			<outline created="Wed, 10 Feb 2010 17:42:06 GMT" text="I welcome comments that add other perspectives especially those that actively disagree with me in a vigorous way. However, I don't allow negative comments about people. There are plenty of places on the Internet for you to express those opinions. "></outline>
			<outline created="Wed, 10 Feb 2010 17:45:53 GMT" text="If a response to your comment must either be defensive or explain how offensive your comment is, I just delete your comment and block you from further participation. "></outline>
			<outline created="Wed, 10 Feb 2010 17:46:26 GMT" text="As long as you stick to discussing issues and products, no problem, but as soon as it gets personal -- goodbye, and there are no appeals. "></outline>
			<outline created="Wed, 10 Feb 2010 17:46:33 GMT" text="Another thing I don't like is talking about me in the third person in the comments. Think of a comment here as a Letter to the Editor, and on this blog, the editor is me. If you're talking about me to someone else, either take it offline or skip it."></outline>
			<outline created="Wed, 10 Feb 2010 18:06:32 GMT" text="Update: If a comment is sarcastic or devoid of information or ideas, especially if it is anonymous -- I delete that too. There's no point blocking anonymous people, for obvious reasons. You think someone is talking gibberish but you don't have the guts to put your name on it -- why should anyone care? "></outline>
