A Few Words About Comments

Let me remind readers that, while thoughtful and civil comments are welcomed, I do not intend for this space to be used for ranting and spewing personal invective. These days, it is quite easy to start up a blog of own's own, and my suggestion to people who want to verbally vandalize is that they do so on their own dime, in their own name. The issue of whether to enable comments at all is an open one for me. The Dignified Rant for instance, a site I admire, does not enable comments. I suppose, sadly, if it turns out my expectations for comments were too high, that could be the way to go.
