Over the last cou­ple of weeks, I’ve seen a rather large increase (roughly 5x my usual traf­fic) in the num­ber of vis­i­tors to this site. 99.999999% of the extra traf­fic is all due to a post I wrote last Novem­ber. As we move into the final hours before Con­gress con­ducts its his­toric vote on this issue; I’ve noticed some of the com­ments my old post is receiv­ing are lit­tle more than ran­dom spew­ing of hate. This is one of the rea­son that I use com­ment mod­er­a­tion on this site. If you’ve never left a com­ment on this site before; your com­ment goes into a queue. A queue which I check when I have the time and desire to do so.

Does this site have a for­mal com­ment pol­icy? Not really, but if you’d like to read the com­ment pol­icy of a writer I admire take a look at John Scalzi’s Site Dis­claimer and Com­ment Pol­icy. That should give you a pretty good idea how I feel about com­ments and the respon­si­bil­i­ties of those who write them.
