Blog Decorum
Free and open exchange may be inhibited if participants are subject to intimidation or threats. The best way to discourage the debasement of exchange is by presenting the blog's participants with a level of decorum, intellectualism, and collegiality that sets a tone and manner of discourse unsuited to incivility. It is, then, primarily the responsibility of the Administrator to demonstrate by his own words, here, the proper decorum: only then can he anticipate reciprocity from the participants.
A post will be deleted under the following circumstances:
- a threat of physical harm to a specific individual is conveyed or can be reasonably imputed from a comment;
- a statement to or about another commentator is made that derides, denigrates, or otherwise insults him or her in a racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, or anti-religious way.
- a blog commentator's true identity is disclosed in part or in whole without his or her permission;
- a comment contains code, a text string, script, or other feature that disrupts the appearance and/or functionality of the thread or the Website.
