What is Your Comment Policy?

Today's post is a part of the coComment Parenting Challenge. Leave a comment and you may win a prize. Learn more.

So many of us who are mom bloggers have had to make a comment policy for our blogs at one point or another, one that hinges on either maintaining free speech or creating a negative-free zone on our blogs. Many bloggers (and I am guilty of this as well) can be rather opinionated about matters of great importance whether it is a parenting style or breaking news, and when we veer into the realm of controversy and debate all types of comments are left as a result.

In all my years of blogging (I've been blogging since 2004) I have never erased a comment save those that are clearly spam. Comments that disagree with anything I have written always remain on my blog because I do not believe in silencing those with dissenting opinions, even if I'm called every name in the book. I believe in open debate on blogs even if it gets ugly.

What is your comment policy? Do you delete or not approve comments that clearly disagree with you, or are all comments fair game?
