My blog, my rules--I'm laying down the law

I've now been blogging here for over 20 years, so maybe I haven't mentioned this lately and it's time that I did--I pride myself on running a civil blog, and insist that all comments be written in respectful language. If you wish to disagree with anything I've posted, feel free to say so in the comments section--I believe in freedom of speech. That said, I won't tolerate being insulted on my own blog, not will I allow any commenter to insult another commenter on my blog. There's no reason to be disagreeable just because you disagree. Note that I went back to my Saturday, April 26, 2025 post, "They're using our own money to rob us," deleted the offending comment, and reposted an edited version that omits the insulting language while retaining the substance of the comment. You're forewarned: If you wish to comment on my blog, derech aretz, comment courtesy, isn't just nice, it's a requirement.
