Space Politics

Because sometimes the most important orbit is the Beltway…

Administrivia: a request for comment civility

While I appreciate a spirited debate on space policy topics as much as anyone, the exchange of comments in a few recent posts has taken on a more negative tone among several participants. Please, folks, discuss and debate the topics, not level attacks on one another. Let’s at least act like adults…

Jeff, have you considered moving the site to slash? It allows a comment format that let’s flamewars to spin off under one topic rather than being interspersed as part of one long comment list. Plus you can moderate with a little more granularity. I can’t really expect that a politically charged discussion is going to exclude harsh comments.

Besides, adults are just kids who didn’t die of a childhood disease. Sometimes, they get a little education in there too.

I agree, I have to say that I am surprised to see people in the space community give up on a concrete initiative to support a vague “if” with no concrete info. I hate to say it but mention Zubrin, Kerry and Bush in one topic an thats an explosive combo. (That was the topic I noted the most “heat” from.)

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
