Comment Rules

First, read the post in its entirety before commenting.

Second, I would like to request that anyone who comments do so with a certain amount of civility. You are welcome to criticize other people’s arguments, but attacking the person making the argument is not permitted. Similarly, I would like everyone to feel comfortable reading through the comments, so please refrain from profanity. Engaging in behavior like telling people that should commit suicide will probably result in you being banned and your comments being deleted. To be clear, I have nothing against healthy sarcasm and witty jabs, but there is no excuse for name calling, attacking people, bigotry, or suggesting violence.

Third, please stay on topic. If your comments are not relevant to the specific topic discussed in the post, the will be ignored or deleted.

Forth, if you think I’m wrong, then you need to give actual evidence that I am wrong. Depending on the context, this will mean either citing the peer-reviewed literature or pointing out a logical fallacy in my argument.

Finally, do not waste my time by repeatedly making the same arguments on multiple posts. I have no interest in an echo chamber, so I don’t block people who are making actual arguments and having an intelligent discourse. However, if you engage in trolling behavior and repeatedly make the same comments over and over again even though they have already been thoroughly discussed, I reserve the write to block you from future commenting, otherwise all my time is spent pointlessly rehashing arguments I’ve already had.

Finally, please be aware that because of my research, I often do not have internet access for months at a time, so my responses may be sporadic.

P.S. please remember, nobody likes trolls
