I’ve updated my comments policy again. Sadly there are too many antisocial types who post really long-winded comments, which all too frequently dilutes the main purpose of each post with off topic points. On the whole, I prefer not to edit people’s comments. I had already imposed a maximum word length and this seemed to work. Certainly it gave certain commentators a discipline which they otherwise seemed to lack – they got their points across far more succintly. However, 500 words was far too generous. The reason for further limiting it is that my experience has been that serious commentators can manage to limit their comments to fewer words and only the ramblers use more. Therefore, this morning I’ve installed an automatic comment character limiter. This restricts the commentator to 1,700 characters, which is enough for approximately 250 words, according to the legendary in its own copy writing lunch hour lorem ipsum generator. That ought to be long enough to make a point without beginning to dominate the discussion.
