Just a reminder, or, fair notice if you’re new…
The comments section on this website has always been a place where faceless people talk (or in this case write) to each other as if they were actually speaking to each other in person. That’s hardly ever the case on the internet. And people have absolutely noticed that difference in the past.
Tact and mutual respect have always been the norm. Sniping, trolling, snobbishness, backhanded passive-aggressive insults, and all sorts of jackassery are rare occurrences. Sure it happens, and there flareups every so often, but it’s not a regular thing by any means. And that’s pretty awesome.
Many thanks to all of you who keep the comments here interesting, incredibly useful, civil, and often hilarious. They’re nothing like the comments section you’d find on most other websites & message boards, which can often read how this goat sounds:

…………………….
well thanks for keeping up the good content of the site
classy site = classy comments
I do it because if I build up enough “likes” I can cash them in for a free “flame”…That’s how it works, right?
Hey Joe, I believe I owe you and the site an apology as I mistakenly logged on with an inappropriate moniker/avatar. Whomever the mod was did the right thing and deleted my post right away and I’ve since updated my info to something more proper.
I’m fairly new to the site and the information from you and the commentors have proven invaluable. In the past two months, I’ve literally been able to update my work wardrobe, look much more presentable and professional, and saved a ton of money doing it.
Appreciate all the hardwork you’ve done and I look forward to future posts and articles. Happy Holidays!
But I think it’s like tickets at Chuck E. Cheese, you gather a bunch, but forget to use them.
You set the tone.
Good site, honest engagement from the masses. Cheers to all — and for a peaceful and restful holiday season as well.
We just follow suit, Joe. You are never afraid to let someone know when to bring down the douchebaggery a notch.
one of the most civil communities on the ‘net. thanks to Joe and most of you folks here
While I agree, Joe, I feel like I read more, “hey guys watch the comments,” than I do negative comments. Let’s all just be adults here.
