new commenting policy

in order to maintain some level of civility, please do not use disparaging insults or personal attacks against anyone or any group.any comments containing such will be removed at my discretion. because of trouble with anonymous cowards, ALL ANONYMOUS COMMENTS WILL BE PROMPTLY REMOVED REGARDLESS OF CONTENT. if you want your comment to remain, leave some sort of consistent name or pseudonym so that readers can get a sense of who you are. if my mother can figure it out, so can you.


in the spirit of this, i will also try to maintain a higher level of civility in both my posts and my comments.
