copyright & comment policy

Copyright

All original work copyright Rosina Lippi-Green. I gladly give written permission for excerpts and quotations properly attributed, but otherwise no part of this work may be duplicated or distributed in any way.

Neutrality

This is not a neutral site: I support and advocate language rights for everyone. However, I am sincerely interested in all contrasting views and would like to hear them. Civil discourse and mutual respect are the basic currency.

While this is my area of professional expertise, I will not intrude on discussions to correct anyone or  lecture anyone on the error of their ways. Factual claims which are not based in fact may and should be challenged, but personal opinion is not to be targeted. There will be no scolding, pointed fingers, shaking of heads. There will be disagreement, and most likely, a lot of it.

On Commenting

The subjects discussed here are often controversial, and can evoke strong emotions. Nevertheless, comments are open to anyone who would like to participate. I will not alter or censor comments, but I reserve the right to delete any comments that

• are abusive or slanderous;
• fall into the realm of hate speech;
• violate fair-use law;
• serve primarily as advertisement for a commercial product or venture;
• are duplicated elsewhere.

Repeated violations of these basic, common sense rules will result in banning.

I also reserve the right to use quotes or excerpts of comments in my own written work, including pieces for publication. All such quotations will be credited by means of a hyperlink.

Further, I reserve the same right to quote or excerpt from email sent to me in response to this weblog or its contents. Unless the author gives me explicit written permission to use a full name, such communications will be cited using the date and intitials of the author.
