Code of conduct

1. You are a warmly invited guest here.  Please treat the host and fellow guests with appropriate respect.
2. Straight talking is welcome and appreciated, whether in agreement or disagreement. Honesty and integrity are expected. Rudeness and vulgarity will not be tolerated. It is all well and good to communicate with the intention of being gracious and loving, but it is therefore necessary that the words and tone of your communication manifest grace and love: therefore let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt.
3. Please extend the courtesy of actually reading a post or comment in full and carefully before you comment. This will keep you from appearing stupid and others from becoming frustrated.
4. I may respond to comments. I may not. No promises. Often I will want to think before I respond. I may think long enough to (a) realise that I have nothing to say or (b) forget that I thought I had something to say.
5. Please keep comments on topic. The appearance of one of your buzz-words does not mean that you can hijack the post and its comments with extended and/or repetitive attacks on what you consider error and defences of what you consider truth. (So, for example, not every post that uses one of the words or phrases “law,” “grace,” “covenant,” “works,” and/or “antinomian” is a reason for an extended discussion of the pros and cons of New Covenant Theology).
6. Don’t feed the trolls.
