The South Wales Guardian 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.
