Our Comments Policy

This is a considered space. Contributions are welcome where they engage the argument, respect context, and resist sloganising.

Disagreement is welcome where it is argued rather than performed. Claims should, where possible, be accompanied by reasons, sources, or lived context.

Assertions untethered from the discussion, or framed primarily to provoke, are unlikely to advance it.

Comments may be moderated for clarity, relevance, and tone — not for dissent.
