Comments are welcome and here is my comments policy. I took and tweaked Michael Hyatt’s comment policy as it respects the values I fully agree.
By posting on my blog, you agree to the following:
- You may comment without registering. You can log-in or not at all. It’s up to you. Anonimous posts are allowed but not recommended. I may change the rules if abused.
- I encourage open discussions so you may post follow-up questions. Comments on the blog are preferred compared to email as this let’s others to get the information too.
- Everyone is different and we are not always on the same page. You may disagree with me and this is welcomed. However, I ask that if you disagree with me—or anyone else, for that matter—do it in a respectful way.
- I reserve the right to delete your comments. This is my blog. I don’t have an obligation to publish your comments. If you’re a U.S. citizen, The First Amendment gives you the right to express your opinions on your blog not mine. Specifically, I will delete your comments if you post something that is, in my sole opinion, (a) snarky; (b) off-topic; (c) libelous, defamatory, abusive, harassing, threatening, profane, pornographic, offensive, false, misleading, or which otherwise violates or encourages others to violate my sense of decorum and civility or any law, including intellectual property laws; or (d) “spam,” i.e., an attempt to advertise, solicit, or otherwise promote goods and services. You may, however, post a link to your site or your most recent blog post.
- You retain ownership of your comments. I do not own them and I expressly disclaim any and all liability that may result from them.
- By commenting on my site, you agree that you retain all ownership rights in what you post here and that you will relieve me from any and all liability that may result from those postings.
- You grant me a license to post your comments. This license is worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive, and royalty-free. You grant me the right to store, use, transmit, display, publish, reproduce, and distribute your comments in any format, including but not limited to a blog, in a book, a video, or presentation.
In short, my goal is to host interesting conversations with caring, honest, and respectful people. I believe this simple comments policy will facilitate this.
