This is just a reminder of the Townhall Moderation Policy. We encourage healthy debate of all issues within the boundaries of respect and courtesy.
1.) No personal attacks, no name calling. Just stick to the issues.
2.) No use of foul of sexual language, no attempts to circumvent the language filters, no inappropriate references to bodily functions. (For example, the word sh*t or b*tch would be a violation of the rules.)
3.) No overt commercial advertising of products, services or websites.
4.) No abusive, repetitive, off-topic or overtly disruptive posts. Just stick to the conservation, don't disrupt it.
5.) No advocating of illegal activities, violence or racism.
6.) No full reprinting of articles or content in its entirety by other authors or content under copyright without prior written approval from the original author or copyright holder. This is a legal issue. If you have permission to reprint an article of post by another author, just make sure to note it somewhere in the post (and perhaps link back to the original site). You are certainly free to quote someone, though proper attribution is always recommended for your own credibility and integrity.
These are enforced according to the discretion of the moderator and no notice will be served. We welcome all points of view - liberal included. I realize that in the heat of debate on issues of great importance, it is easy to lose one's temper, but we are managing a large community with thousands of comments and blog posts each day.
Please help us out - be courteous and self-controlled.
We are working hard to maintain a respectful and decorous tone, where all perspectives and opinions can engage in constructive conversation.
Feel free to post any questions on this blog.
