We are going to try a new experiment with the blog this summer. We have turned on the comments feature to allow you the reader to add your thoughts and perspectives to the blog content. At the bottom of each blog entry there is a "Leave Comment" option. You will be asked to input some information, including a random code to prevent spam from hitting the comment area, along with the text of your comment.
All comments will be reviewed for appropriateness before posting to the Ungated article page. The blog software does not have the ability to edit comments, and frankly I don't have any interest in doing so either, so what you type is what you get. Please note though that I can and will delete postings that don't comply with 3 very basic rules.
1. Stay on topic - Please ensure that your comments have at least some relevance to the particular blog entry you are commenting on.
2. Be civil - I am interested in different ideas and perspectives, regardless of the source, but comments that contain personal attacks, threats, and uncivil language will be deleted out of hand.
3. Be responsible for your words - If you have something to say then you should be willing to stand behind it. Anonymous comments lack power. If you want to rant and howl at the moon do it in your shower. If you want to engage in a more broad and reasonable conversation please do so here.
