About Comments
Go for it!
Hit the “comment” button and add wisdom or challenge foolishness. You can even say nice things about my post. You can add resources for people to check out on any topics.
You can not bash other people or ideas. Disagree, argue with passion, and state your position with vigor. But also assume the best from me and anyone who else who posts a comment.
The first time you comment you will need to be identified through your email. This prevents spam and anonymous (to me) posts. You can sign your name for others to see anyway you would like. But you are accountable for posts.
After the first comment post your comments will be posted right away. Your first post has to be screened by me before it is posted. You can post as many times as you want, even the first time. It is just that all the first time ones will be pending my okay. Hopefully it will not take me too long to do so. The more posts, the more often I will check. Heck, it will be flattering.
I do not think I need to have a series of rules about posting. Please assume the other side is doing their best and treat all with respect. O, how about one rule, the Golden Rule. A bit kitchy, but gold does not tarnish.
Oh yeah, you might want to check the “About Spelling ” tab as it relates to posts as well.
So, now go for it.
See it is easy. Just type in a name to be known by in the comment section (your real name works great). Put in your email address. Add a website if you have one and that seems important. Write your comment. Hit the Submit button below. Check your email to confirm it really is yours and you are not pretending to be someone. And then wait for Mark to screen your name/email combination.
After that, your comments will be posted right away.
And yes, you can receive notification of other comments on this ‘thread’ by hitting the RSS button or checking the ‘notify me by email button.
(I figured this was as good a place as any to post this– sorry if it’s in the wrong spot!)
Hi! I’m attending the New England Culinary Institute this upcoming July and I’m finding myself in need of a good church. I’m currently a United Methodist, mostly because my mom is an ordained Deacon in the UM church, but I’m interested in finding a church that doesn’t try to witch-hunt me and my “kind” for lack of a better term. See, I’m Bi; I found your church through gaychurch.org. I try not to make a big deal out of it, but find myself having to in a church setting. I just wanted to get that part of the conversation out of the way; now I will stealthfuly segue into my real reason for contacting you.
I’m moving to Montpelier VT in a short couple of months and I don’t know anyone. At all. What I really want is to know that someone; anyone knows me. I desperately need a support, and I’m asking for your help. Is there any way I could play Pen-Pal (or some such) with anyone- not necessarily the same person all the time, and not necessarily with any consistency; any help you are able to give is more than wonderful. Even if you could get me in contact with someone who knows what outreaches there are in Montpelier, or even if you or anyone you know knows of a good therapist, any help you provide would be more than appreciated.
Thank you so much (and feel free to email me)
