Editorial Policy and Guidelines

Comments

Reasonable and constructive comments that contribute to debate, including critical comments, are welcome and will be published. However, all comments will be moderated before publication, which means all comments will be reviewed and, if deemed necessary, edited prior to their publication. Minor stylistic changes to enhance clarity and readability (correction of typos, spelling, grammar, etc.) will be made automatically. If more substantive changes are needed, the individuals submitting the comment(s) will be contacted to reach an agreement on the changes to be made.

Any comment that includes offensive or inappropriate language; is considered to be rude and offensive; is a personal attack on a contributor or on another individual submitting a comment/comments; could be considered defamatory; or otherwise brings The Global Fool into disrepute will not be published. Similarly, comments that are not relevant to the content of the post and/or are not timely will not be published.

We are practical and straightforward; we place a high value on getting to the point. When writing your comments, 1) use familiar and user-friendly language; 2) avoid highly-scientific and jargon-laden descriptions; 3) communicate in a friendly and conversational tone.

Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in any of the comments are the personal opinions of the individuals submitting the comment/s and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Global Fool.
