State-Journal.com's comments forum is for civil, constructive dialogue about news topics in our community, state, nation and world. We emphasize "civil" at a time when Americans, in the words of the current president, need to "turn down the temperature" of political debates. The State Journal will do its part by more carefully policing this forum. Here are some rules that all commenters must agree to follow:Absolutely no attacks on other commenters, on guest columnists or on authors of letters to the editor. Our print and online opinion pages are sacred marketplaces of ideas where diverse viewpoints are welcome without fear of retribution. You may constructively critique the ideas and opinions of others, but name-calling, stereotyping and similar attacks are strictly prohibited.Leeway will be given for criticism of elected officials and other public figures, but civility is essential. If you focus your criticism on ideas, opinions and viewpoints, you will be less likely to run afoul of our commenting rules.Keep comments focused on the article or commentary in question. Don't use an article about the Frankfort City Commission, for example, to rant about national politics.Hyperpartisanship that suggests anyone on the other side of an issue or anyone in a particular particular party is evil is not welcome. If you believe that all Democrats are socialists intent on destroying America or that all Republicans are racists, there are lots of places on the internet for you to espouse those views.
