“Seek first to understand, then to be understood”.
1.) Please READ THE ENTIRE POST. Some posts are short while others are long. The points you may want to make may already be in the body of the post itself.
2.) STAY ON TOPIC– please do not post something unrelated to the specific matter and content of the post subject.
3.) NARROW YOUR THOUGHTS– Quality beats quantity. If you have four or five disconnected points, break them up into individual comments.
4.) BLOCK PARAGRAPHS– Do not post huge blocks of text. NEVER post massive blocks of text without paragraph breaks.
5.) PARAGRAPHS– Should NEVER be longer than two or three sentences taking up three to five standard lines of text. The emphasis should be on the reader comprehending what you are sharing.
6.) MANY ARE WATCHING–Do not write anything you would not say in your own living room. Do not disparage the conversation with vulgarity, profanity, or any expressions of any “ism”.
7.) MODERATION – We will do our earnest best to stop the hater hoard at the moderation gates, however sometimes they get through. If you see something untoward, say something.
8.) MANNERS MATTER– Simple kindnesses and courtesy should always be present in tone and content. When writing, ask yourself before you hit “send” does this add value?
