Comment Moderation

We are now moderating all comments. The editors insist that you be civil and that you stay on topic. Use of impolite language is strongly deprecated. For the guidance of contributors, we are working on more extensive rules that may clarify our thinking.

People who threaten or insult moderators, or who regularly are not civil, may find that their submissions are systematically sent to the trash without further ado.

A few thoughts: Personal attacks on other writers are not allowed. Personal attacks on moderators will likely lead to suspensions or bans. If you want to disagree with another poster, consider quoting to make clear what you are responding to.

As an imaginary example, you might write

James Smith wrote “The first national convention of the National AnarchoFascist Party had five members in attendance.”

As a minor correction, there were actually four members and the Supreme Leader’s current boyfriend, who emphasized that he is a card-carrying Maoist.
