Summary
You are welcome to comment. That said, I reserve the right to edit all comments, and to moderate all comment threads, as I see fit.
We welcome comments on this site, which are governed by our Comment Policy. To comment on this site, you must be logged in.
I’m not trolling for email addresses, nor am I trying to restrict comments, I am simply trying to eliminate SPAM without having to resort to the evils of CAPTCHA.
You can can log in with your Name and email address here, or Log In with your Google account – really, I’ve tried to make this is simple as possible, while still ensuring a minimum of SPAM and a high quality of comments. As an added “bonus”, under most circumstances if you use one of these methods, your avatar is associated to the comment (well, some think this is a benefit).
You are welcome to comment. That said, I reserve the right to edit all comments, and to moderate all comment threads, as I see fit. Your comment is more likely to be edited, moderated or deleted if it contains phobic content (based on race, sex, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, etc), is a personal attack or threat toward another commenter, is entirely unrelated to the entry topic, features more than a “fair use” amount of someone else’s copyrighted work, has such poor grammar and spelling that it annoys me, is an obvious piece of trollage, or if I find it or you obnoxious and decide I’ve had enough. Don’t like it? Don’t comment. Simple.
A good rule of thumb is to comment as if the person to whom you are commenting is standing in front of you, is built like a linebacker, and has both a short temper and excellent legal representation.
I like to participate in comment threads. Fire away at me. You need to be aware that I respond to tone as well as content. If you’re polite, I’ll be polite. If you’re a jerk, I’ll be a jerk back. If you argue poorly, I will correct you. Write like a troll, and I will introduce you to the Black Hole.
