Please think of the comments as a conversation between individuals and interact with civility.
We will edit/delete spam comments, duplicate comments, unsupported accusations, personal attacks of any kind, and terms offensive to groups when used in a pejorative manner.
In addition, we reserve the right to edit/delete comments that are some combination of pointlessly vulgar, vile, cruel, without redeeming qualities, and an embarrassment to the site.
Subjective? Yes, but we know them when we see them and so do you.
We also ask that you not post comments under multiple names, and it is grounds for immediate banning to comment under someone else's name.
We will also ban repeat or particularly egregious offenders.
Please do not post phone numbers or email addresses in the body of your comment - you cannot assume the good intentions of everyone who reads them.
And please do not post URLs — which may be long and skew the page or the comment sidebar — but make the URL an actual HTML link.
Thanks for your help and understanding.

Unlike most articles on Blogcritics.org, this one does not allow comments.
Why?
The prominence of the "Official Comment Policy" link leads many people to come to this page and forget that they did so, and then they try to comment on whatever page it is from whence they came.
So if you're trying to comment here, chances are very good that you want to hit the "Back" button first.
If you *really* want to comment here, use one of the open comment threads instead.
Thanks!
