Code of Conduct

​

General Guidelines for Members of Musings of the Big Meow

​

I want this place to be a safe space for people to share their thoughts and opinions on the various posts and topics that I put up here on this web site.

​

This is your community to be open, honest and transparent with your ideas and insights on each topic or post within a topic.

​

This is to be a place of civil and loving discourse, and you still retain your right to disagree with anyone (including me) at any time.

​

Rules of Respect

​

Therefore, I only ask members on this site to please do the following (especially when discussing Bible-focused topics and posts):

​

  • Be respectful of all users at all times, but do not be afraid to offend anyone (including me) with your thoughts on a topic or post.

    • Be open to challenging others' points of view, as well as having your own point of view challenged as well.

      • ​"You shall love your neighbor as yourself", as Jesus himself says it in Matthew 22:39-40.

​

  • Use common sense as you would with any other social media when it comes to writing your comments and discussion topics and posts with one another.​

    • I use a rule of thumb that sort of piggybacks off of Jesus':

      • "If you wouldn't say it to someone's face, don't say it to them online, either."​

    • Or simply put, just don't be outright mean, nasty or obscene for its own sake.​  We're all friends and family here.​​​

​

  • Hold each other accountable for their words, including my own.  I'm not perfect, I don't know everything, nor do I do everything right.  I need to be kept honest here as well.​

    • On that note, if you do need to correct someone whom you believe to be in the wrong on something, do it between the two of you, first.  See if you can resolve it peacefully and quietly amongst yourselves.​​

​

  • Open slander, obscenity, abuse, hostility, threats of harm, or retaliation of any kind will not be tolerated here at all.
