A Comment About Comments

Johns Creek voters are just 11 days away from casting their ballots in the city elections.

Elections can often produce heated debates. And while Patch welcomes community members to speak out it's important Patch users remember the terms of service agreed to when establishing an account with Johns Creek Patch.

And to those commenters who choose to use pseudo names rather than their own, before you hit that "post" button, re-read your words and ask yourself if you would be willing to put that comment out there if your name was attached to it.
