Your comments are very welcome and valued. It is great to hear your thoughts and ideas. This website facilitates connecting and interacting with a wider audience for a reason. My belief is that connectivity and interaction have a generative effect; it further develops thinking and ideas, and creates more and better opportunities.

Just to ensure we are on the same page, and to keep this website aligned with its positive intentions, some ground rules regarding comments below.

• Mirjam Goudsmit and any administrators and contributors to mirjamgoudsmit.com have the right to edit, delete, and block any and all inappropriate or unnecessary comments on this website, as they see fit.

In the interest of fair play, no personal attacks are permitted in this website’s comments. You may question or argue the content, but not attack the writer, nor any other commenters. Failure to respect fellow participants on this website could result in removal and blocked access.

That’s it. Just so expectations are clear if needed. And to keep things useful and peaceful, which I expect anyway but there you have it.

Note: this policy is inspired by, and an adaptation of, information in the Blog Herald (specifically this post) by Lorelle VanFossen, with many thanks.
