walkitoutJust a little friendly reminder about how Walkitout Does Things.
My blog is not a Free Speech Zone. And no one has a right to post anything in my blog (conceivably, I do, but I think it is actually more of a Terms of Service agreement thing with the lovely people who run Dreamwidth). This blog primarily exists as a one way form of communication about what is going on in my life for people who I unfortunately do not currently get to see in real life very often. I’m perfectly happy sharing it with a wider world, and if someone overhears something and chooses to join in, and I find them enjoyable, I’ve made new friends that way who I then went on to visit and get to know in real life.
But when you are commenting, please _think_ about the purpose of this blog. People I’ve known for a decade or more can easily get away with saying something brusquely oppositional to me, and I will respond to it as it is: a comment the context of which I have a lot of experience with. If you’ve never met me and you say something provocative, thinking that’s how this works, you have drastically misunderstood, and my history with things like this is I tend to verbally reprimand very briefly before I start deleting and blocking.
I find all kinds of political and conversational excitement to get into in person. I don’t want it online.
