My Comment Policy
I am excited about hosting interesting conversation and Christian fellowship on this site. To make things respectful in our discourse, I have laid a few simple ground rules. There will be no shouting, vulgar language, or degrading conversation that discourages others from participating.
By posting on my blog, you agree to the following:
By posting on my blog, you agree to the following:
- You may comment without registering. You can log-in or not. It’s up to you.
- You may post anonymously. I don’t recommend it, but you may if you wish. I might change this rule if it is abused.
- You may post follow-up questions. If you have a question, chances are you are not alone. I would rather receive your comments on my blog than via email. It is better to address everyone at once rather than answer several similar emails.
- You may disagree with me. I welcome debate! However, I ask that if you disagree with me—or anyone else, for that matter—do so in a way that is respectful. There is way too much shouting and rudeness in the public square. I will not tolerate it here.
- I reserve the right to delete your comments. This is my blog. I don’t have an obligation to publish your comments. If you’re a U.S. citizen, The First Amendment gives you the right to express your opinions on your blog not mine.Specifically, I will delete your comments if you post something that is, in my sole opinion, (a) snarky; (b) off-topic; (c) libelous, defamatory, abusive, harassing, threatening, profane, pornographic, offensive, false, misleading, or which otherwise violates or encourages others to violate my sense of decorum and civility or any law, including intellectual property laws; or (d) “spam,” i.e., an attempt to advertise, solicit, or otherwise promote goods and services. You may, however, post a link to your site or your most recent blog post.
- You retain ownership of your comments. I do not own them. I expressly disclaim any and all liability that may result from your comments. By commenting on my site, you agree that you retain all ownership rights in what you post here and that you will relieve me from any and all liability that may result from those postings.
- You grant me a license to post your comments. This license is worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive, and royalty-free. You grant me the right to store, use, transmit, display, publish, reproduce, and distribute your comments in any format, including but not limited to a blog, in a book, a video, or presentation.
