I deleted a comment this morning concerning the article on Operation Warp Speed. The comment was made in a different post since I stopped comments on the original post.
From the About Page:
Comments:
Comments are always welcome but we reserve the right to use our discretion on the validity of the comment’s intent. Comments which are intended to incite or provoke readers will not be posted. Comments that are off topic or make false/misleading accusations will be deleted. That includes adding links to other articles that are not pertinent to the article’s content. Comments that include foul language will be deleted.
I stopped further comments on the Operation Warp Speed post because the comments were not addressing the article’s content and became personal attacks. I do not stop comments lightly but should have stopped them earlier on that post.
I could state again that this site’s purpose is to give its readers information for them to make decisions for their individual future efforts. I could state that we always encourage people to do their own research. I could state that marginalizing the content of articles without proof or attacking other commenters is not allowed.
I could but what is the point? People still want to get up on a soap box and divide instead of uniting for the coming war. Some may disagree with this assessment but the hour is rather late to beat a dead horse.
I have a limited amount of time to prepare and the time to monitor comments is one task that is taking too much of my time. Comments are important to our effort and I will continue to allow them. This is not an admission of any perceived power: I consider it an honor to help educate, hopefully motive and fight evil with this site.
I do have some requests: please help educate and inform people. If you have information to distribute, put the links into the comment. If you disagree with a comment, be respectful and state your reasons in a cogent fashion. If you have information that you want me to post, send an email instead of posting it as a comment.
Once again, I know times are stressful but foul language does not make a valid point. It does marginalize your opinion. Attacking me or any other author serves no purpose. I let stand two comments in the past week which were out of line. The first stated that I put the W in wrong concerning the repatriation of the Iranian ship last week. I doubt we will see a retraction or an apology. The second called me a lazy parrot for an article which I did not post. I have to ask why people attack other people without cause unless they are trolling.
The readers at NCRenegade help to make this site successful by forwarding articles (please do not forward emails of articles that allow people to unsubscribe you – forward the URL), making good comments and fighting evil. Just to be clear, I make no money from advertising on this site. The only solicitations I have ever made were for books for the community center library and Christmas cards in 2022.
If you like this site, please consider how you can make it better with comments and suggestions.

Thank you for all you do to provide a site where people can share their opinions as well as inform others about topics of interest. What I have found is that some will share information I already know but their approach, explanation, and opinion clarifies for me where I stand. And thanks to others who have shared their ideas to help me in my effort to grow towards wisdom.
Managing a comment section is pretty difficult. Another blog I visit has some very intelligent and very wealthy commenters (scientists and inventors). But they still get involved in attacking each other. It appears to be human nature. Especially, from a keyboard.
when able to hide behind the keyboard, many get awfully brave and say things that if in person, they wouldn’t dare say for fear of getting smacked.
DD, thank you!
