COMMENTS POLICY
We have noticed that some other blogs have a clearly publicised comments policy, and Louise and myself, who share in most of the admin of this blog, decided this was a good idea.
It is not censorship to have some moderation and editorial control.
Comments policy
We will delete racist, homophobic, sexist, and derogatory comments about people with physical disabilities or mental distress. Comments will also be deleted that are offensive and insulting about individuals. We will also delete comments by “trolls”, i.e those people whose purpose is to impede debate and who post comments with no regard to the subject matter of debate but whose sole purpose and intention is the baiting of other people
In addition, comments that are disrespectful of Elvis Presley will be deleted.
We expect comrades to behave in a comradely and fraternal way and to treat each other with respect. We will moderate comments in a way that a Chair moderates a meeting.
Bad behaviour stifles debate. It infringes upon others right to freedom of speech.
