Commenting Policy

This blog is dedicated to sharing information and discussing important issues with Democrats and others who support Democratic ideals and principles. This site was not created for conservatives, libertarians, or teabaggers. However, we may allow their comments as long as they do not violate our commenting policy.

We welcome comments that apply to the post topic and contribute to a meaningful discussion.

Please keep your comments to a reasonable length, such as a few paragraphs. Excessively long comments may be kept or removed at the discretion of management.

Comments that require moderation

• Comments that contain offensive or vulgar language may be sent to moderation. This is an automated process. These posts are placed in moderation and will need to be approved before being published. If you prefer not to wait for moderation, rewrite your comment without the offensive or vulgar language.
• Any post containing more than 3 links will be sent to moderation. This is an automated process. These posts are placed in moderation and will need to be approved before being published. This is a common practice to help control spam. If your comment is not spam, please be patient; we’ll review and approve it as soon as possible.

We have a zero tolerance policy regarding trolls.
“Trolls” are typically haters who leave comments with the intention of disrupting the conversation, attacking members of the community, or spreading hateful or off-topic rhetoric or misinformation that serves no purpose. Some are actually hired to perform this function. Many lefty blogs are infested by right-wing trolls. We will never allow that to happen here. A troll’s comments will almost always be removed and the individual will be blocked from submitting future comments.

Spam ads in comments will be removed and the individual will be blocked.

We support lefty bloggers, so providing a link to your lefty blog article that is related to one of our posts will almost always be allowed.

If you object to having a comment removed or edited per our commenting policy, keep one thing in mind: this a personal blog and visitors have no legal right to comment.
