General
My comments policy is very simple; this is my blog and I will decide, just what will be allowed entirely at my own discretion. Please keep to the topic and avoid personal attacks upon me or others If you don’t like it then get your own blog, they are free from either Google or WordPress, where you may say what ever you wish.
New commenters will have their comments moderated until I am satisfied with their bona fides. I expect that any email address that is provided with a comment should be a valid one. Failure to provide a real email address will mean that your comment will not appear on my blog.
Comments for each post will be automatically closed sixty days after the posting date
Civility and good manners
These virtues are important in the real world and I believe that in the bloggosphere that remains the case. I love an argument and robust debate but please play nice and we can all remain good friends.
Spelling
The English language is a wonderful creature that all of us who write try very hard to master. Now I am the first to admit that my spelling is not always perfect. However I have grown rather tired of certain people who comment at my blogs making a great deal of the errors that slip through my best efforts to present clear and cogent prose.
If I make any errors in my posts and I notice them I have no reservations against correcting those errors, I will even be thankful to readers who, in a spirit of good will, let me know that I have erred, however I have lost all patience for agents of the “Spelling Police”; comments that I deem to be of that nature will be deleted and the commenter will be banned from making further comment here.
Have you made a mistake in your comment?
If someone makes an error in their comment I am happy to correct those errors after a polite request to do so. We are all human and when it comes to spelling errors made by others I know that it is a case of “there but for the Grace of God go I” but smart arses or trolls will be shown no mercy.
