Beginning today, we're going to screen all submitted comments and allow all that are polite and respectful. Comments, whether we agree with them or not, will be welcome and embraced. Arrogance and mean-spirited comments will not be published. Please, challenge our facts or our interpretation of the facts. Offer your own point of view. But don't be rude about it. And don't accuse anyone of anything!
We pledge to you that we will allow all comments that fit within our guidelines.
If you choose not to trust us to make that call and would rather not comment on our postings then we will live with that. We'll continue to try to earn your trust by showing respect for dissent. Critics are welcome; blowhards are not.
Our aim is to foster a comments section where people feel comfortable in jumping in: a civil space where ideas and arguments are respected.
If you have any questions, please refer to the tab labeled: "Terms of Use".
