I said, or should ...Sorry if I wasn't clearer. I said, or should have said, that I don't want long passages copied from another blog into this one just like I wouldn't want someone copying large chunks of my work into another blog. Links are fine. No problem with those.<br /><br />I'd also prefer that commenters not post a comment that's nothing more than, warisboring said,"...". I don't care (in a sense) what warisboring says. I want to know what the commenter thinks. <br /><br />Also, some people have occasionally posted links with little or no explanation leaving me and other readers to try to figure out what the point/purpose is. I'd prefer that links be accompanied with the commenter's point/opinion to make clear what the purpose of the link is but the links, themselves, are fine.<br /><br />All that said, this is just my preferences. I don't have any hard rules about this. If someone wants to quote a sentence or two from another source, that's fine, within reason. I just don't want to get into the position of seeming to be "stealing" someone else's work.<br /><br />I hope that cleared things up for you. If not, ask me something more specific and I'll try again.ComNavOpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09669644332369727431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579907756656776056.post-44870675879517054272016-10-19T14:23:51.340-07:002016-10-19T14:23:51.340-07:00On regards to posting links to back-up opinions an...On regards to posting links to back-up opinions and data, there's a little confusion, at least for me.

I'm betting your students, whatever they're studying, are better judges of value than you. The site statistics indicate non-stop, linear growth so I must be doing something right and many new people are coming to the site.

However, I will leave this as an example of why your comments were deleted. You should be asking yourself, given the criteria I covered in this post, why your comments failed to meet standards. If they were polite, as you suggest, that pretty much only leaves stupid as the disqualifying reason. This comment is only solidifying that lack of self-awareness. You asked, so I've answered. Up your game or move to another blog better suited to you.<br /><br />This is the kind of unproductive comment I'm going to eliminate.<br /><br />Don't bother replying, I'll just delete it.ComNavOpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09669644332369727431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579907756656776056.post-17301997449870398342016-10-13T17:09:50.939-07:002016-10-13T17:09:50.939-07:00Quite honestly - I gave up on this blog a while ag...Quite honestly - I gave up on this blog a while ago.

I asked honest questions and they were met with belittlement rather than discussion. I asked for clarification and was met with condescension. I tried very much to be polite but this quickly becomes difficult when it feels like the moderator is trying to railroad the discussion down a very narrow path that serves his own bias. I would like to post here because you do raise interesting topics, but as it stands, it is impossible to know if a comment will be allowed to stand or simply get deleted without explanation. Now if a comment is blatantly profane or rude, then I would understand, but most of my comments were written in a neutral tone with no aggressive language. If you actually want discussion rather an a simple echo-chamber, then you need to allow dissenting comments to stand more often, and for longer periods of time. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
