It seems the time has come to establish some guidelines and discuss the policies for this blog. We have a strong and loyal readership, with many satisfied visitors who regularly return for the content. Our contributors are dedicated and responsible individuals who play a vital role in keeping this site alive and informative.
When it comes to comments, an open forum is essential. It can be a space for lively discussion, learning, and sharing perspectives. However, it can also become a place of negativity, hostility, or even personal attacks. As the webmaster, I made a decision some time ago to remove the pre-moderation process for comments. It was becoming too time-consuming and often led to unnecessary delays between when a comment was submitted and when it was published.
Most of the comments we receive are thoughtful and respectful. But recently, there have been instances where critiques have gone beyond what the blog intended to foster. This is an evolving process, and we need to revisit our approach from time to time.
Some readers have previously tried to shape what this blog should be by asking others to limit their critiques. As the webmaster, I’ve always aimed to stay neutral and let the community manage itself. That said, I believe I speak for most of our readers when I say that we value the ongoing contributions from our regular writers more than occasional, anonymous criticism.
Over the years, I’ve only removed a handful of comments due to inappropriate content—most of them from completely anonymous sources. This isn’t about censorship or limiting free speech, which I fully support. It’s about maintaining respect, kindness, and common sense in our discussions.
We can’t hold the messenger accountable for the message itself. The responsibility lies with the content being shared. Still, we all know that in today's world, images and instant updates give access to information that was once limited to a few. That’s powerful—but it also requires care.
So, if you have something to say, take a moment to think before you post. If your opinion is strong, consider adding your name like so many of our readers do. It adds credibility and encourages more meaningful conversations.
Going forward, I will continue to monitor the comments and step in if something becomes overly negative or inappropriate. It’s a judgment call, but it’s necessary to maintain a positive environment.
If you're interested in analyzing details in images, there are other sites that specialize in that kind of discussion.
I welcome your thoughts and appreciate your visits. I also want to sincerely apologize to anyone who felt offended by previous comments—this was never our intention. Thank you for being part of this community.
