The tenor of the discussion on some of the recent posts has been unsatisfactory, devolving into long-winded arguments filled with vitriol that are of little interest to anyone other than the participants. To keep the discussion in a higher orbit, please follow a couple of guidelines for participation:
- Tone down the invective. Criticize the comments, not the commenter.
- Yes, people can post here anonymously, and in general not knowing the identity of everyone is outweighed by the quality of information and commentary they provide. However, if you’re going to post anonymously, pick one identity and stick with it. On more than one occasion an individual has used multiple identities (based on server log data) here at the same time, even in the same post. That will not be tolerated.
Thanks, as always, for your anticipated cooperation.
