Comment Policy

Comments, comments, comments. We love them and encourage them! Comments are what allow us to connect, converse and grow together as a community of like-minded people. That said, sometimes things can get out of hand so it’s important to have guidelines and rules.

Community Guidelines

We all have our own opinions and beliefs. But keep it respectful. Any and all comments that are abusive, disrespectful, distasteful or offensive in nature will be deleted immediately.

Please use your REAL, FIRST name and email address when you comment. Business name(s) are considered promotional in nature and any comments contributed by them will be deleted.

Do not link your business name or blog anywhere in the comment section unless it directly relates to the comment or conversation taking place. Otherwise, it will be considered self-promotional and marked as spam.

If you have a question about a post, it’s common courtesy to review the comments first to see if your question has already been answered. If it has not, feel free to ask away!
