Comment Code of Conduct

* I will express myself with civility, courtesy, and respect, especially toward those with whom I disagree - even if I feel disrespected by them (Rom 12:17-21).

* I will express my disagreements with others without insulting, mocking, or slandering them personally (Mat 5:22).

* I will not exaggerate others' beliefs nor make unfounded prejudicial assumptions based on labels, categories, or stereotypes. I will always extend the benefit of the doubt (Eph 4:29).

* I will participate in community accountability by attending more to how ideas are expressed rather than to what ideas are expressed and I will flag posts that violate these rules of conduct (Pro 12:18).
