Be a good guest!

Some readers may be a bit surprised that all the comments for my recent post, Harvest- a Riddle wrapped up in an Enigma? were favorable. The truth is there were two unfavorable comments which I'd treated as spams. One of these comments was rude and the other comment was a sarcastic comment from the usual "pest".

A personal blog is like a person's home. When you go to someone's home, you follow simple etiquette, such as speaking in a nice tone to the host or other guests. You can disagree with my post but you should not be disagreeable. Like the aforementioned article, I have accorded due respect to Coypond.

One of the websites that I follow, Pragmatic Capitalism has this rule, which I like:
Readers who denigrate authors or other readers will be banned without warning. This site does not tolerate any sort of reader abuse. The goal of this site is to create an environment that is conducive to learning and better understanding of the monetary system and the investment world. We expect readers to behave maturely and responsibly. We welcome and encourage intense and intelligent discourse, but the site adheres to a strict 1 strike policy. While it is your right to speak freely, it is not your right to behave childishly. Above all else, please enjoy the site. It is intended to be used as an educational tool and we hope the intelligent and mature debate will further that purpose. We hope readers will make an effort to respect that goal. Comments with excessive linking or foul language will be moderated before posting.

Please abide by this rule or you will find that your comment would treated as spam.
