Me – Diary Philosophy

As it stands, I find it rare that anyone really complains about the subject matter that I decide to write about. It’s a courtesy I extend to others, despite what I might think personally. That is what, I believe, Open Diary is about. That we should feel free to write without someone telling us what we decide to write about is stupid or boring. If it’s boring, you should have the good sense to read something else.

I’m open to constructive criticism of course. Ideas. Topics to write about. Often I take the ideas my readers give me and run with them. Or at least try to. Some notes, not meant to inspire me, do so. Which is one reason I encourage commentary, even discussion between noters if they are so inclined.

One thing I don’t like is being told off for what I write. Dissenting views are fine, but outright insult is, to say the least, uncalled for. I have yet to block anyone, but if someone makes enough of a pest out of themselves, I will. Without warning and without further follow up. But it usually takes quite a bit to get to that point.

I believe in openness. I believe in Open Diary. Lets all play nice now.
