general
We encourage comments. Feel free to disagree provided it is constructive without being offensive.
We moderate comments from new commenters before publishing. Your first comment may take some time to be approved.
If comments are rude, obnoxious, offensive, or otherwise in violation of what we consider generally acceptable, they will be deleted.
Comments that don’t contribute to the conversation, are spam, promotional in nature, or intended for back-link purposes will be deleted.
Use a real name, not a business name, blog name, or nickname when commenting. Failure to do so will likely cause a comment to be marked as spam and then deleted
Do not put a personal website address in the comment text unless it directly contributes to the comment or the conversation. Ignoring this requirement will cause your comment to be marked as spam and deleted.
We reserve the right to edit or remove any links included in a comment at our discretion. If we consider a link to be inappropriate, spam, or otherwise offensive, it will be removed.
Any egregious violation of the above will cause the author to be blacklisted.
The following applies to all comments posted on the website.
