Blog Comment Policy

• This Blog encourages diverse opinions, energetic conversations and rigorous debate.
• Please remember, this Blog reserves the right to delete comments deemed to be homophobic or racist in nature. Such comments will be deleted ay my discretion.
• Harassment, stalking or threatening our fellow community members will not be tolerated.
• Please keep comments relevant to discussion.
• Abuse of the rules will result in the offender being banned. I don’t have the time or the interest in babysitting adults.
• Comments containing a link or hyperlink are held for moderation in order to reduce Spam. If your comment contains a link, it will not immediately appear.
• I don’t have an assistant or an editor. Every now and then a comment gets erroneously identified as Spam by Akismet. Due to the volume of comments I receive, I don’t always immediately retrieve a comment from Akismet’s reach. If you think your comment got lost, please email me and I will look into it.
• One last comment. I have resisted requests to implement a comment policy but following the 2008 election, and as the traffic on this Blog increased exponentially, I was forced to deal with abusive behavior from posters not interested in acting like adults. Please remember; this is my Blog and a comment policy is now the rule of law.
