Rules
Here are the rules for this journal: follow them or you can take your ball and go home.
- You no longer have to be registered and logged in to comment on this journal. It’s a decision I might regret (and change), but I feel like the hurdle of (free) registration is probably one most of my (two) readers don’t want to jump in order to comment. I would still love for you to register – nobody will be able to see your information (other than username) except me unless you want them to. I will never use anyone’s information for any purpose except to contact you about the journal, if necessary. I really hope this encourages commenting!
- I’m not going to censor your posts for language/adult content. Originally, I thought I wanted to stay away from foul language and topics not suitable for children, but I decided that this journal is more for me than for my students, and I can always make a kid-friendly journal later. HOWEVER, please use common sense when posting – don’t be overly crude to stir the pot. I don’t like trolls, and reserve the right to refuse a post if I think you’re being an asshole. I will contact you, however, before deleting it to give you a chance to explain yourself.
- Aggressive and/or hateful comments will not be tolerated.
Disagreeing is fine, and heated discussion is likely, but making others feel
attacked is grounds for being removed from this journal. Email me with
complaints. (That being said, being a whiny crybaby because somebody said something that disagrees with what you said is equally annoying. Don’t bitch to me unless you have good reason.)
I will never remove a comment because I do not agree with the opinion of its author, unless it violates the rules above. If you feel you have been unjustly accused, do email me and I will work it out with you. I reserve the right to remove anyone for any reason, but as the point of this journal is to receive feedback on my opinions, I would be doing myself a disservice by removing everyone with whom I disagree. Follow the rules, and everyone will be happy. I will be happy, anyway. And, really, that’s all that matters.
