A quick note to commenters

- by New Deal democrat

As you all may already know, one of Bonddad's posts Friday has generated a fair amount of blowback. Back in the old days, I almost never did any comment moderation, but now I do a lot. My rule of thumb is that, if disagreement is based on facts, it gets published, no matter its "tone." To that end, I probably haven't deleted a comment in almost half a year.

On the other hand, "spam" is getting much more sophisticated, and a few comments may get caught in the filter, which seems to have happened to a couple over the weekend. I've published them now. So nobody's comments have been ignored, censored, or deleted.
