It shouldn't have to be said.

And thankfully it doesn't crop up too often here at the North High Point & Jamestown blog.

But the rules for commentators continue to be: No vitriolic ad hominem attacks, no spamming and no obscenity. I didn't specifically state it the first time I laid out the ground rules, but I also reserve the right to remove any comment that is libelous because I don't want to get sued for something I didn't write.

I've only had to enforce those rules a few times since taking over this blog -- and most of those times it had to do with spamming -- but I wanted to re-state them since some folks are accusing the paper of being inconsistent after several posts were deleted at The Chalkboard for going too far.

I also want to thank the regulars here for not forcing me to delete or edit many posts.

In case you were wondering, the few times I've edited posts involved removing an offensive word or two or removing an inappropriate link, i.e. to a pornographic site. I've only removed two posts in their entirety and those were spam.
