Comment Rules: We like to think that THEthe has both the critical edge of a good journal and the informal, discursive nature of a blog. Readers and their comments are a valuable part of this blog, and we heartily encourage comments that spur debate, provoke self-examination, or attempt to expand upon the ideas from the posts themselves.
We all have the responsibility to love our neighbors (even our online ones). Disagreements, even serious ones, should be carried forth with grace and humility. We have no tolerance for hateful, nasty diatribes and will probably delete them (especially if it is obvious that you spent a long time writing it).
