seen as an opportunity to attack someone personally. This shuts down debate and splinters community.

All comments are approved before they are posted. Each will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. These are some of the ground rules:

1. Anonymous Comments: For the moment I will allow comments to remain anonymous. Most of the time there is no valid reason for someone to wish to remain anonymous, and I would encourage people to sign their names. It seems cowardly for someone to sharply criticize a person without being willing to identify her/himself. But in some cases, there may be a valid reason for anonymity. If there are further efforts to orchestrate anonymous comments to further a political objective I will change this policy and require everyone to register before making a comment.

2. Personal Attacks: These are not permitted. It is fine to speak out against a public official or criticize me or someone else, but the emphasis should be on constructive criticism. Giving reasons why you think someone is wrong is fine, but calling people names is not. One objective in this blog is to encourage debate, and name-calling and personal attacks produce the opposite result.

3. Libel: I will not post libelous comments. While public figures do not enjoy quite the same protection against libel as the rest of us, they have rights. If you do not know what libel is, I would refer you to the Wikipedia Encyclopedia (google it in), where you can find a great, readable article about it.

4. Campaigning: This is not a forum for candidates to use as campaign vehicles. Candidates are welcome and even encouraged to participate in the discussion, as well as people favoring causes, but they should stick to the issues.

5. Be factual: If I see serious factual errors in your comments I will not post them. If you submit as fact a statement that cannot be verified, I will not post it. This is not a forum for spreading rumors.

6. Be Brief: I have posted some rather lengthy pieces and have edited others, and I will deal with this on a case-by-case basis. I don't have a word limit, but please be as brief as possible.

7. Grammar: Incoherent comments will not be posted.

8. Profanity: This is not allowed.

9. Retractions: Should a retraction be necessary I will evaluate whether to remove the posting entirely or explain the reason for the retraction at the beginning of the piece.

10. Privacy: This site does gather standard personal information about users in the course of recording statistics on the number of daily visitors to the site. That information includes IP addresses, internet service provider, type of operating system, and internet browser used, screen resolution and color depth, language, and the pages the user visited on this site. I take privacy seriously and will not share users' personal information with any third party, except as required by law.

11. Third Party Links: users of this blog agree that this site and its owner are not responsible for any damage, injury, or loss that results from interaction and transactions between the user and web sites the user visits by clicking on links to this site.
