At the bottom of every article and column is a box to type in comments. Comments will be moderated before they are posted to the Web site.
Good comments add something to the discussion in a civil way. They do not contain profanity, advertisements, press releases or personal attacks on reporters, subjects of articles or other commenters.
Moderating comments before they are posted means you won’t have to deal with spam comments or irrelevant one cluttering up the debate. It also allows our readers to hold meaningful discussions without unnecessary distractions.
