Ce blog est ouvert à la contradiction par la voie de commentaires. Je tiens ce blog depuis fin 2005. Tout lecteur peut commenter sous email valide et sous anonymat. Tout peut être écrit mais dans le respect de la liberté de penser de chacun et la courtoisie. Je modère les commentaires pour éviter le spam et d'autres entrées malheureuses possibles. Cela peut prendre un certain temps avant que votre commentaire n'apparaisse, surtout si je suis en déplacement.
