Just across the page from the letter you published by Tom Sabel on December 17, I read this rule for letters to the editor: Keep it polite: No name-calling or mud-slinging.

How on earth did Tom’s vicious letter get published, I wonder? Here are some of the pejorative, inflammatory words and phrases he used about Trump: pathetic, supine, cowardly, without an ounce of empathy, insane, nonsense, con, fleecing, frivolous.

Please allow your rules to apply both to those who support Trump and to those who oppose him. Going forward, please allow your rules to apply both to those who support Biden and to those who oppose him. Please allow principles to determine the expression of personal opinions. 

Thank you for your efforts to keep this newspaper relevant and responsible.
