Read the Rules of the House, People

Specifically, the Rules on the Right Side of this Blog.

(Stickied for a bit. New content will be found below this post.)

Rule 1: Don't be a jerk.

Rule 2, in part: Play nice.

The discussion in a couple recent comment threads has been getting heated. One was just nasty and I removed that comment.

I encourage my readers to debate, but I insist on this: It will be done without personal attacks. I know that's easy to fall into, hell, I've done it. But that's still not right and it's not how I want to run things.

But let's be clear on this: I am saying all this to forestall a problem, not correct one. "Nip it in the bud", if you will.

The frequent commenters on this blog, liberal, conservative and inbetween, have proven themselves to be intelligent and thoughtful people.

I would be proud to have a drink with any of you.

Thank you for visiting.

House Rules #1, #2 and #6 apply to all comments. Rule #3 also applies to political comments.

In short, don't be a jackass. THIS MEANS YOU!
If you never see your comments posted, see Rule #7.

All comments must be on point and address either the points raised in the blog post or points raised by commenters in response.
Any comments that drift off onto other topics are subject to deletion.

(Please don't feed the trolls.)

中國詞不評論,冒抹除的風險。僅英語。

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
