Comments Policy
STOP! This is our COMMENTS POLICY page. If you are trying to comment on an article, you need to turn around and go back to that article now and post your comment in the Comments area for that post.
This page tells you the why of our comments publication policy. Please join us in the discussion right now!
- We need you to be Registered to comment. We recommend OpenID as a good place to confirm your identity.
- All new commenters are moderated for your safety and ours.
- If you are having trouble logging in to comment, send a note here.
- If you post something nasty and hateful we reserve the right to post that comment in whatever forum we wish -- we never edit or change your words unless you curse -- and we will also include your email address and other technical information that will allow people to trackback to your real identity.
- You need to use your Real First and Last Name if you want to be published -- unless we already know you.
- No cussing.
- No "me too!" comments.
- We reserve the right to moderate previously approved commenters.
- We require proof for your argument. If you claim something, provide a scholarly URL.
- Submitting a comment is not a promise of publication and some comments may be deleted before publication without notification.
- Submitting your comment gives us the right -- in perpetuity -- to publish or remove your comment.
- It is now the publication policy of 10txt to require authors and Commenters to go beyond the come-hither simple search-and-pull of Wikipedia and to take the next scholarly step to support their claims and contentions using established research portals and methods for inclusion in our articles and comments.
Hard facts are more convincing than blind faith. Comments here are the brine of the internet and we value them and we cast away the chaff with the curd.We try our best to support each other and to enlighten the world all while staying on point and on topic.
