Clarified Comment Policy:

VC readers who often comment here might want to note that we have
clarified our comment policy (the one posted right below the comment
box when you write a comment). It's the same basic policy as before,
but a little clearer and shorter:
Comment Policy: We reserve the right to edit or delete comments,
and in extreme cases to ban commenters, at our discretion. Comments
must be relevant and civil (and, especially, free of name-calling).
We think of comment threads like dinner parties at our homes. If
you make the party unpleasant for us or for others, we'd rather you
went elsewhere. We're happy to see a wide range of viewpoints, but
we want all of them to be expressed as politely as possible.
We realize that such a comment policy can never be evenly
enforced, because we can't possibly monitor every comment equally
well. Hundreds of comments are posted every day here, and we don't
read them all. Those we read, we read with different degrees of
attention, and in different moods. We try to be fair, but we make
no promises.
And remember, it's a big Internet. If you think we were mistaken
in removing your post (or, in extreme cases, in removing you) -- or
if you prefer a more free-for-all approach -- there are surely
plenty of ways you can still get your views out.
