A NOTE TO READERS AND COMMENTERS
1. There are rules of civility that need to be observed when commenting online.
2. Posts that engage exclusively in ad hominem attacks will be blocked.
3. As the gatekeeper of this blog, I have allowed lots of commentary that included heaps of personal abuse against me. I have allowed this, on occasion, when the post, nevertheless, offered commentary on the subject being discussed. That’s what commenters need to remember. You are free to attack the ideas all you want. You are NOT free to attack persons.
4. Finally, keep your comments brief. Long-winded comments may be shortened by the moderator, or they might not be published at all.
