Commenting

I’ve gotten a few comments from people I don’t know… at least, I don’t know that I know them, or they’re trying to remain anonymous. I’ve gotten a few dropping f-bombs or other foul language. I delete them as soon as I see them. Others are rude. Some like to incite.

Generally, I don’t care what’s said on my blog, but keep in mind a few things.

1. Don’t be vulgar. My family and my parents read this site. And a lot of my friends who read this site are Mormon. While foul language doesn’t really bother me, I don’t want it being associated with my site. At all. If you can’t write intelligently enough to not drop an f-bomb (or other vulgarities), then you probably shouldn’t write comments on my site. Go over to Youtube. If I don’t know you, I’m likely to ban you from posting in the future. And if I do know you, I’ll harangue you and then edit your comment.

2. I tolerate rudeness a lot better from people I know. For those of you that like to be rude or incite others, that’s fine… if I know you. If I don’t know you, I think it’s pretty cowardly to run your mouth about how stupid me or others are. At the very least, have the spine to put your real email address when you comment, and reply to my emails when I ask you who you are.

3. Don’t get drastically off topic from the post topic. Or specifically, if I close comments on a specific blog because things were getting out of hand, don’t go to another unrelated blog and post your comments. That’s just immature. If you have something you feel inclined to tell me related to something I’ve closed down, email me or call me. If you don’t know how to contact me, then I probably don’t want to hear from you anyway.

4. Don’t pass judgement on me regarding my standing in the Church and think you’ll get away with it. I won’t really say any more about that, because God metes out justice, not me.
