Update: *** No name calling or attacking other commenters. *** We are not attempting to tell you how to feel but those who can't show common civility just cannot be on our channels. If commenters can't self-regulate, our only other option is to close comments on all posts. We'd much rather not do that, but this is not the first (or second, or third) time we've made this request. Please treat others with courtesy — even when you disagree.
Update: Comments are closed. There's no shortage of places on the internet to grandstand or sneer at and attack other people. This isn't one of them. If you have strong feelings on this matter, we invite you to write a letter to the editor.
