A quick comment on comments

Readers may notice that several negative comments have been posted to the site today.

It is not GPW’s policy to censor comments. We do, however, attract a good deal of spam comments. We use a software package to “catch” those spam comments, but sometimes legitimate comments get “caught” too, so we must review the spam to release those comments.

If you have attempted to post a comment, and see that it did not get published, please send a note to the contact address so we can find the comment and get it out of the spam queue.

    Executive summary: The relevant question is not who makes the argument, but whether the argument is valid.
