Remember, blogs are places to engage in thoughtful conversations. Be positive and encouraging! You do not necessarily have to agree with the person's point of view, but you should be considerate. This means no swearing, being rude or attacking the other person.
Some guidelines to help clarify the commenting process:
- Comments should be at least 2 to 5 sentences, not less.
- Write comments that add to the conversation. Ask a question. Provide a link that might clarify a point. Copy and paste a passage that interests you then write your comments and questions.
- Read the article. Read all the comments. Be part of the full discussion.
- Use comments to show what you think is important, interesting, controversial, thoughtful.
- Constructive criticism only. Critique the idea, not the person. Respect other people and their opinions and ideas.
- Use good grammar and spelling.
- Treat people the way you want to be treated.
Some examples of comment starters that you can use include:
- This made me think about...
- I wonder why...
- Your post made me form an opinion about...
- This post is relevant because...
- Your post made me think that we should...
- I wish I understood why...
- This is important because...
- Another thing to consider is...
- I can relate to this because...
- This makes me think of...
- I discovered...
- I don't understand...
- I was reminded that...
- I found myself wondering...
