Are you all enjoying the comment threads? Finding them annoying? Or do you not read them at all? I’ve noticed that the parking debates are starting to just rehash the same old material. That is probably a good cue to start posting about other topics, which I will do (especially once I’m back next week). In the meantime, how do you feel about the comments?

For now, I’ve deleted one comment from JR and issued a warning. Many of his comments attack people, whether it’s me or others, and constantly belittle other commenters. I definitely welcome diverse viewpoints, but criticizing people personally for their intelligence or motivations has no place in the discussions here. I’m going to start being tougher on commenters who attack people. It’s fine to criticize the issues, but not the people (no matter what side you are on).
