Lambert and I, and plenty of readers, agree that Ukraine has prompted the worst informational atmosphere ever. We hope readers will collaborate in mitigating the fog of warfare — each actual fog and stage fog — in feedback. None of us want extra cheerleading and link-free repetition of memes; there are platforms for that. Low-value, link-free pom pom-wavers will likely be summarily whacked.
And for individuals who are new right here, this isn’t a mere well mannered request. We’ve written website Insurance policies and those that remark have accepted these phrases. To forestall having to resort to the nuclear possibility of shutting feedback down fully till extra sanity prevails, as we did in the course of the 2015 Greek bailout negotiations and shortly after the 2020 election, we’re going to be ruthless about moderating and blacklisting offenders.

P.S. Additionally, earlier than additional stressing our already confused moderators, learn our website insurance policies:
Please don’t write us to ask why a remark has not appeared. We should not have the bandwidth to research and reply.
