I don’t hold to a rigid comment policy.  The following is a rough description of rules I usually enforce:

1. No anonymous commenting.  Pick a pseudonym and be consistent about it.
2. No demanding that I respond to you.
3. No threatening violence.  I don’t care if you are joking.
4. No homophobic or transphobic slurs, except to discuss those words.
5. Behave yourself outside of my blog.  I am more likely to block your comments if you have a bad reputation.
6. No spoiling the puzzle hidden in the banner.  Send me your solutions.

Purely unproductive comments, such as comments composed of insults, will be deleted without notice.  Off-topic discussions are tolerated but not encouraged.
