Blog stuff
Certain behavior is expected of guests, both in my home and on my blog. When using the comments feature here at the RLA, only two things are required:
1) You must include your name and a valid email address. I post openly; I expect my guests to do the same. Just because this is a firearms blog does not mean that "snipers" are allowed!
2) You must not use derogatory or profane language, toward me or any of my other guests. There are many blogs and forums on the world wide web whose standards allow for such behavior, but this is not one of them.
That's it. Feel free to disagree with me all you want, as long as you can do so in a civilized manner.
Now, if you'll peruse the comments from yesterday's post (and many others), you'll see that I don't moderate opinions that disagree with mine. (Mr. Pilkington's taunting, I must admit, had me wavering in my commitment!) i like presenting a well-rounded picture when I can, as I feel it's in the best interests of my readers. Moderation around here consists of reading the comment, thinking "she's got a point" or "he's entitled to his opinion", pressing the "approve" button, and continuing on my merry way.
I was forced, however, to delete two comments from yesterday; one was an anonymous post which amounted to a "drive-by shooting", while the other could not make his point without profanity (and was nearly incomprehensible to boot.) I invite both of you to repost, mindful of the guidelines above.
(There was one other post which I didn't delete, but hasn't been released, either. It was a thoughtful comment from a distinguished guest, and we're currently in talks to present a much longer version as a separate blog article. I'm hoping that it will come to fruition, as his recollections and opinions are most interesting.)
