Comment Policy

Basically this is my weblog. It’s my bandwidth. It’s my online home.

So when you’re in my home I expect you to adhere to a few very basic rules: -

  • I have no problem with robust debate, but I do expect a modicum of legitimacy within any given argument. If you’re building a straw man or playing silly games with semantics, I’d suggest you find someone else’s time to waste
  • Comment moderation is enabled and may delay your comment. There is no need to resubmit your comment. Only commentors who have a previously approved comment will appear straightaway (that is unless their comment contravenes one of the expressed rules below)

  • I’m likely to ignore anonymous comments

  • Trolling of any kind is likely to receive short shrift - you pays your money, you takes your choice

  • But that doesn’t mean commentors have to agree with me. I have no problem with intelligent dissent, and I encourage informed discussion

  • SPAM will be vaporised. This blog is not a billboard to be plastered with free ads

  • Don’t include more than one or two links per-comment. Link spamming will be sent directly to the SPAM-bin

  • I’m seriously considering making readers register prior to commenting, so play nice and don’t force my hand

  • I reserve the right to obliterate comments - with no reason given, if I’m in a particularly bad mood. Capisce?

  • The comment facility may be switched off at anytime

  • Some individual posts may have the comment facility disabled

  • I reserve the right to change these rules without notice

  • I am not responsible for, nor do I endorse, comments made on this blog by third parties (see here)

  • tygerland.net is published in The United States of America (see here)
