A few days ago, reader Willman was banned for making rude comments in violation of TTAC’s  commenting policy. Willman is back.

He is back, because in a private message to Shaikh Jalal Ahmad, Willman “apologized and gave a bit of human context for the particular state he was in during posting, all of which I very much appreciated. “ Willman most of all is back, because Shaikh asked for it.

Please read TTAC’s  commenting policy. It is quite simple: Readers can say anything , as long as they say it nicely. Attacks, name calling etc. are not allowed.

You can say:: “[INSERT NAME OF CAR COMPANY HERE] makes the worst cars on earth.”

You cannot say: ”You dickhead, [INSERT NAME OF CAR COMPANY HERE] makes the worst cars on earth.”

You can say: “Get it?”  You cannot say: “Get it, asshole?”

As simple as this rule may be, some still seem to misunderstand it. All we ask for at TTAC is that discussions are conducted in a civilized way. People who  think that their rights to free speech are abridged if they are asked to expand their vocabulary beyond four letter words, should better use a different forum.
