Comments

The Fold Media follows a simple set of rules for acceptable commenting:

1. All viewpoints are welcome. However, hate speech of any kind, libelous statements or threats to fellow users or others may be deleted and may be grounds for suspending or terminating a users account.  The managing editor will determine what violates this rule.  Stupid people this applies to you.

2. The Fold Blog is a venue for personal and political viewpoints. But insults, personal attacks and the like make that sort of enlivening exchange impossible. If you just want to scream and taunt, please go somewhere else. If you have any question about what is and what's not acceptable, follow this rule: If you wouldn't use a certain word or talk to someone a certain way in a real-life political discussion in a face to face conversation, don't do it here either.

3.  The Fold Blog utilizes the Disqus commenting system.  Its guidelines must be adhered.  Comments are not moderated but are monitored.  Something other than Fox News or Rush Limbaugh talking points is encouraged.  In addition, Fox News and/or Rush Limbaugh talking points may be ignored.  Commenters with multiple personalities will be considered spam.

4.  The editor reserves the sole right to decide what comments correctly follow these rules and may delete comments that violate the aforementioned policy.  Comments are also encouraged to stay on topic and be concise when possible.  Chronic offenders will be banned.
