Good afternoon all!

This is a reminder that commenting will resume with Monday’s blog update.

It’s time to move beyond the circumstances which forced me to take a couple days break from comments, but before I do that, just a quick reminder of why it had to be done. Personally most important was health. I’m trying to recover from a flare of a life-long disease. Stress makes this almost impossible. So that was a major factor. The other major factor was just simply that an out of control run of messages ignoring one of my major basic rules was taking place. I don’t allow political debate on this blog. This blog is for weather. There have always been times that I have allowed other discussions to slip in here and there, such as the natural gas incident or some sports talk, and other things that are common to us all. But regardless if it is one of these topics or the main topic of weather, the other major rule is people are not to wage personal attacks of any kind. It’s simply not allowed here. I think that’s easy enough to understand and abide by. If the issue is one that you just can’t let go of, then kindly invite the person to contact you privately so you can talk about your issues with them. I don’t think it’s too much to ask of any of you to just keep to the topic the blog is about and keep it civil. I created this blog to get away from the behavior that was prevalent in less-moderated forums. Let’s make it work for that purpose. Thanks in advance for your support in this endeavor.
