Now, Everybody... Play Nice!

I will offer a worthy fact-check and response to Baylen's critique of my Reporter's Notebook entry shortly.

In the meantime, this is just to say that I welcome the debate, with a worthy adversary, with whom we both agree on the pressing need to end drug prohibition, and that I personally bumped Baylen's comments to the center-column here because I think this debate is long overdue in the drug policy reform movement, and I'm thrilled that finally at least one person on the "economic libertarian" side of the spectrum has risen to the challenge to debate the role of "free market" politics in drug prohibition.

So, all ye co-publishers, play nice with Baylen! This is not personal... It's politics... and he's doing a great service by his willingness to debate.

I personally intend to teach him a few things that, it's obvious, he doesn't know!

Our Policy on Comment Submissions: Co-publishers of Narco News (which includes The Narcosphere and The Field) may post comments without moderation. All co-publishers comment under their real name, have contributed resources or volunteer labor to this project, have filled out this application and agreed to some simple guidelines about commenting.

Narco News has recently opened its comments section for submissions to moderated comments (that’s this box, here) by everybody else. More than 95 percent of all submitted comments are typically approved, because they are on-topic, coherent, don’t spread false claims or rumors, don’t gratuitously insult other commenters, and don’t engage in commerce, spam or otherwise hijack the thread. Narco News reserves the right to reject any comment for any reason, so, especially if you choose to comment anonymously, the burden is on you to make your comment interesting and relevant. That said, as you can see, hundreds of comments are approved each week here. Good luck in your comment submission!
