We hope readers will collaborate in mitigating the fog of struggle — each actual fog and stage fog — in feedback. None of us want extra cheerleading and link-free repetition of memes; there are platforms for that. Low-value, link-free pom pom-wavers might be summarily whacked.
And for many who are new right here, this isn’t a mere well mannered request. We now have written web site Insurance policies and people who remark have accepted these phrases. To stop having to resort to the nuclear choice of shutting feedback down completely till extra sanity prevails, as we did in the course of the 2015 Greek bailout negotiations and shortly after the 2020 election, we’re going to be ruthless about moderating and blacklisting offenders.
