Appropriate Comments

It's a shame that I even need to post on this subject, but since a few individuals seem to have no censor in their brains telling them what is and is not appropriate, I am going to take the time to do so.

First of all, I welcome constructive comments, comments with honest questions, supportive comments, and comments that build on something I have written. Comments are welcome here!

To play it safe, I have things set up so that I can moderate all comments. This means that any distasteful, argumentative, negative, obscene, or completely mystifying comments can and will be deleted for the benefit of all. So, when people send me comments that fall into the previously-mentioned categories, they are wasting their time. Those comments are deleted, and are seen only by me. I repeat, NO ONE ELSE ever reads those comments. No one is offended, no arguments are started, no faith is shattered. I read them once (not even all the way through if they are obscene), roll my eyes, possibly reflect on the low intellect of the sender (it's funner how the people who send the most obscene comments are always such lousy spellers - and don't even get me started on their grammar!), and then gleefully delete them.

When I receive comments advertising another religion, such as Islam, I also delete them, and they are never seen. This is not the place for that. I do not post about Christianity on your blogs (to whomever decided to post those comments); please show me the same respect. Also, please consider investing in an English class if you wish to continue your chosen blog-invasion "ministry." Your writing was so poor that I could make little sense of it and was left with the conclusion that you are not a native speaker, and have not had the benefit of a decent teacher.

With my lecture now completed, I would like to also say "God bless" to everyone else, and I hope this blog is able to encourage you in some way.
