100 words is pretty limiting. Kind of makes some of the best discussions I've seen on here very difficult. Applaud the other rules though. However, I hope you will actually enforce them.

I agree 100 words might be tight. What is twitter 150? I think the standards of conduct will be welcome. I beleive we met Stephan , when i was champaining for trustee. Dident my daughter help you wash youre car? If I remember it correctly.

Well said and a good policy. I therefore apologize for using the word nitwit to describe a fellow commentator. But then again...

Nancy, so glad you didn't say "KISS: Keep it Simple, Stupid!" :)

I applaud the move and support the policy wholeheartedly.
It IS possible to disagree without being disagreeable. In this internet age, we are just now learning what most of our kids already know: that the rules of civility apply just as much to what we post as they do to what we say when we're in the same room with people.
If we can keep that in mind, we'll make a lot more progress.

editor, Thank you for taking action on this issue. I was noticing a decline in valuable content from subscribers.

Have to say KIS not KISS; no name calling! Now if only the USCongress could follow some of these civility rules...

100 words seems pretty limited if one wants to get a point across with some detail, but I guess the rules are the rules. Glad to see the editor(s) setting some guidelines for folks to follow.

that's apparent, you're already testing the 'anonymity rule'. you have to admit, though, some rules are good. like the ones that keep people on their own side of the road...
