Update (3/24/05): For any reason, at any time, and depending on my mood, your comment may be deleted or edited with or without an explanation or warning. Comment on this blog at your own risk. If you insist on an explanation, read this. If you still don’t like it, tell your story walking. The queen of this domain has spoken.
The rules below are still in effect, but this one gets to the bottom line in a hurry, don’t you think?
————————————————————————————————–
This is my comment policy, which will be updated as the need arises:
1) Do not call me names! Please don’t offend or insult the blog hostess. If I get into specifics, this post would never end. Just use common sense. Don’t imply or state that I’m stupid, for example. Don’t call me a puppet or mouthpiece of white conservatives. And if you call my argument stupid, you must explain why.
Don’t call other commenters names, either. Attack the argument, not the person.
2) I am queen of www.lashawnbarber.com because this is my weblog. I pay for the hosting and I make the rules.
You have no First Amendment rights on this blog. My right to free speech is protected on this site, not yours.
Mini-civics lesson: The First Amendment restricts government, not private citizens, from infringing on your right to free speech. On this blog, your speech is a privilege. On your blog, your speech is a right. Learn the distinction.
3) No profanity or quasi-profanity, such as the vulgar reference to urination, pi**. I hate that word.
4) Stay on-topic. While I won’t delete off-topic comments, I prefer they be relevant to the post. If you have an off-topic question or issue, e-mail me.
5) I reserve the right to edit or delete any comment for any reason. If I edit your comment, most of the time I’ll add a notation, such as “Edited by the Admin” or “Nice try, troll!”
6) You get one warning before you are banned, although there are exceptions (If I really like you, you’ll get three warnings.). Being banned from my domain means your IP is blocked from accessing the entire site.
7) I prefer real names, but if you are anonymous or use an alias for privacy, that’s OK (As if I’d know anyway, right?).
Trackbacks leading to offensive posts where I’m the subject will be deleted.
