Your comments are always welcome on this blog. However, The North Shore Exponent will NOT tolerate comments from people on the blog who engage in rude and vile conduct because they may not agree with something or to push a personal agenda.
The North Shore Exponent will not allow any comments that include:
* Unneeded name calling.
* Personal attacks
* Sarcastic statements
* Statements that involve racial or ethnic language.
If anyone is to found to comment in that fashion, comments will be deleted. In some cases, they may be publicly ridiculed to make an example out of someone and to make the famous. If its done repeadtely, the user’s IP address and screen name will be banned from the blog.
I have been surprised by the lack of civil political discourse in some of the threaded discussions in the blogs. I suspect it might reflect the sort of people we are (i.e., in American society).
