Below is a list of the types of comments which are subject to being edited or deleted:

1) Personal attacks.

2) Profanity or vulgarity.

3) People who want to endlessly carp over tiny points.

4) Comments which advocate, suggest, condone, justify, or imply support for violence.

5) Comments demanding that I post/not post on the commenter's favorite subject, as opposed to comments on the subject itself.

6) People who stray too far from the issue being discussed.  I'm pretty tolerant of this, but it has limits.

7) People who make potentially libelous statements. This includes statements about ex-wives or ex-husbands which use their last names.

8) Derogatory comments about people's looks.

9) Comments whose main purpose is commercial advertising or solicitation. This can include comments whose purpose is to promote one's own business or organziation.

10) People acting based on a personal grudge instead of the issue at hand.

11) Nazi/Hitler analogies, use of "feminazi," "Nazi," etc. to describe opponents. To learn more, click here. Likening opponents to the KKK is also discouraged.

12) Racial insults or derogatory names for ethnic groups, gays & lesbians, etc.

13) Suggestions that groups of people be deprived of their civil rights.

14) Publishing under multiple names or pretending to be someone else.

Sincerely,

Glenn Sacks, MA
