Would anyone like to submit this as a letter to the editor of the Pilot over their own name? Neither I nor Dr. Tabor can publish LTEs right now, but be my guest, if the community approves. I’ll revise the text in response to feedback.

WHRV’s Cathy Lewis recently aired an excellent show segment on newspaper comments sections, inspired by the Pilot’s decision to cancel its own comments feature. Regrettably, no one from the Pilot was able to join the show. I hope Ms. Lewis and the Pilot will try again.
Readers who miss Pilot comments may want to know of Tidewater News and Opinion Forum, a free venue that encourages commentary on Pilot, and other, content of local interest.
Tidewater Forum is lightly moderated to ensure civility. Topics for discussion are posted by members of the Forum community themselves and may be of any political viewpoint or local interest.

Why are you two unable to post, the once-a-month rule?

Yes, but I’m under the impression the rule is once every three months. Or so the Pilot told me a LONG time ago.

I believe that is an old rule and they changed it to 30 days. We have seen letters from the same person on more than one occasion that wasn’t three months apart.

I’d edit that to ‘lightly moderated’
