"Be suspicious of all those who employ the term 'we' or 'us' without your permission. This is a form of surreptitious conscription [...] Always ask who this 'we' is; as often as not, it's an attempt to smuggle tribalism through customs."~ Christopher Hitchens, from his 2001 Letters to a Young Contrarian

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 or off topic. 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.
