DESDINOVA'S MISSION STATEMENT AND RULES FOR COMMENTS

My mission with this blog is to accurately disseminate and provide surfers on the Internet with text and visual information on 20th Century pop culture with the same fun, rebellious, irreverent style and humor that made the original "Desdinova - Super Villain of the Ozarks" blog so popular with readers.

The following are rules for comments to be posted on the blog. They are set up for my protection and the readers as well.

1. I welcome compliments or personal reminiscences, but personal attacks (on me or actors, musicians, artist or celebrities - past or present), persistent trolling and mindless abuse will not be tolerated. I don't like the whole "public discourse" thing. 
2. I will acknowledge criticism of the articles we publish, but will not allow persistent misrepresentation of Desdinova to be published on our website. Since I am an "anonymous blogger," I will not allow people to out me nor untrue statements.
3. I understand that people often feel strongly about issues featured on the site, but we will consider removing any content that others might find extremely offensive or threatening.  This is to educate and entertain. You are not allowed to preach, shake your finger at or grandstand. People come here to enjoy themselves not hear a sermon from you!
4. I will not tolerate racism, sexism, homophobia or other forms of hate-speech, or contributions that could be interpreted as such. I recognise the difference between finding humor, irony and absurdity in the way people and concepts were treated in the pop culture of the past and attacking people on the basis of their race, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability or age.
5. I will remove any content that may put me in legal jeopardy, such as potentially libelous or defamatory postings. This should be self explanatory.
6. I will remove any posts that are obviously commercial or otherwise spam-like. I actively discourage commercial entities passing themselves off as individuals, in order to post advertising material or links. If I want ads for male enhancement products on my blog, I will place them on there myself. This may also apply to people or organizations who frequently post propaganda or external links - like a certain troll on Missouri Radio Message Board.
7. Keep it relevant. This should be called the You Tube Stupidity Rule.  If you wonder what I'm talking about, refer back to number 1 and number 4. If you post something which is unrelated to the original topic ("off-topic") then it may be removed. I got tied of political stuff when I had the old blog, so I don't want to see it here.
8. No comments from grown men named Stormy. This should be self explanatory.

REMEMBER:
- If you act with maturity and consideration for other users, you should have no problems.
- Don't be unpleasant. Demonstrate and share the intelligence, wisdom and humor we know you possess.
- Take some responsibility for the quality of the conversations in which you're participating. Help make this an intelligent place for discussion and it will be.

MOST OF ALL: You can be a participant, BUT I AM THE STAR OF THIS BLOG! It is my soapbox, not yours.
