While the vast majority of commenters here at The House are bright, thoughtful, and well mannered, the fact is that of late, the tone and quality of comments has deteriorated drastically.
I bear some responsibility for the loss of civility here. And realizing this I have hit upon a simple solution; I will no longer tolerate personal insults to me or to other commenters. If, in my judgement, your comment crosses the line, I will simply delete it. No explanation. No apology.
And if you continue to be insulting, your IP will be banned.
This goes for right and left, liberal or conservative, hawk or dove, Republican or Democrat. If you can’t say what you have to say without personalizing your comment, it will be deleted.
No more gross generalizations. No more outrageous exaggerations. No more non-germane, off topic rants.
I will save this as a page on the blog and add a link in the sidebar when I get a chance. In the meantime, everyone has been warned.

Very good idea. This decision of yours once again reinforces why I like reading your site. Thanks for supporting the idea that a good debate can be civil in tone and respectful of each other views.
