I have comment moderation turned on. That means that every comment posted is sent to me via e-mail for approval. I will approve any and all comments sent my way that are not congruent with the following: trolling, spamming, written in incomprehensible gibberish, completely irrelevant to the post about which they are written, or hostile and inflammatory.
Feel free to criticize anything I write on this blog; I promise you that I will not block comments that make me look bad. I encourage all commenters to leave an e-mail address or a link to their own blog so that I may contact you directly when/if I reply to your comment (which I often do, since I view blogs not as stand-alone works but a collection of conversations, with each post being a conversation starter).
