A brief note about site policy…

All authors have the ability to edit their own posts and moderate comments on their threads – but not anyone else’s. That means, for example, that johnpi can edit comments by others attached to his post, but not comments on a post by Buzz or shams. This means, effectively, that all authors are responsible for maintaining their own threads.

As in all things, there is balance. That balance between taking a heavy hand or laissez faire is, I think, up to the judgement of each author. Thats something that each of us who leaves comments also has to take into account.

The obvious rule is simple: don’t interact with someone you have issues with. That means don’t comment on their posts; it means not replying to them in someone else’s thread.

Note – admins like myself, Willow and Thabet are empowered to edit comments on anyone’s thread. They will intervene in the worst offenders (takfiris, obscenity, etc).
