Basic blog commenting rules

This is a beta part of the website. For now, only the Government blog will be supported.
BLOG RULES

Think about your digital privacy. In other words, don't post your full name, address, school etc. Just because I've password protected the site doesn't mean it's fully sheltered; this is the internet, after all.

Be polite; write comments as though you were in the room next to the person. 
If there's a criticism to be made, do it in a thoughtful, respectful way. 

Stay on topic. Avoid silly or strange comments that distract from the conversation.

Use proper grammar/spelling. You may be online, but there is no character limit here, so write using the standard conventions of English. That includes capitalization.
