Comment Guidelines

While this blog is still young, it seems important to set some guidelines for commenting.

1) Minimize profanity - it is possible to get your point across without resorting to cursing. Using that type of language rarely helps, and often takes away from your point. While it is sometimes useful depending on the context, overuse diminishes what ever value it may have had.

2) Avoid personal attacks - It is acceptable and even encouraged to have a passionate debate about the topic. It is not acceptable to attack people.

3) Keep with the topic - While debates are a good thing, make sure they are relevant to the post the comment is going with.

4) Feel free to link your comment to your blog or other website - As long as your comment is more than a thinly veiled attempt at advertising your own webpage, you can add your sites URL in your tag line along with your name.

5) No Spam - This needs no explanation, just be sure that your comment doesn't look like spam.

6) No Illegal Posting - this includes no solicitation or sales of illegal materials will be permitted to remain on this site, and be sure to quote and site properly if applicable.


Note: the opinions of commenter's are their own. Just because I do not take them down in no way means I agree with them.
