I’m getting ready to board the plane. I’ll go to Turkey today, where I will spend 3.5 or even 4 weeks together with my fiancée. I’m looking incredibly forward to it, but I’m afraid that I won’t be able to post much… if at all. However, you all do not have to worry; the co-bloggers here will be more active and I asked a couple of people to post here. The two people I asked to guest blog are Fausta Wertz and PatHMV. I’m thrilled that they agreed to guest blog at PoliGazette, please treat them kindly (I’m talking to you, Christine). Kevin Sullivan also agreed to cross post his posts from Independent Liberal and many co-bloggers have told me that they’ll post as much and as often as possible.

Have a great couple of weeks, I know I will!

    please treat them kindly (I’m talking to you, Christine).

    LOL, that’s especially funny since more often than not when Pat comments I follow up with comments like "What Pat said!"

    Have a great trip, Michael!

    Thanks for the invitation, Michael! I’m looking forward to it. I don’t have to do any actual Dutch-blogging in your place, though, do I? Plus, I’m thinking there may be a notable drop in posts regarding the conflict between the Turks and the Armenians in your absence.

    Christine, maybe we can spend this time by trying to find at least one topic on which we disagree… ;-)

    Hah, bring it on, Pat, and I’ll do my best to find the quibble points.

    I suspect that Michael will be fine with a general lack of Dutch or Turk/Armenian posts as long as you hold up the Obamabashing end of the blog. (kidding!)

PoliGazette Comments Policy

PoliGazette encourages comments from all viewpoints, especially those that disagree. Comments submitted must, however, adhere to the following standards. Comments that violate these standards may be edited or deleted without notice at the sole discretion of the editors. Commenters who repeatedly or egregiously violate these standards or who attempt to argue publicly with editors regarding the comments policy may be banned from commenting further.

(1) Comments should address the substantive content of the post. Comments that repeatedly or blatantly misrepresent the content of the post or of others' comments are not welcome. Comments that respond to something other than which the contributor or commenter may have said are irrelevant and should not be posted.

(2) Comments should avoid vulgarity as well as racial, ethnic, religious, or sexual bigotry.

(3) Comments should not personally attack the character, personal integrity, or professional reputation of any PoliGazette contributor or of other commenters.

(4) Comments should reflect the contributions of the commenters themselves and should not include extensive cut-and-paste reproductions of others' words except insofar as necessary to supplement the commenter's own arguments. Link spam, trackback spam, and propaganda spam will be instantly deleted.

(5) Public figures are considered open to all substantive criticism of their policies and statements. Comments that present objectively false factual information about public figures (i.e. "Obama is a Muslim") or that attack public figures by attacking their families are not welcome. Comments that merely repeat slogans for or against a candidate without engaging in substantive comment are not welcome.

Questions or challenges to these policies or their application should be directed to the editors by email only.
