It seems that we are undergoing some very serious site issues. I do not know what’s going on, we’re trying to deal with it. It seems that the right sidebar has moved from the right to the bottom, and that the page doesn’t load well. This happened quite suddenly, we’re trying to find out what happened.
Meanwhile, you should be able to read articles, to comment, etc. despite the problems.
UPDATE: Sidebar should be appearing normally now.
PoliGazette Comments Policy
PoliGazette encourages comments from all viewpoints, especially those that disagree.
Comments submitted must, however, adhere to the following standards. Comments that violate
these standards may be edited or deleted without notice at the sole discretion of the editors.
Commenters who repeatedly or egregiously violate these standards or who attempt to argue
publicly with editors regarding the comments policy may be banned from commenting further.
(1) Comments should address the substantive content of the post. Comments that repeatedly
or blatantly misrepresent the content of the post or of others' comments are not welcome. Comments that
respond to something other than which the contributor or commenter may have said are irrelevant and should
not be posted.
(2) Comments should avoid vulgarity as well as racial, ethnic, religious, or sexual bigotry.
(3) Comments should not personally attack the character, personal integrity, or professional
reputation of any PoliGazette contributor or of other commenters.
(4) Comments should reflect the contributions of the commenters themselves and should not
include extensive cut-and-paste reproductions of others' words except insofar as necessary to supplement
the commenter's own arguments. Link spam, trackback spam, and propaganda spam will be instantly deleted.
(5) Public figures are considered open to all substantive criticism of their policies and statements.
Comments that present objectively false factual information about public figures (i.e. "Obama is a Muslim") or
that attack public figures by attacking their families are not welcome. Comments that merely repeat
slogans for or against a candidate without engaging in substantive comment are not welcome.
Questions or challenges to these policies or their application should be directed to the editors
by email only.

Well, here in North American, it is the season when Sidebars (along with Geese) migrate south for the winter…
By the way, Michael, I do love the new site design. It’s much easier for me to read, though I wouldn’t at all mind if you expanded the header to include the last logo and punched up the colors a little bit. I think it’s easier to navigate my way around the site this way.
i haven’t been able to use blockquote or indent buttons since this edition of the website. multiple computers, although all Linux and all with Firefox 3.0.2
Blockquote and indent don’t work on this theme. I’ve tried a hundred solutions, the html codes just get censored out no matter what. The plugin author reports that some themes just won’t accept the codes.
We regret any inconvenience. I would recommend using italics for quotations.
