The Rules

  1. This blog contains my opinions. It also contains rude language, venting, ranting and occasionally poetry. You’ve been warned.
  2. If you’re going to submit a comment on my blog, read this section first.
  3. If you’re going to submit a comment on my blog, read the article you’re commenting on first.
  4. In fact, read it twice before trying to submit your comment.
  5. All comments are moderated by me and automatic comment approval is off. All incoming comment submissions must be manually approved, so if your comment doesn’t come up immediately, that’s why.  I try and review all comment submissions within forty-eight hours.
  6. Comments with typically alt-right terms of abuse like “cuck” “faggot” and “libtard” are automatically filtered straight into the trash, as are emails from one-shot and disposable email addresses.
  7. If your comment is not approved for publication on my blog, it’s not approved.  Move on with your life, because I won’t be explaining myself or my decision, and I don’t generally listen to appeals.
  8. I also reserve the right to quote, analyze, censor, delete and/or mock any commentary on this blog. Opinions which differ from mine have a much better chance of being approved if they’re framed in intelligent, respectful language.
  9. Piss me off and I’ll ban you.
  10. I respond rather poorly to insults, attempts at censorship and threats in general so if that’s all you’ve got to contribute, don’t bother.


Rules for Reposting my Content

  1. This is my original content and work. It is my property, and I maintain all rights and ownership of my intellectual property.
  2. Feel free to link to my blog, but if you’re going to re-post more than, say, a paragraph or so, then you need to ask my permission. All re-posts must be credited to me, with a link to this blog.
  3. If you misquote me, misrepresent me, or take my words and use them out of context to justify a position I don’t support, or rip me off and try to pass off my uncredited work as your own, I will go medieval on your ass.
  4. If you’re making money off my original content, then you’ll need my written permission and I’ll want a piece of the action. Make money off me without my permission and I’ll skip the mister-nice-guy routine in #3 and go straight for the lawyers.
