\~ just saw an interesting question that came in as a comment on one of my posts recently. There's been a bit of a backlog of comments awaiting moderation due to a busy schedule. A certain **m.f.aurelius** (whom I suspect is a mister) asked:

> I’m wondering if it’s your policy to censor and edit comments, as you’ve done in the comments in response to this article? Is there any point to allowing comments on a blog if you edit them so as to alter their meaning?

It seems like a good time to explain my approach to this matter:

**1**: Please refer to the [rules of engagement](https://katecarruthers6748.live-website.com/rules-of-engagement/?ref=katecarruthers.com) for this blog. If you don't like them please feel free to go read & engage with other blogs.

**2**: I do not edit the content of comments, they are either *approved and published* or *not published* based on the principles outlined the rules of engagement. There is no compulsion for me to approve every comment posted.

**3**: Comments that disagree with posts have often been approved & published. Comments that include a combination of scatological, sexist and racist statements are generally deleted.
