We welcome and encourage bouquets and brickbats from visitors who read our blog. We appreciate the fact that you take the time to read our blog and leave your comments. We really do. Just as Thomas Jefferson said to P.H. Wendover, “"Difference of opinion leads to enquiry, and enquiry to truth; and that, I am sure, is the ultimate and sincere object of us both…”Generally speaking, we welcome differences in points of view as long as they are constructive criticisms sans the occasional rude/ vulgar/ obnoxious behavior we sometimes unfotunately  encounter.

And yes, WE HATE COMMENT SPAM.

Please read our guidelines before you post your comments:

·        Comments are post-moderated, i.e. you do get to see your comments pretty immediately after you’ve posted them, but don’t be alarm if you realize they’ve been removed afterwards. And why you ask?

·         We accept differences of opinion NOT rude, vulgar and/ or obnoxious comments that might transgress acceptable netiquette. We won’t hesitate to remove such comments. And no name calling of other commenters please. 

• We generally never edit a comment or rephrase your words. But we do reserve the right to do so if we’re unfortunately pushed to do so by events or circumstances.
• Likewise for links, we reserve the right to edit and/ or remove any links you place if we find out that they link to sites we consider inappropriate, blatantly spammy-and/ or suspicious-looking default set-up pages , i.e. if you place a link to some porn site, site on managing bad credit, free movies online, privates jet for hire etc.  We might even remove the comment. Please understand that we have spent a lot of time and effort on our articles. Please remember the “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” maxim before you’re even tempted to place a link that's linked to irrelevant sites or sites with objectionable content. You wouldn't want us to do the same to your blog right?
• Comments that are, in our humble opinion, deliberately placed for the sole purpose of a getting a back link to a site that is totally unrelated to the subject content of our blog will be immediately removed. The same commenter making multiple comments with different back links in attempts to back link to various different sites is outright spamming. We will remove your comments and make they never get to see the light of day.
• Comments with links to “Under Construction” sites or  suspicious-looking sites induces a knee jerk reaction from us- we remove them instantly.
