theOrcasonian readers welcome your comments. We do require FULL NAME. In a recent survey, our readers opted to “let ‘er rip” when it comes to commenting, but if it’s really bad, we will remove the comment. If it’s really, really bad you will be blocked. Our readership requests that you be civil. No ad hominem attacks. Smile! You’re on Orcas Island.

While we appreciate each comment, if your comment does not follow our comment policy, it will be removed. Continuous abuse of the policy will result in permanent ban of the IP address, domain, and the email used.
