House Rules

The Buttered Side is my personal blog. It is not a forum for debate, mudslinging, or name calling – especially not if I am the subject of such attacks. Think of yourself as a visitor in my house where engaging in lighthearted discussion and sharing stories is part of the invitation. But if you come into my house and decide that something as trivial as the color of my couch offends you to the point of verbally attacking me, well then… I’d be a fool to invite you back.

Believe it or not, I am quite sensitive. However this does not mean that I expect all readers to adore me. On the other hand, please recognize that the content of this blog is not what the majority consider to be highly debatable material. If you find that you must criticize, think before you click and ask yourself if it is kind, constructive criticism that you don’t mind signing your name to in public… and that you would feel comfortable saying to someone as a visitor in their home. I'm all for bantor...just not bashing.

This site is rated PG-13... as a mom, I can’t avoid the discussion of various body parts and in some cases swear. If your comments don’t fall within a PG-13 rating, they will be promptly edited or removed.

Here’s the bottom line:

* Links are okay only if they add something to the discussion or are relevant to the post. Simply linking to your own site is a little sneaky… frowny face for that one.

* Personal attacks on the author or other commentators will result in an immediate ban. Also, I am not a referee. If you have a bone to pick with a specific commentator, please do not air it out on my site. We’ve got reality TV for that juicy stuff.

* This has the potential to be fun for everyone. While I know party poopers are par for the course, lets see if we can keep this site poop free. This leads me to my last point…

* The Buttered Side reserves the right to edit or remove any post, for any reason.



Okay? I think we are off to a good start.
