Comment Rules

I know I've posted these before. However, if you want to leave a comment, here are the rules:

Bannable offenses:

1. Don't be offensive or insulting
2. Don't use ad hominem attacks
   
3. Don't use profanity
4. Don't spam every post or reply

Annoyances:

1. Stick to a point, don't rant on a lot of different topics
2. Reference your facts with real sources (not Wikipedia, not other bloggers, unless they reference an original source)
3. Avoid red baiting - I'm interested in rational debate and consider exploration of all political currents interesting and valuable
4. If you must bait me, please do it with style, tact and grace. To quote Goethe, “A man's manners are a mirror in which he shows his portrait.”

Cheers,
