Posting Rules

I have just a few rules that I’ve decided to put into writing here, both to ensure helpful discussions and avoid frustrating people by enforcing undisclosed rules.  My rules are as follows:

1. While hearty debate, disagreement, and argument is encouraged, personal attacks and flagrantly tasteless comments will not be allowed.
2. I reserve the right to refrain from publishing comments that take discussions in directions which which I judge would make discussion impossible or fruitless. 
3. Anonymous comments aren’t allowed.  We’re all friends here, or at least we’re all up front about ourselves here.
