Call and Response

I don't moderate comments, yet. I do, however delete comments that are off topic. Or advertising something. Or threatening. Or gossip-y about folks that are not in the conversation. Also, if a comment is borderline I might leave it there, unless it becomes clear that a link provided leads to any of the above types of material on a website.

It's my call. This blog is my experiment. So I get to decide what's going on.

I do not delete comments just because they disagree with me, however. It's more that they are respectful of all other humans (inherent worth and dignity and all that) and that they are relevant to the discussion.

I never thought I would have to explain this, because I get so little traffic, but in honor of those folks who have been deleted, I just wanted to let everyone know the general guidelines for commenting here. On topic, respectful, nothing about someone without them. Hope that's clear.
