Comments

In order to keep the discussion civilized and constructive, I decided to create a commenting policy.

I openly embrace all points of view, no matter how little I agree with them; what I will not tolerate however, are:

-Profanities

-Links to other websites or pasted articles unless relevant to comment or post (for exceptions, email me and I’ll decide if I want them published or not. And I’ll do it in an appropriate context)

-Hate statements. My standards for hate statements are slightly different than CNN’s. “Jews want to control the media” and “Islam and Terrorism are not compatible” are NOT considered hate statements on this blog. “Jews are idiots” and “Muslims are Terrorists” are considered so.

-Calling other commentators names

-Posting the same comment (or the same idea in a slightly different format) again and again

Two more things:

-I will not delete large comments but please understand that those are skimmed over quickly due to the volume of the comments. This is why the shorter, more up to the point, the better.

-Anonimity: Please provide names. It will make it easier to communicate with each other. You don't have to have a profile to do so. All you need to do is chose "Other" in the commenting list and put a name or a nickname. You don't even need to put a website.

Let’s hope this forum remains a civilized place for sharing opinions.
