Non-Duality Blogging Community. Interactive Beneficial Contributions Make Our Community Stronger and Smarter! Policy

Yours & Ours!  This is your moment and fingerprint in existence you leave with others to benefit by.  No. 1 Blog Comment Rule is Simple: Be Kind & Be Beneficial.

We all want to be the kind of commenter that others would love to bring home to Thanksgiving dinner! Here’s what produces a positive blog community when commenting:

• Weigh in with smart, thoughtful, informed ideas that contribute further to the story.

• Give us useful, constructive criticism. Spot a typo or an error? Let us know and we will correct it.

• Demonstrate and share the intelligence, wisdom, and humor you possess.

• Don’t feed the trolls & trolls will be removed. Flag troll comments so those comments will be quickly removed.

Do Not:

• Promoting your own brand, product, or blog. Basis for removal.

• Impersonating authors or other commenters. We can’t believe we have to say this, but: Don’t do that. 

• Comments that make it clear you didn’t read the article.  If you see a comment that is off topic and nothing to directly do with the article, please flag. It will be removed.

• Comments that are completely out of left field. Sometimes discussions veer off a bit, but are still related to the original subject. That is fine. Hijacking the conversation to promote off-topic commentary is not.

• Threats — no matter how vague — against the author or other commenters. Things can get heated. Before you casually mention your foe’s home address, remember kindness and treating others as your most precious favorite friend or relative, or your favorite part of yourself.  

• Racism, sexism, homophobia, you get the drift. Call me inclusive & if marginalizing other human beings based on prejudice or bias, the comments and account will be removed/banned/deleted as this is toxic to the hearts and minds of just being a human being. 

• Trolling. Trolls are deleted.
