Commenting Policy

This blog is dedicated to sharing information and discussing important issues with Democrats and others who support Democratic ideals and principles.

We welcome comments that apply to the post topic and contribute to a meaningful discussion. Unrelated comments may be kept or removed at the discretion of management.

Please keep your comments to a reasonable length, such as a few paragraphs.

Comments that contain offensive or vulgar language may be removed. A filter checks comments for the most commonly used examples of this type of language. Posts will be automatically placed in moderation and will need to be approved before being published.

“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. Trolls can also leave spam ads. We have a no-tolerance policy regarding trolls. Their comments will almost always be removed and the individual may be blocked from submitting future comments.

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

Any post containing more than 3 links will automatically go into 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 do not monitor comments 24/7 but we’ll approve it as soon as possible.

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.
