A Quick Apology to Readers/Commenters

Currently the oldest comment awaiting moderation is about 13 months old. It has about 90 newer colleagues waiting to be moderated. Those colleagues are mostly thought-provoking comments that I simply haven't had time to properly digest and respond to. I hope I'll get the chance soon to wade through some of that backlog. In the meantime, I beg my readers' and commenters' patience.

    While I sometimes wonder at your self-imposed need to "digest" all comments before allowing it to see the light of day (is this what Jesus meant by giving people the sign of Jonah?)... Given that you do feel the need to digest, it is good of you to post these reminders every once in a while. Thanks

Comment Guidelines:

1. Thanks for posting a comment. Without you, this blog would not be interactive.

2. Please be polite. That doesn't mean you have to use kid gloves, but please try not to flame others, even if they are heretics, infidels, or worse.

3. If you insult me, I'm more likely to delete your comment than if you butter me up. After all, I'm human. I prefer praise to insults. If you prefer insults, there's something wrong with you.

4. Please be concise. The comment box is not your blog. Your blog is your blog. If you have a really long comment, post it on your blog and post a short summary of it here.

5. Please don't just spam. It's one thing to be concise, it's another thing to simply use the comment box to advertise.

6. Please note, by commenting here, you are relinquishing your (C) in your comments to me.

7. Remember that you will give an account on judgment day for your words, including those typed in comment boxes. Try to write so you will not be ashamed if it is read back before the entire world.

8. Stay on topic. If your comment has nothing to do with the post, email it to me (my email can be obtained through my blogger profile), or simply don't post it.

9. Don't post as "Anonymous." If you are going to post anonymously, at least use some kind of recognizable "handle," so we can tell you apart from all the other anonymous folks. (This is moot at the moment, since recent abuse has forced me to turn off "anonymous" commenting.)

10. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; and abstain from doing to others what you would not wish upon yourself.
