Common Courtesy…
Over the past few weeks, I have been reading all of the comments on the PACR blog, and I have a few things to say:
1. Please refrain from attacks that are directed toward any particular person. I understand that many of you have strong opinions about certain issues/individuals, but I will not allow this blog to turn into a negative free-for-all. You can properly express your opinions without the use of dergatory speech. A certain decorum is expected on this site, and comments that are considered to be especially distasteful will not be accepted.
2. Please make sure that the comments you are making are actually associated with the post you are commenting on. Questions that have nothing to do with the topic at hand will be removed, as they seem to do nothing but cause trouble and detract from the original purpose of the blog, which is to create discussion around the topic at hand.
3. Please remember that people are busy. If you post a comment and do not receive an immediate response, you are not being ignored; the author of the post is probably just making sure that their school work (which should be the top priority of any college student), is being completed.
All of that being said, remember this: We’re all adults… I shouldn’t even have to post something like this, but I feel it necessary. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact the PA Federation of College Republicans at pacollegerepublicans@gmail.com
Sincerely,
Jessica Thompson

oh and unless i’m right on how rule #2 should be applied, i think your last comment is off topic.
Perhaps, but this is her post, and so presumabley any topic changes coming from her cannot be off topic, by definition. The author sets the topic. We just get to comment on it.

Noz,
I feel like I am beating my head off my desk with you. As I have previously stated, “Just follow the logical flow of the discussion and don’t make constant attacks about individuals in the thread of an article that they have not written.” I don’t think that is too much to ask. And as I also previously stated, “My belief is that you are certainly following the rules if you are trying to make some point that directly relates to the topic under which you are commenting.” Therefore, as long as you are following the general flow of discussion, you are fine. Also, my last comment is not off-topic, as it references the original post.
Let’s do this… If you get off-topic, I’ll let you know…
