Reflections on the world from the banks of the Marne

Comments policy

Comments that are insulting, uncivil in tone, or that contain gratuitous obscenities will be deleted. Racism, antisemitism, Muslimophobia, sexism, and homophobia are naturally proscribed, and I have zero tolerance for 9/11 conspiracy theories. And I have less than zero tolerance for the idiotic France-bashing one gets on the American right. I am more likely to respond to comments that are signed with the author’s veritable name.

Oh yes, this too. Comments I consider to be particularly stupid, irrelevant, and/or that reflect that the comment author has not understood what I am talking about risk being sent to the trash.
