A Short Statement of Purpose & Comments Policy

This blog is a place for me to put out, for public consumption, my thoughts on various issues related to three areas of interest to me: technology, law, and business.  That’s basically it.  I did say it would be a short statement of purpose after all.  The next post will start the blog for real.

I believe in the right to free speech contained in the First Amendment, but I also believe that the First Amendment right to free speech does not include the right to be heard.  Accordingly, the comments section of my blog will not be a free-for-all for all the angry people on the Internet, looking to simply cause problems.  I will try to be fair in my moderation, meaning that I will not delete comments just because I disagree with a person’s view.  That being said, I will not tolerate comments that in any way promote or sympathize with racism, sexism, threatening language toward anyone, sexual innuendo, homophobia, or any other such behavior.  Basically, treat others with respect and disagree with others with grace.
