Policy

Welcome to my home on the Internet. Everyone who visits here is welcome to post, but please treat your visit like you would a visit to a private home or office.

I try to give everyone a fair shake of this blog, and to be flexible as needed. I never thought I’d need to have a blog policy, but with folowing unique visitor now, I have to setup some basic policy structure by which to manage the flow. That being said I do have a few rules that I will enforce to keep the dialog respectful and stimulating:

• Postings are moderated, I try to keep up, but on occasion there may be delays of a few hours.
• No vulgarities of any kind, nor links to sites that promote such.
• Respect is given to those with manners, those without manners that insult others or begin starting flame wars may find their posts deleted.
• Some off topic posts may get deleted, don’t take it personally, it happens.
• A spam filter is employed; some posts may disappear into it based on words, phrases, and/or links. If you feel you have been accidentally blocked, try posting a single one or two sentence comment to alert me and I’ll see if I can recover it for you.
• Trolls, flame-bait, personal attacks, and other detritus that add nothing to further the discussion may get deleted, take that personally if you wish, but all deletions are final. Grousing about it won’t help since deleted posts can’t be recovered. Rather than trying to edit, bulk moderation may be employed to save time.
• Internet phantoms who have cryptic handles, no name, and no real email address get no respect here. If you think your opinion or idea is important, elevate your status by being open and honest.
• You are responsible for your own words.
• People that use their real name get more respect than phantoms with handles.
• I reserve the right to modify the policy as needed, including on a an event basis.

Thanks for visiting, and please enjoy your stay!
