Comment Policy

Person holding smart phone commenting online to go with comment policy page

To start, while this is my personal blog, I welcome and encourage you to share your thoughts as well. I do not know everything, and you may have insights that I lack or may have noticed something I overlooked. We grow through discussing and exchanging ideas and therefore I encourage you to share your thoughts. I hope to see that the comment section is active with lively, healthy and spirited discussions. However, commenting on this site comes with rules. Here is the comment policy of The Uncovered Lamp

Why a Comment Policy?

Why a comment policy? Doesn’t the free exchange of ideas work better without limitations? Well, I’ve sometimes found myself being less thoughtful online than in person. A keyboard can sometimes embolden us to say things we wouldn’t face-to-face. This reality underscored the need for some boundaries, leading to this comment policy—and it’s also the rationale behind rule #2. Naturally, this applies to me as well. Please hold me accountable. If you see me breaking my own rules, flag my comments.
