专题介绍
Welcome to the Britannica Blog. As we say on our home page, the site is a place for smart, lively conversations about a broad range of topics. Our aim is to have discussions that are both stimulating and civil. We want to keep the rules simple and few, but we do need some rules, so here they are. They apply to bloggers and commentators alike.
- No bigotry
- No profanity
- No advocating violence or flagrantly immoral conduct
- No pornography or links thereto
- No personal attacks. Intellectual argument is fine, but please, nothing ad hominem.
- Nothing that would offend most reasonable people
- No purely or primarily commercial messages
- No spam. As a definition of spam, we like that of blogher.org: “nonsense unrelated to the discussion,” though we reserve the right, on occasion, to delete even relevant nonsense or irrelevant sense.

This has affected street-level businesses selling books, movies, and music. ...

The glaciers are melting in Antarctica, and one of these days well likely regret that fact. Not concerned with deep space exclusively, NASA has been documenting the processes, and taking some stunning photographs of the continent besides, as part of what it bills as the largest airborne survey ever made of ice at Earths polar regions.
