comments policy

1. Comments are the lifeblood of blogging. Please do.
2. Criticism and dissent are welcome, in direct proportion to their thoughtfulness. In other words, constructive and well-thought out arguments are delightful even if I disagree with them, shouting and trolling is not worth my time reading nor your time typing.
3. Commenters are people. Apart from the occasional spam robot, everyone who comments is another person. Respond to their comments with this in mind.
4. This is my blog.  I reserve the right to delete comments and ban commenters if I see fit.
5. Commenting requires an email address. Be aware that WordPress stores these email addresses and that I can access them. I will not pass on your email address to anyone else, and I will only use it to respond to you personally if I need to. I won’t send you any unsolicited email.
