Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with the others who surf here.  It enriches everyone’s experience and expands both the quantity and diversity of the information that is available to us.

Sadly, a few contributors continue to violate this site’s policy against foul language and personal attacks.  While the editors here have done a superb job of deleting such comments, it has gotten to the point that they are unwilling to continue doing so.  I understand and completely share in their frustration.

Their job is to upload posts relevant to the focus of the site, NOT to be hall monitors against childish and useless profanities and insults.  As of late, some exchanges have more resembled  a “food fight” than a political discussion. In addition, some commentators SHOUT THEIR COMMENTS in all uppercase. 

This must end NOW !!!

I am attempting to set up a filter that will automatically withhold all comments with obscene words.  Don’t ask me to list them,  just DON’T USE ANY and your comments will appear as always.

Commentators who continue to launch personal attacks against other commentators or the editors will find themselves banned via their IP address from further comments.  SHOUTED COMMENTS will be deleted regardless of content.

If the onslaught continues through clever evasions of the ban, I will be forced to CLOSE DOWN ALL COMMENTING on the site.

This is the last thing I want to do, as the site and all of it’s users will be the poorer for it.

This is an information site, not an ideological one.  As such, all views are posted here including those that may be inimical to me, the editors as well as many readers here.  If you don’t agree with the perspective of a post, you are welcome and encouraged to explain your contrary view in the comments.  That does NOT INCLUDE obscenities and personal attacks against other people contributing to the site, OK?

Let’s all pull together here and help each other through the horrifically difficult times that we are all facing, to a greater or lessor extent. 

Warm regards…

Joseph Wouk
