Comments for posts will be conducted via Twitter so that no one needs to sign up to ‘yet another account’ or submit an email address or other personal details just to comment on a blog (it’ll be one less place any of your personal data will be collected and stored because your private data is precious to you) but comments are absolutely welcome and valued and many people already have Twitter accounts.
You can comment on any specific post by clicking on the Twitter button included at the bottom of each post, which will link to the official tweet that refers to that post, that you can then reply to and follow me and the conversation under ‘tweets and replies’. You could also ‘like’ a tweet to in effect like its corresponding post. I am new to Twitter and this system is experimental but I hope it’ll work. All comments shall be conducted in English only. By submitting any information via Twitter, you explicitly consent to the processing of this information for the purpose of commentary and response.
More furry than furious, more fluffy than flustered, more fuzzy than frustrated – Furrywisepuppy will promise to always keep his cool in controversial discussions (unless for light-hearted comedic effect – fur enough!) Furrywisepuppy welcomes alternative points of views from all over the world and corrections of facts if shared respectfully and with a collaborative intent (as in everyone trying to work towards answers together more than competing about who’s individually right or wrong); otherwise this puppy does have teeth if anyone does not adhere to these terms. Furrywisepuppy will protect himself, as well as protect anyone else who remains friendly and respectful amongst any discussions. It shall be a productive and considerate community environment.
Please criticise the arguments or ideas presented, not the persons who made them. The goal is that everyone works together in an honest, kind, respectful and constructive manner as fellow explorers of wisdom rather than as preachers – to learn from each other, wherever we come from and whatever our backgrounds. Spam, abuse, trolling, inappropriate tangents or the encouragement of unlawful or potentially harmful activities will be reported or removed from @furrywisepuppy. Repeat offenders or those who commit a severe misconduct (anything that would categorically not be acceptable if said face-to-face to another human being) will be muted or blocked.
This blog is written for you, my readers – without you this will all mean nothing! I will respond to all comments. But if (I’m just dreaming for now!) the day ever comes when the volume becomes too much then I will be mainly prioritising the monitoring of comments for the latest or most popular posts. If possible, I encourage the community of readers and commenters to please support and help each other out too, and to help flag any spam, abuse or trolling if they’ve been missed by me as a one-individual operation. I’ve never blogged before and this website is only new so it might take some time until I get into the groove of things. This blog will gradually evolve, grow and improve and I will always welcome any feedback or suggestions from my regular readers as to how.
Furrywisepuppy will assume no responsibility if anyone acts upon any advice presented within any blog post, tweet or other interaction without seeking further research and professional guidance. All comments made by other parties are the responsibilities of those other parties too. Therefore by submitting a comment, you accept that the content of the comment is your own and you hold Furrywisepuppy, all subsidiaries and representatives of Furrywisepuppy harmless from any and all liability, damages or repercussions.
Apart from legal or personal matters, I will only respond to the pseudonym of Furrywisepuppy or any associated characters regarding activities related to this blog and any related social media channels.
These policies may change if deemed necessary from time to time or as required by law. Any changes will be immediately posted on this page so please revisit this page often.
