After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES
decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our
website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded
accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any
true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become
evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our
website.
Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on
our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the
editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper
circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much
higher. Letters must include a name and phone number so that we may contact
the writer to verify authenticity of the letter. Letters are limited to 500
words and one letter per writer per month is accepted.
