WDEL is an institution which seeks to uphold the tenets of free speech, and improve its community by shining a light on the issues that most impact Delaware. With that said, this website should be used for civil discussion. Paraphrasing one of the world’s largest websites: Be courteous to others. Attack ideas, not humans. Treat others with basic decency. No personal attacks, hate-speech, flaming, baiting, trolling, witch-hunting, or shill or unsubstantiated accusations, or threats of violence. Do not post personal information about other individuals. Giving out private personal details of other people can result in unexpected and potentially serious consequences for the individual targeted. Violating any of these rules will result in a permanent ban.
