We moderate the comments posted here. Mostly, we do it to prevent comment spam, and to keep things nice and pretty. So that there's no confusion, here's more on what we expect and won't allow from people who care to post comments on The Virtual Wire. First, it's important to share that our basic philosophy about this is summed up this way:
- We are responsible for our own experiences
- We need to treat each other well, and with respect
- We need to come to the conversations we engage in with a generosity of spirit
If we do those things, experience tells us there will be few problems, so those are our basic expectations of those who choose to comment here.
Behave with those three things in mind, and we shouldn't have a reason to nuke your comment. For those who won't bear them in mind, please bear this in mind: This is our blog. If you aren't inclined to play nice, we won't let you play at all. One more thing -- please keep your comments on topic. we won't publish off-topic posts, although we will probably address them with you directly in email. A better way for you to get off-topic information or general questions answered is to send us email.
Think of this as a playground with some generally easy-to-follow rules. Those who play by the rules get free access. The bully, on the other hand, simply isn't welcome. Feel free to learn, play, make new friends, debate issues (not people), contribute thoughts, and generally have a good time.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email us (wired@thevirtualwire.com)
