Commenting Guidelines

With the recent influx of hits that I have been getting (the hits for this blog have totaled over 200 respectively for a couple of days this week, a number I could not imagine having when I started this blog and a number I never thought I'd get when I started tracking hits per day in June) I guess it's time to lay down some commenting guidelines. Besides, as mentioned below, I'm completely bored right now with nothing to do and this gives me somthing to do.

In general, I'm pretty laid back when it comes to commenting and that's not going to change, however, I would like to make it clear what is and what is not acceptable.

1. I am one of the few blogs, I believe, that still allow annonymous commenting. And I plan on keeping it this way as it allows those that want to protect any and all identity to do so and still have their opinions heard.

2. I bring that up, because the majority of anonymous comments I get are in my "RIP" posts in which they mock the dead. Any post that mocks and/or makes fun of a recently departed person will be deleted on the spot. I have always done so, but I want it spelled out. The comment section of the eulogies on my blog are not the time or the place to make fun of recently dead people, no matter how controversial they are or how much you hate them. Take those elsewhere, please.

3. I do not mind if you disagree with anything that I say, but keep your disagreements knowledgeable and make sense in doing so. I am not a complete idiot who knows nothing just because you disagree with my opinions. I will respect your views if you respect mine. I do not mind debating, au contraire, I encourage it, but let's keep any and all debate civil and about the subject on hand and not an insult fest.

4. I do not mind cursing at all, however there are some words that I would prefer not to see on this blog. In other words, DON'T USE THEM AT ALL! These words include

The R-word used to refer to those that are intellectually disabled. Sadly, this word is used way too much in everyday language and no one even stops to think twice as to what it actually means. I'm an education major and even though my life has not been directly impacted by mental retardation in the form of family and friends, I take this matter very seriously and I take great offense to any use of the word other than it's original intended purpose, as used earlier in this sentence. Even then, I'd prefer "intellectually disabled".

The N-word. 'Nuff said.

The F-word used in reference of homosexuals. You can say "fuck" all you want and I won't give a fuck, but type the f-word that is a synonym for "gay" and "homosexual", and I won't be happy.

Any other derogatory word used to demean someone's race, ethnicity, and sexuality, whether using it in that context or are just using that word as people use the aforementioned R-word is not allowed.

I would be shocked if this needs to be said, but all of the above go for any and all forms of the word, and not just the base word itself.

5. Seeing as I do occasional political and cable news posts, any comparing of any political or cable news personality to Nazi Germany is prohibited. Then again, making such an outlandish, ludicrous comparison only makes yourself to look like a complete, misinformed moron.

6. Any and all spamming is prohibited. I get enough of it in my GMail inbox (I am already a daily recipient of a million British pounds, I don't need anymore, thank you), I don't need it in the comments section of my blog. Also, I am not interested in any of your "business deals". I do this blog as a hobby just for fun. I want nothing more or less out of it. So whether you are a spammer or are indeed serious in your offer (at which point, I laugh at you and your patheticness) the answer is no.

7. As amusing as these can be, telling glorious stories about how your dick fought off a crocidile and how wonderful it is to have cum on your tummy is not allowed. However, do realize that if you're any good at these, you would have gotten me to laugh before your comment goes bye-bye.

8. Any and all links to pornography will at first be checked out in full by yours truly. But seeing as no one can stack up to what I have to offer, I will walk away from your site disappointed and your comment will suffer a fate written out below.

Failure to adhere to any or all of the above will result in immediate deletion of your comment. Yes, even the porn. Thank you for your patronage and continue to enjoy the blog!
