I can’t tell you how grateful I am that readers take time to visit
and to read this site. My gratification only increases when people take
time to comment. It is an honor and a privilege to have readers, and I
am thankful for all of you.
Since beginning this site in 2005, I have had a pretty laissez faire
approach to moderating comments. Except for a filter that I set up to
eliminate obscenities, my comments policy has been pretty open. I like
for the comments section to be a rough and tumble place where opposing
viewpoints can meet head-on and be debated. Anyone who has spent any
time reading this site knows how rough and tumble the comments here can
be.
I generally do not screen all the comments. I’m not saying it’s the
best policy. It’s just the one that I use because I simply do not have
time to read all of them (especially in the longer threads), and I do
not want to turn off the comments altogether. Continue at Denny Burk
