Comment Policy

Your comments are welcome! Comments create conversations, maintain and strengthen connections, and they’re an excellent way for me to find cool new stuff. I want to hear from you!

Because I want to foster a welcoming and safe atmosphere for everyone, I have developed the following working guidelines.

  • Comments that are abusive, threatening, and hateful (including racist, sexist, ableist, sizeist, religiophobic, homophobic, and transphobic) will be removed.
  • Profanity is not offensive to me unless it’s used as a weapon. Some “bad words” are more acceptable than others. Please use good taste.
  • Relevant links and signatures are okay. Spam and blatant advertising will be removed.
  • A pattern of incivility, hostility and harassment, or unwillingness to respect the rules laid out here will result in a permanent ban from this site.
  • If your comment falls into moderation, I will get it out of moderation as quickly as possible.

I value diversity and welcome a variety of opinions. I also appreciate hospitality. In that spirit, I ask that commenters post in good faith.

“And that is just the point… how the world, moist and beautiful, calls to each of us to make a new and serious response. That’s the big question, the one the world throws at you every morning. ‘Here you are, alive. Would you like to make a comment?'” -Mary Oliver
