I want you and everyone else to feel at home when you post a comment on this blog.
The No. 1 house rule is simple: Don’t be a jerk.
Here’s what I like to see in comments:
-
Weigh in with smart, informed ideas that contribute further to the article.
-
Provide useful, constructive criticism. Spot a typo or an error? Let me know and I will correct it.
-
Demonstrate and share the intelligence, wisdom, and humor you possess.
-
Don’t feed the trolls.
Although I can’t be everywhere at once, here are some of the kinds of comments I am going to do my best to curtail:
-
Promoting your own brand, product, or blog.
-
Impersonating authors or other commenters.
-
Comments that make it clear you didn’t read the article.
-
Comments that are completely out of left field.
-
Threats, personal attack — no matter how vague — against me or other commenters.
-
Racism, sexism, homophobia, you get the drift.
-
Trolling.
