“There are persons esteemed on their reputation who by
showing themselves destroy the opinion one had of them.”
- Joseph Conrad, from the ‘Personal Record’
he attached to his novella The Shadowline,
paraphrasing from an essay by Anatole France

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
