Rules, because a topic like this needs boundries

Yup, that's right. There will be rules for commenting on this blog. It may seem silly, and I understand that there most likely won't be enough visitors for me to act on these. On the other hand, I also recognize that I will be asking questions that could easily be the cause of argument and that this is the internet, not everyone is going to respect each other. So I am going to set up mutual boundaries, okay? Okay.
  1. There will be no name calling, swearing, or using the Lords name in vain.
  2. You must be able to accept that there are opinions that directly oppose yours, and you must be willing to be grown up about it.
  3. Derogatory slurs against any demographic will not be tolerated. I mean it, this upsets me so much.
  4. If there is a troll or a flamer, do not respond or give them attention, I will moderate them to my best ability, but you undermine what I can do if you engage them
  5. If you get frustrated while having a discussion with me or someone else and you just feel like yelling or name calling, simply say that you do not wish to peruse the point any further.
  6. If someone says that they no longer want to discus something, observe that and do not continue pestering them.
  7. If someone chooses to discontinue a discussion the other side has not "won" it is not about winning.
If a rule is broken I will mark you appropriately (since I believe I can not delete comments) and if you were really misbehaving I will not refrain from sending you a reprimanding email, because I am just that annoying. And no, I don't observe almost any of these in real life, I am not that good of a kid.

These rules will be updated accordingly, thank you for your time.
