Please be civilized in posting your comments

Dear Readers,

We are extremely disturbed to read the vulgar language used by some of our Readers in posting their comments (such as those directed at Ms. Theary Seng). It is understandable that you may not agree with the opinion expressed in some of the articles posted here, but this does not justify the use of the vulgar language nor the contentious, false and twisted innuendo.

We are indebted to the many authors who have contributed their articles, cartoons, poems etc… for posting here and we are deeply grateful for their sharing. Just because these authors send in their articles frequently, it does not mean that they have free time on their hands, it simply means that they care enough and are willing to spend their time to share their opinion with us, in the same manner as some of you would spend time reading the postings and providing your comments.

Therefore, we once again urge all our Readers to be polite and civilized in your comments. Should you have a strong dissenting opinion to voice about an article and should you need more prominence in the display of your message, please send them to us at kiletters@gmail.com, and we would gladly post them for you, as long as they are not vulgar.

We would really appreciate your cooperation on this important issue.

Thank you,
