To prevent having to resort to the nuclear option of shutting comments down entirely until more sanity prevails, as we did during the 2015 Greek bailout negotiations and shortly after the 2020 election, we are going to be ruthless about moderating and blacklisting offenders. We have written site Policies and those who comment have accepted those terms. Low-value, link-free pom pom-wavers will be summarily whacked.Īnd for those who are new here, this is not a mere polite request. None of us need more cheerleading and link-free repetition of memes there are platforms for that. We hope readers will collaborate in mitigating the fog of war - both real fog and stage fog - in comments. Lambert and I, and many readers, agree that Ukraine has prompted the worst informational environment ever.
