Thorough analysis thrives when people think out loud. To keep the conversation productive, keep these principles in mind:

• Evidence is the currency: Analysis here is evidence-based and structurally grounded. If you want to dispute a conclusion, bring counter-evidence. The conversation will be better for it.

• Disagreement vs. Abuse: Disagreement is welcome; abuse is not. The distinction isn’t complicated. Comments designed to be unpleasant rather than constructive will be removed without discussion. Repeat offenders will be removed without ceremony.

• Zero Tolerance: Misinformation, harassment, and bad-faith arguments have no place here, regardless of the target.

The baseline for participation is good faith. Everything else follows from there.
