Guidelines for comments

Here are the guidelines for comments folks: First, any comment that does not directly address the ideas presented in the main article won’t be posted. Second, AOI comments is not a debating forum although reasonable responses to other comments may be considered on a case by case basis. Most often however, they will not be posted. Third, declarations of support or non-support won’t be posted without coherent reasons explaining your position.

Any further comments containing personal attacks, snide remarks, innuendos, etc. will be deleted. No exceptions. Serious issues require serious deliberation.

Disposition of the comments are final.
