Comment posting guidelines

[456 Berea Street]

Most blog authors want their readers to participate by commenting, so having people post comments on your articles is generally a very good thing. I for one love it when people leave constructive comments here. Nearly everybody participates in a civilised manner, but unfortunately there are exceptions.
I'm sure most people who have reasonably popular blogs will agree that reading and responding to just the well-written comments can take a lot of time, but that it's okay. What is not okay is the time and energy consumed by trolls, spammers, and people with bad attitudes.
Disabling comments does not feel like an attractive option to me since this site would not be what it is without reader participation. So instead of doing that I have written a few tips and ground rules for posting comments.
