Privacy:
No personal information will be given to any third party, for any reason, at any time. The site Admin (me) is the only one permitted, or able, to view ANY personal information, which will be used for contact or moderation purposes ONLY.
In addition, I collect general statistical and demographic information, including times of access, browser types, Internet addresses of referring pages, and pages visited most often. When you visit razorskiss.net I also recognize your domain name (e.g. aol.com or interport.net).
I collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, and to monitor the level of activity on my site. I collect information from visitors to my site regarding the referring URL, your IP address, which browser you used to come to the site, the country, state, the pages of my site that you viewed during your visit and any search terms entered on my site.
Trackbacks:
If they do not relate to the subject at hand, and/or seem only to be an attempt to get traffic – they will be deleted. Warnings may be given, but are not required.

No profanity. Period.
Feel free to disagree: However, any comments which are overly harsh, overly hostile, or overly personal (attacks), I reserve the right to either edit, or delete. This IS private property, and technically, all comments, posts, and anything else on this domain, or any other I own, belong to me. Thus, I reserve the right to do with them as I will.
Do NOT, under any circumstances, link to a site with offensive content. (Opposing viewpoints are not offensive, but they should be viewpoints – and expressed as such. ie: Pornography does NOT count as an “opposing viewpoint”.)
Do NOT, under any circumstances, include profanity or vulgarity within the name you use to comment, within the site name you link to, or within the email address you list. Violators will be given one warning, at the email address they entered. If it is invalid, you invalidated your warning.
Ground Rules:
Requirements:
You MUST enter a valid email address. I spot check them occasionally – if it is invalid, your comment will cease to exist.
You MUST enter a valid webpage address. If you do not have a webpage, leave it blank.
Politics:
I do not want to see politics discussed within any topic I don’t have listed within the “Politics” post category. I am not here to talk politics, and you aren’t either – or your comment will have any political commentary removed – unless I specifically say the subject is politics.
The largest percentage of major blogs are politically oriented. Yes, I link to them – because I read them – but I don’t write about it often. If you’d like a political discussion, I suggest you visit one of the blogs listed to your right under “Politics”.
I hate to be a spoilsport, but that’s not what this blog is here for. This blog is here to discuss why you think the way you think, why you believe the way you believe, and why you hold the values you hold. If you’d like a discussion about one of the things above – feel free to comment. Otherwise… don’t.
Discussion:
If you disagree, do so in a manner which encourages, and promotes discussion. Stating your opinion has no bearing on discussion. This is usually easily discerned by the words you use anyway. Tell us why you hold a certain opinion/belief, and the basis you rest those opinions/beliefs on.
Some Basic Assumptions:
Jesus is the second member of the Trinity – the Creator God of the universe, and Savior of all of mankind who choose to accept Him. Any contrary definition must be defined, please (unless you plainly state you have an alternate religious belief, and adhere to the doctrines of that belief).
The Bible is the infallible, inerrant Word of God. Specific claims to the contrary will have to be provided before I do anything other than refer you to this statement first.
“Judge not lest ye be judged” will be your verse of last resort. It is, perhaps, the most quoted verse there is today. Unfortunately… the vast majority of the time, it is quoted out of context. If I see it before I see you cite any other verses, you will be referred to this statement. As Inigo Montoya said: “You keep using that word… I don’t think it means what you think it means.” (See here for further reference of what judgement means.)
Homosexuality is a sin like any other. Abortion is murder of children. Sex outside of marriage is a sin, like any other. Definitions to the contrary must be precise, and professing Christians must support their definition from the Bible.
More may be added later, to any of the preceding sections.
