Community guidelines

Discussion is the point. Disagree as hard as you like, but aim at ideas, not people.

Do

• Give reasons and evidence for your position.
• Quote the part of the argument you are answering.
• Change your mind when someone makes a better case.

Don’t

• Insult, harass or threaten other readers or contributors.
• Post spam, advertising or repeated links.
• Share private information about anyone.

Moderators remove abuse, not disagreement. Use the Report button if something crosses the line.
