The South Wales Argus website hosts comments on stories on the basis that we expect readers to respond, if they wish, with civil and rational argument.
We do not respond when we are attacked because people have a right to express opinions on our work, whether we think they are fair or not.
But some contributors seem to think our website gives them a free opportunity to unleash personal insults against individuals.
This is unnacceptable and, although the site is unmoderated, we will remove such comments at the first possible opportunity.

Comments: Our rules
We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues. The ability to comment on our stories is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused.
Please report any comments that break our rules.
