Commenting Policy

[ 16 April 2007 ]

After four months (to the DAY!), I have received my first negative comment. Well, not negative so much as a blatant personal attack. It reminded me that I needed to write up a comment policy! So thank you for your contribution, Felix!

As the vast majority of you are aware, iCiNG is a positive place. I do my very best to write in an uplifting, encouraging, fun manner. There are so many websites devoted to judging other people & general nastiness — it’s so boring & easy, & the idea of getting involved in that makes my skin crawl. I know that a lot of you feel the same way, which of course is part of the reason why what we have here works so well.

At the iCiNG brunch in Melbourne yesterday, Allan told me that he really enjoyed reading the comments here. I agree with him, they are always interesting & helpful, I absolutely love getting feedback & hearing about other people’s experiences! We have such a great community here, the responses from all of you definitely add to what I’ve written & are so insightful.

I’m a big girl, & I welcome constructive criticism & suggestions. I will not, however, tolerate abuse, rudeness or negativity, whether it is directed at me or other people. It has no place here, & in my experience, that stuff always says more about the person who wrote it than the person it was aimed at. ANYONE making nasty comments will be banned.

As my father always says, “We don’t give no shit, we don’t take no shit — we’re not in the shit business”. It applies here! (Thanks, JP.)

Stay lovely!
