Rules of engagement for this blog

I love and welcome blog comments as they are good for community debate. So please let us know what you think

The rules around this blog and comments are as follows:

I welcome all comments positive or negative in the first instance but keep it on topic;
Each person can make no more than three negative comments in a row. The next comment must at least be constructive (not necessarily positive). This is to raise the quality of the discussion and stop trolling by those who only want to score personal or political points;
Comments that are critical and constructive are welcome but if they are largely just personal attacks they probably won’t be posted. If they are critical of individuals who will are not on Council then they probably will definately NOT go up or will be edited to remove these aspects.
Please use your real name. Civil discussion is about being willing to put our name too and stand behind our views.

cheers, Brad
