Why A Moderated Blog?
We believe in fostering a venue where valuable opinions count, where people can express their views and engage in a dynamic and educated discussion about provocative issues of the day. At the same time, we are certain the thought provoking issues that appear on the Sites may incite people to submit comments that do not further the relevant conversation. This is why we chose a moderated blog, in which comments that are submitted to the Sites will be reviewed by a moderator before being published, if at all, on the Sites.
We try to publish as many comments as we can in their entirety, but if we believe a comment is irrelevant to the specific topic, repetitive of a point of view already represented on the blog, defamatory or otherwise violates our Terms of Use, we may decide not to post it. We encourage your comments, and look forward to hearing from you.
For more information about what we think is acceptable, and what we might find to be unacceptable to post, please consult the Online Forums section of our Terms of Use.
