We have very few rules here when it comes to comments, save for being polite. And, almost always, the discussions are remarkably civil and intelligent and our visitors and bloggers alike have usually shown restraint and good will. We have disagreed, sometimes vehemently, but we have almost always understood that everyone is entitled to an opinion.
And then we have the comments that highjacked the weekend post about the woman’s body found in White Rock Lake. At the very least, they were insensitive. A woman died, and that’s not the place to discuss issues like the White Rock park lighting. There have been two posts in the past couple of weeks about that, which is where the discussion should take place. There are other blogs in town that thrive on that type of exchange, and if you feel so inclined, go there and and type away.
As a result, we have to do something we have almost never done: comment moderation for that post. Anything that doesn’t deal with the topic will be deleted.
