JVL Comments Policy

All comments are moderated.

We welcome substantive comments on our postings, including ones that contest their content and raise reasoned criticisms.

We reject those that are simple dismissals without argument, make personal attacks, contain abusive language, or ethnic, racist or religious slurs or tropes or cause gratuitous offence.

We urge you to make your observations on topic, in a respectful, thoughtful and factual way. Keep them to a reasonable length. We will rarely approve comments of more than 300 words and prefer them shorter.

We reserve the right to edit or reject comments without further explanation.
