Comments Policy


M&M is extremely pleased to see how many comments are being posted lately, probably as a result of the recent article "Coming Attractions." However, a recent abuse in comments has made need for a policy to be set.


  1. M&M does not want to impose too many limitations or restrictions on the commenting. (Don't draw conclusions--M&M is non-partisan. [Until the next election, at least.]) Nevertheless, M&M must be a safe environment for all posters. In order to preserve a comfortable setting, it is vital to maintain the anonymity of the those who comment who choose to remain anonymous.

  2. Therefore, any comment which jeopardizes the full anonymity or which may disclose any private information which should not be disclosed will promptly be removed or edited.

  3. M&M owns all comments and information posted on this site.

  4. It is official M&M policy that the attempt to discover the identity of any anonymous commenter is an offensive and inappropriate act. Therefore, all M&M readers are requested in the strongest manner to abstain from attempting to uncover the identity of any anonymous commenter.

  5. Should an M&M reader have an inkling of suspicion as to the identity of a commenter, the reader is to keep that suspicion to himself or herself and never disseminate that feeling to anyone else.

  6. The statements of this policy shall be nullified in regards to a commenter when he or she shall make his or her identity known. This provides for people to discuss the first name of the commenter who has revealed his or her first name but not more. Thus, the level of allowed discussion of a commenter's identity is equal to the degree of identification to which the commenter has identified himself or herself.

  7. This policy shall be accepted by all readers upon opening the web page of this blog. This policy is effective immediately and retroactively.

M&M chose to make this policy in a pseudo-legal format because it was a good shtickle to do so. Additionally, M&M recently read the actual proposed act of forbidding circumcision in Massachusetts. The Vos Iz Neias news story covering this act can be found by clicking here.


M&M would also like to inform its readers that it doesn't care if anyone understood what was said above. Basically, M&M reserves the right to do whatever it wants with anything on this site.

  1. First comment! So, to clear the air a little- I am NOT the anonymous of the previous posts. Secondly, who is Avi? Shpectroshcopy... On your brilliant exposé of the Devash milk, I must ask rhetorically- taken from Shai Ben Tekoa at deprogramprogram.com- what are the roshei teivot of Government Of Israel in Yiddish?

  6. First of all, as a general disclaimer sorry. Sheeeeeesh.
    Second, note how the author (I'm getting better- see word 14) writes "Rashe Tebot"- SEFARADI. Booyakasha, M&M is own the good side. Oops, is this on the internet?

  7. The royshei teivos are in English- the word is Hebrew, but I believe more used in Ashkenazi/Yiddish circles... It wasn't that funny, so I'm not sure if this is so worth it.

  8. For those who don't get it: the Rashe Tebot of Government Of Israel spell out GOI or GOY or גו"י. Very funny and yes, very satmar...
