On this site, comments are welcomed and encouraged, but let’s be real—there are going to be some who want to take advantage of a community’s goodwill and be jerks. They fall into all classes and across all spectrums.
Therefore, we end up with things like blog comment policies. Ugh.
So, let’s get started. Some comments will be edited or deleted as follows:
1. If your comment is deemed spammy or solely promotional, it will be ruthlessly deleted. Feel free to include a link to something relevant, but it should be related to the posted topic.
2. Profanity in reasonable doses will be tolerated. If you get so worked up about debt, real estate, or writing that you need to drop the occasional F-bomb, I get it. It’s hard to act all Victorian about finances when so many book titles now include fuck in their title. However, if you fill a post with “fuck the fucking fuckers,” well, it’s going to get deleted. And if you’re offended that I said fuck while defining profanity, please understand that I’m a child of the eighties, and the Parents Resource Music Center tried to take away our right to hear music with that word in it. I treasure it now.
3. Comments containing language or concepts that could be deemed offensive will be deleted. That means racist, abusive, threatening, pornographic, misleading, or libelous language. Seriously, expand your mind by reading a book without pictures.
4. Comments that attack an individual directly will be deleted. Duh.
5. Comments that harass other posters will be deleted. Another duh. I could ask everyone to be respectful, but someone acting tough behind their keyboard isn’t going to do so. This is a moment of getting even with their existence. God made them ugly, Karma took away their friends, and the Universe gave them bad breath. So, let’s simply delete their post and ignore them.
6. Anonymous comments will be deleted. If you’re too afraid to stand behind your point-of-view, then no post for you.
7. Mom, you are not allowed to post comments. I’m going to assume you love them all. If you don’t, I’m still going to pretend you do.
The Bumbling Millionaire reserves the right to edit or delete any comments submitted to the blog without notice. This comment policy is subject to change at any time.
If you have any questions about the commenting policy, please email me. The link is below.
And if any of the above hurt your feelings, then what you’re doing was probably hurting others. So, stop it now.
