Posts are impulsively and hastily composed, contain errors of spelling, grammar, punctuation and fact, and sometimes are obscurely or infelicitously expressed, thereby becoming subject to rash misinterpretation on the part of those who read blogs to play "gotcha." So big deal if you happen to notice a mistake.

The blogger welcomes commenters of all stripes, anonymous and otherwise, to agree or disagree. This is, however, a forum for the blogger's thoughts, not for endless debate with the blogger. We therefore refrain from commenting on comments except under rare circumstances when the topic is important and the comment serious, when the comments come from certain outstanding, regular commentors whom we deem Honorary SWNIDish Co-Bloggers, or when we're just bored. All comments that the blogger deems to be defaming of or insulting to individuals--not merely critical of individuals' opinions--will be deleted.

We also don't tolerate profane or obscene diction. Comments that we deem to contain either will be unceremoniously deleted. Attention drunk and disorderly internet surfers who post f-bomb laden witticisms on sites that offend your refined sensibilities: despite your deep engagement with the issues, we gently ask that you navigate to other sites to exercise your puerile vocabulary.

WARNING: We use sarcasm on this blog. Sarcasm is dangerous. We are a trained professional. Please don't try this at home. Attempts to post comments that match the wit of this blog have generally failed, to the shame of the commenter.
