COMMENT POLICY
Two words: Be nice. People already spend too much time tearing each other down and competing with one another. We’re on the same team! And while we welcome ideas from readers with varying opinions and backgrounds, we simply ask that those ideas be expressed with respect for one another and a little (or, if the situation warrants, BIG) drop of grace.
Our desire is that this site and our corresponding social media channels be places where people come to be encouraged and lifted up. It is our firm belief that every human is valuable and worthy of love and respect and as such, we will not allow comments that include:
- any type of hate speech
- racism
- obscenities
- threats to us or other visitors
- violation of anyone’s copyright, trademark, etc.
Comments deemed to be spam or solely promotional in nature will be deleted. Including a link to relevant content is permitted, but comments should be relevant to the post topic.
Our editorial team reserves the right to edit or delete comments as we see fit, without explanation.
