Comments policy

Comments that are insulting or uncivil in tone will be deleted. Racism, antisemitism, Muslimophobia, sexism, and homophobia are naturally proscribed, and I have zero tolerance for 9/11 conspiracy theories (or conspiracy theories of any sort for that matter). If one makes a contradictory comment with the aim of provoking a debate, I will ask that one sign with his or her veritable name (i.e. no handles or pseudonyms). I reserve the right to edit comments, for spelling and other errors, and/or if they contain gratuitous language that displeases me.
