We give the opportunity to comment as a way to cultivate intelligent discussion and debate. Comments that stray from this objective, regardless of whether they agree or disagree with our articles’ viewpoints, are subject to editing and/or deletion.

We reserve the right to edit or delete comments that:

• Use any language that is derogatory, abusive, libelous or discriminatory on the basis of race, religion, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, age, region, disability, etc.

• Threaten others, including the author of the article, other individuals who post comments on the site, etc.

• Publish or distribute any content that advertises or solicits goods or services.

• By our judgment, are unacceptable.

Pronouns Policy

In an attempt to acknowledge all aspects of people’s identities, we have decided to include the pronouns of those mentioned in our articles as of Volume 52, Issue 1 (released November 2022). In the event someone uses two different pronouns, such as she/they, we will use one pronoun for one paragraph, then alternate each paragraph thereafter. We hope that through this change in style, we are able to represent the Viking Community properly.
