Portia's Three Rules of Civility

To all the new readers and commenters (due to the Jay Bennish epic saga), a warm welcome to you.

Here are a few guidelines I have for comments:

1. No profanity. Profanity will most likely get your entire comment deleted, unless the rest of your thoughts are exceptionally brilliant. (Not likely.)

2. When responding to a post or other comments about a controversial topic, please try to remain on topic and address issues, rather than resort to ad hominem attacks.

3. If the desire to insult me regarding my politics, hair, undergraduate school, burns so great within you that you must expell some of the heat, please, take a deep breath, count to 10 and email me, if you must. Otherwise you are not contributing to constructive debate and your comment will be promptly deleted.

That's basically it. Be good citizens of civil society and no one will get hurt.

I do reserve the right to delete any comments I deem inappropriate.

Thank you, and comment away!
Your humble site owner.
