Someone's telling me that I censor because I hide some comments.  They'd claim that I censor anything I don't like.  I want to go on record and state that, while I don't usually hide comments, and you can pretty much say whatever you want, I will not allow anyone being an BLEEP hole on my page.  Act like a jerk, you get your comment hid, it's simple as that.

These are the ways you get into jerk territory with me.

1:  Linking to Pornagraphy.  That's mostly for the Encyclopedia Dramatica.  I will call the admins on the offending jerk who links to my account there, on the principle that it contains porn.  (It has frontal nudity before the fold, it's porn.  Simple as that.)

2:  Trolling.  This doesn't mean that you can't tell me that I suck, you're not the first.  It doesn't tell me how exasperated you are over what I put up here, dittos.  You can nitpick over every single detail and say that this deviation is piss poor, although some push it by not letting me correct some errors before mocking my bad spelling.  (Do I mock other's spelling?  I do not.)  But if you go all caps, talk like you're twelve, and put too many explanation marks with '1's and 'eleven's in the mix, expect your comment to be hid.

3:  Dog Piling.  This is how this topic got mentioned.  There was one of the constant critics telling me how stupid writing "So not the Draema" is because it will draw the ED trolls.  Another constant critics added his two bits in after the first comment.  I had to throw the flag on that.  I will not allow a couple people to barge in and rag on me over anything.  If that comment was made on it's own part and not put as a response to someone else, I wouldn't have done this.

I would not allow a small group of people inside my house trying to force me into anything or to berate me en masse.  It's the same principle.

And finally, last, but not at all least.

4:  Invoking Politics.  Do NOT bring the Shrub into my site.  Go to the Daily Kos where that belongs!

Now like I said, I won't mind people critiquing my works, especially if your feedback will help me improve these works.  But I ignore people who just criticize just for criticizing, saying about how much I suck and telling me I'm on my own if I want to not suck, and those who say that they want me to get better but shudder at the thought of helping me.  And if you flat out act like a jerk doing it, then I have to say, people, the DA admins in their infinite collective wisdom gave me that 'Hide Comment' function for a reason.

Remember folks, dA might own the server this page is on, but the content in this site, both in graphics and text, is as much _my_ property as my apartment.  If you wouldn't say or do such a thing in my living room, don't say or do it here.

For what's it worth, I've blocked GattinoAlaBlu from this site because she is bringing this argument into hyperbolics by not only her comments as of late, but also by her latest projects that threaten to produce a flame war inside deviantART which could threaten my account here. (I've seen how flame wars can go south very bad very quickly and I do not want that. That's right. I'm using the meme here, it fits so well.) So I'm staying in my page and she stays in hers until cooler heads prevail.

I am NOT losing my dA account over this.
