Since this is a business blog, it seems to make sense to have a comment policy. I certainly don't want to stifle great conversation, but I do need to set some boundaries that I might not set elsewhere. I hope you understand my motivation for doing this, but if not, it's still the policy.<\/p>\n
First, you have to use a real name. You can come up with a nickname if you'd like, but that's what you'll be known by. If it's a keyword name, I will delete it, unless you use a regular name first.<\/p>\n
Second, if you don't add a URL link to your post in the proper area, and I don't know who you are, I will send you an email to confirm that you're a real person. Strange as it might seem, spam bots can post with real names but fake email addresses and without a URL link. If I don't get a response within 24 hours, I will remove the comment. This isn't only because of spam. It's also because there are people who don't care what you write about; they just want to be a disruptive force and move on. If someone wants to do a drive by slam and then removes themselves from being able to be contacted for whatever their reasons might be, I or my reasons don't have to deal with it.<\/p>\n
Third, there must be a certain amount of decorum here. No bad language, no personal attacks, and we must try to stay on point. We can disagree without being disagreeable.<\/p>\n
And fourth, unless you've left good comments previously, I'm probably deleting short, one line comments. This isn't the place to try to increase your backlinks. All I ask for is a little bit of contribution to the discussion.<\/p>\n
That's about it. I hope it doesn't get in the way of discourse; I guess we'll find out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
