Comments
From its inception, The Lunch Tray has been a safe and respectful place in which to air all sorts of views related to the “kids and food” issues I write about. Everyone from school food professionals to concerned parents, from vegans to junk food lovers, have come by over the years to share their thoughts. This diversity of views only enhances the blog, and no comment has ever been or ever will be rejected for expressing a dissenting opinion.
That said, however, I will not post any comment containing ad hominem (personal) attacks, profanity, rudeness or other nastiness (including a snide or needling tone), so please word your comments accordingly. If I’m particularly offended by and/or receive several clearly violative comments from the same person, I will note the IP address from which the comments originate and all future comments will go directly into my spam filter without moderation. The same is true for commenters using aliases and multiple email addresses to appear to be more than one reader. I will use my reasonable judgment, based on IP addresses and other information, to determine if a commenter is engaging in this practice.
