Matter of Opinion

A few blog guidelines

We've taken down a posting today from a blogger with a double-entendre pseudonym. And in addition, we're watching some conversations degenerate into name-calling.

Let's keep the conversation civil here. When we elevate the dialogue, more voices will be heard and the blog will blossom.

Here's some advice gleaned from talking to a group of wise women recently: If you think the last poster is an idiot, stop a minute to interject the thought "bless his/her heart." And then find a way to tackle the issue without resorting to personal attack.



A Matter of Opinion is really a matter of three opinions – those held by the people responsible for the opinion pages of The Spokesman-Review. Check in regularly to find out what they’re up to, what they think and where they differ and to joust with them if you want.
