Comment Publishing Standards

Just a reminder to all that we will not publish, or will remove, comments that are ad hominem, use vulgar language or, in our opinion, are either redundant or surly (or both). I will also remove posts that are just trying to get under my skin. Serious and dignified disagreement is welcome.

Those of you who continue to send in anonymous comments can get published if you use one of the several options given to you before you post. You can sign your post, or mark one of the two options that identify you.

I appreciate the fact that you all take the time to respond. While I may not like what you say, I want to be able to post it. I will try, though, to raise the bar on decency. Thanks.

Tom

My bad.

I sent an anonymous note the other day in response to Tom's note on the EPC presbytery. I wondered why it wasn't posted. Now I see an explanation. The reason I sent it anonymously is that things aren't overly friendly in these parts and would rather not give anyone in the presbytery here a reason to start anything.

If it is still possible to post that comment I sent in the other day I would appreciate it. I will now see if I can send this note using the standards you have set, which are fine and dandy.

Or just sign me off as Deacon Matt

Would that I could, Jim, but alas I live elsewhere and have a real job (some would disagree!).

For anyone in the OKC area, we have the George Whitefield Society which presents lecture series during the year and the OKC conference on Reformed Theology annually in September-October.
