Important New Policy

This is actually not a new policy, but on the advice of halakhic counsel I am formalizing this policy about this blog:

This blog is intended only for the interchange of ideas for the purpose of Torah study, promoting enlightened public policy and/or the refinement of character. Comments in that spirit are welcome but those that entail denigration of character are not welcome and if they appear will be deleted upon discovery. Since editing is rarely feasible, comments that are deemed inappropriate will be deleted entirely or, if possible, edited.

I encourage other blogs to adopt similar policies.
