When you take a moment co comment please remember to use respect and act as if you were talking to me or to another person face to face. We highly encourage comments on our blog and website but only if you treat other people fairly and don’t belittle other people for their beliefs, ideas or opinions.
There is great power when people come together to share ideas about their experiences, and how they see the world. We’ve developed quite a great community here at SoCal Sports Report and take it very seriously.
So treat everybody with respect please or just don’t leave a comment. Remember what you sow, you reap. What you put out there comes back. Treat everybody as you would like to be treated.
Take a moment and ask a good question, disagree with me or another person but do it in a way that’s actually trying to help someone or the community as a whole.
Remember we are not our beliefs or opinions or even our ideas. Comment freely and openly but do not be tied to such beliefs. We are always changing and growing!
Comments that do not have anything to do with the article itself or another person’s ideas will not be approved. Do not include a link to your website or blog in the body of the comment itself. It will automatically get deleted.
Also if you do not use your real first name and last name in the name field it will get deleted. We are real people here and our listeners and readers are real people too. If you can’t put your real name, it’s not benefiting anybody.
