Putting down some ground rules for people who want to comment on my blog.

When I started this blog early last year I was very tiered and a little afraid of comments.
Being autistic means that it takes a lot of effort to communicate with people. Being tiered means that you can’t defend yourself against critics.
But I never received any critics. Apart from getting a lot of spam every one who commented seemed to like my blog.

But having received a number of comments I’m finding that there are some things I don’t like:

• If you want to write a book that’s fine with me. But don’t do it on my website. It’s very easy to write a lengthy boring piece of comment. If I think something is boring, I will cut it down or delete it.
• It is nice to give or receive some advice. But keep in mind that people won’t remember dozens of pointers. By all means advice on a technique or medium I could use but don’t go over board on everything I could ever do.
• I don’t like cursing. It’s not so much that I want to have a family friendly website but I don’t find it useful. In my experience if you have something interesting to say, people will read it. If you just want to shock. People won’t read it.

I do realize that most people won’t read this article before commenting. It’s just something to point to in case some one doesn’t understand my motivation for changing a comment.
