A reminder regarding our comments policy in light of the language and tone of a handful of comments to Todd’s post:
We welcome comments. We do not intend to moderate them but may delete those that are profane, mean spirited, racist, sexist, or otherwise inappropriate.
Sometimes, and especially on the weekend (and even more so during football season), it takes me a bit longer to moderate comments than would otherwise be the case. Please submit just once. Thanks.
There is never an excuse for bad manners or crude behavior.
Or mean spiritedness.
“We welcome comments. We do not intend to moderate them”
That’s respectable. However, it’s not easy to convert a progressive to a moderate anyway. Still, thx for the hospitality!
“We do not intend to moderate them but may delete those that are profane, mean spirited, racist, sexist, or otherwise inappropriate.”
A shame the original mean spirited post saw the light of day. Then again, perhaps airing it was instructive. Well we can hope.
