Behavior

It is very simple, behave with civility towards one another.   I do not expect everyone to agree with what I post or the position of another commenter; actually I hope that we don’t always agree, as healthy debate is good for everyone.  I would ask that you treat one another with a level of respect even when you don’t agree.  I will monitor the comments and if need will cut out portions that I feel do not comply with the spirit of  ‘civilized behavior’.  Also, I want to make sure that no one is offended by anything they might read on the site, so please keep that in mind when making posts.

Registration

You currently do not have to register to participate in this site.   When attempting to post it will ask you for a name, which you can be real or an alias (either is fine).  It will also ask you for an email address and this is to help me avoid the site being filled with spam comments.  The first time you post I do have to approve your ability to comment, but each time after that when you use the same user name and email address your comments will be added automatically.

Copyright
