  • Commenting Policy

    Here at the PLoS Blogs, we try to keep things civil and neat. Frank disagreements and dissenting opinions are welcome, but please avoid obscenity, libel and other rude behaviors. Decisions of the management are arbitrary and final. Remember, I’m an editor: making writers’ words disappear is what I do.
