Comment Policy

In our comment section and forums, we expect thoughtful and respectful conversation. We want a welcoming environment where the objective is to seek truth, not to score points or win victories. To help support these goals, we expect the following from all participants:

• Keep your comments respectful and kind.
  The following are never acceptable: profanity, personal attacks, insults, insinuations, degrading comments, self-promotion, baiting, bullying, or any other forms of disrespect.

• Discuss the specific post or article at hand.

• Be brief and stay on topic.

• Proofread what you wrote before you submit it.  ("Write not so that you can be understood, but so that you cannot be misunderstood.")

• Listen to and to respond to each other; don’t just get on your own soapbox.

• Acknowledge other people’s thoughtful points, even if you reach different conclusions.

​​

Posts will be actively moderated to facilitate a thoughtful and respectful conversation. Any comments that do not support these goals may be removed, and repeat offenders may be blocked from further posting.
