Apparently it's time to restate the comments
policy.
We've been getting a lot of really inflammatory comments lately with fake email addresses designed to get around this blog's authentication system. Don't waste your time. You should know that isn't going to succeed.
On the other hand, we really like to publish critical comments on this blog. We want you to take your best shot and fire away.
Let me state our comments policy.
The blog is our property, and we have the right to set whatever comments policy we wish, and to inconsistently enforce the policy if we choose.

Let me state our comments policy.
- Comments are moderated. They do not automatically show up on the blog--they have to be accepted before publication. And the software will not even accept for submission comments without an email address that at least appears legitimate.
- So long as you give an accurate email address, our bias is to liberally allow comments, including those that we disagree with. We're happy to have a vibrant debate here.
- Comments with fabricated email addresses will almost never be allowed for publication, regardless how how interesting or well-written they are.
