Commenting Policy

January 23, 2009

hamilton-burr-duelThis site exists for the purpose of advancing debate and understanding of any number of issues.  Perhaps no principle is more essential to this purpose than the basic concept of civility.  Although we recognize that there can sometimes be a fine line between honest but passionate debate and outright ad hominem attacks, we reserve the right to delete comments that do not appear aimed at advancing the relevant discussion.

In general, a comment will be deemed inappropriate if it makes no attempt to address a point germane to the original post or another comment and instead contains nothing more than a blanket personal attack directed at the author or another commenter will be deleted.

Additionally, comments that are blatant spam will be deleted.  Repeated violations of the commenting policy may result in a ban of the commenter’s IP address.  Anonymous commenters may be subject to particularly close scrutiny.
