In the Siburt Institute, we encourage conversation and value diverse perspectives. We hope you will join the conversation by commenting on the content we publish. As you choose your words and tone, please follow these guidelines.


GUIDELINES

  1. Be kind. Whether agreeing or disagreeing with the content or a person’s perspective, please treat one another with dignity, kindness, and common decency.

  2. Refrain from using slurs, profanity, or other offensive language. Refrain from verbally attacking or threatening any person.

  3. Ensure your comments pertain to the subject matter.

  4. In general, do not use this platform to ask for money or to promote your business or product.
