I have just taken the unprecedented step of deleting some comments on this website.
This is not something I do lightly, for I am committed to free speech. However, these deleted comments crossed the line of respectability. I cannot tolerate them any longer.
All are welcome to comment on this website: left-wingers, right-wingers, Jews, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Sikhs, people of all other religions, and people of no faith at all.
But one thing I ask is that comments be placed in a reasonable and rational manner, without vulgarities and profanities, and without any racist intent. Please do not overstep the bounds of respectability and decency, for to do so can be very offensive to others. Furthermore, arguments written in this manner are never enhanced in any way.
From now on, any comments which I feel overstep these limits will be erased as soon as possible.

Mark,
I support your decision. I myself had to make this difficult decision a few months back.
My friend Warren pointed out to me, when I was agonizing over the decision: "Your blog, your rules." And Beak mentioned that those whose comments we can no longer tolerate are free to exercise their rights at their own blogs.
