I love a good discussion. Some of the most recent topics on taxgirl have generated a lot of passionate discourse – and that’s great (yeah, it can happen on a tax blog). I know that folks have very definite opinions about the upcoming presidential race, Congress, the economy and apparently, even Wesley Snipes. And I think that’s great.
I don’t like stifling discussion and it’s rare, unless you’re a spammer, that I’ll delete you. But even I have my limits. Please stop and think about what you’re writing before you publish it – if it’s offensive or hurtful to another reader, reveals too much personal information (I’m not going to redact it for you – read my “ask the taxgirl” notes) or has so many swear words that my sailor brothers are blushing, I can’t post it. End of story.

For a short time, I’m going to have to go back to 100% moderated comments on the site. The culprit? Health care reform.
So don’t panic if your comment doesn’t immediately appear – even if you’ve been a reader for years. Sorry for any inconvenience but apparently there are a handful of folks – on both sides – that are not capable of having a nice discussion without resorting to personal attacks on other readers or language that isn’t allowable on the site. You know where the line is (if you’re not sure, read my comment policy), don’t cross it. If you want to swear and call people names, go somewhere else.
My mother is coming to town this week. Don’t make me have to have her wash your mouth out with soap.
