Comment Policy

Read Before Posting

I welcome divergent opinions. Truly. I do not claim a monopoly on insight, wisdom, or truth, and I encourage intelligent, informed debate about the ideas raised here. Thoughtful disagreement is not merely tolerated—it is expected.

That said, this site is not a free-for-all. It is my sandbox, and I set the rules. They are few, reasonable, and not difficult to follow.

1. Be civil.

Disagree as strongly as you like—with me or with other commenters—but do so respectfully. Personal attacks, insults, and name-calling add nothing of value. Save them for your own platform.

2. I reserve editorial discretion.

I reserve the right to edit or delete any comment that violates the spirit of civility described above. This is, by necessity, a subjective standard. I will not remove comments for disagreement alone, but overtly offensive, belligerent, or abusive remarks will be removed—even if you are a friend. If insults are required to make your point, the problem is not the argument.

3. No solicitation.

Do not use the comment section to sell products, promote services, or push SEO schemes. They will be treated as spam and discarded without notice. If I am interested in recommendations, I will seek them out from people I trust.

4. Use a real name.

Comments must be made under a real, verifiable name with a valid email address. Anonymous posting, aliases, and disposable emails will be rejected. Trolls are encouraged to find entertainment elsewhere.

In short: engage honestly, argue thoughtfully, and behave like an adult. If you do, your contribution is welcome. If not, it will not be published.
