Terms of Service
At the bottom of the main page:
“Think of this place as something like a college classroom. We’re in charge, we pick the topics, we set the rules, and we try to foster as much intelligent discourse as possible. If this isn’t your cup of tea, there are plenty of other sites out there for you to try—we’re not going to be for everybody, and we’re not going to try to appeal to the masses.” —USSM
Rarely do any of the comments in this blog cross over the line, or even approach the line. In the rare instances that they have, they have simply cleared right over the line. Those are easy deletes. Sometimes, the comments make me cringe, but I let it go. I figure when it makes both me and MGL cringe, then that’s a step over the line.
I don’t want to get into the habit of censoring posts, mostly because it’s a waste of my time. It is a testament to our readership that the signal to noise ratio is as high as it is. We strive for infinity, but getting a one-thousand to one ratio is good enough for me.
Anyway, if you think that we were too quick to block Sergei’s posts, or if you think we set different rules for ourselves than the readers, then post below. Or if you want to say anything else, post below. I consider us all peers (or at worst, I’ll consider myself a benevolent dictator on this blog), so I want everyone to feel as if their voices will be heard.
