Comment Policy
The nature of the Internet is that comments sections are rowdy places. But ultimately I do have control over my corner of the world, and I intend to exert it to maintain a higher level of information quality and decorum. Here are my criteria for deciding whether or not a comment will be published:
- Value. Comments should be well thought out, and points supported by research or at least solid logic. Personal anecdotes are welcome as long as they aren't over-interpreted. Thoughtful questions are also welcome, although I can't guarantee I'll answer them. As always, anyone is free to disagree with me in a constructive manner, or simply offer a word of support.
- Respect. Comments should be respectful to me and other commenters, and composed in a concise manner. It isn't difficult to disagree in a respectful way.
- On topic. Comments should be at least somewhat relevant to the subject of the post.
- Full name. Attaching your full name to a comment means taking responsibility for what you write. I'll continue to publish anonymous comments if they add value, but I'll be more likely to publish if you include your full name in your screen name, your profile, or at the bottom of your comment.
- No ads. I will not publish links to commercial sites that do not add value to the discussion, nor will I publish any other link I find objectionable.
Because I'll be moderating, I've decided to remove the captcha word authentication, which many people found difficult to use. We'll see how that goes. Since I have a lot on my plate, and Whole Health Source is a one-man show, I may not always moderate comments in a timely manner. I apologize in advance for the inconvenience.
