Comments Policy

We enjoy interacting with you, gladly welcome your comments, and from time to time, will even request them. To ensure that comments enhance rather than detract from the blog, we’ve created a formal comment policy.

In order to maintain the integrity of the blog and its content, all comments, trackbacks, and pingbacks made to Bridge to Biltmore are moderated. We work to review and approve comments quickly, but please forgive us if your comment does not appear right away.

Anyone is free to disagree with us, or with other commenters, as long as it is done politely. Comments that take a belligerent approach are at risk of being deleted.  Please avoid harsh language and the use of profanity. Flaming or threatening language will not be posted.  Nor will we post anything we deem to be a personal attack.

Please approach this blog with the civility you would bring to any peaceful public forum. Don’t post anything here that you wouldn’t say face-to-face to an affable fellow citizen in public.

We will not post comments that seem to only or predominantly serve the purpose of self- or business-promotion.

We reserve the right to edit comments prior to posting.  Blatant spelling and grammatical errors may be edited, and significant edits will be notated at the end of the comment.  At no time will we attempt to alter the core meaning of a comment.  To minimize editing, please write carefully and concisely.

By posting your comments to Bridge to Biltmore you are granting us the right, in perpetuity, to use, alter, and/or display them as we see fit.  Once your comment is submitted, remember, your words are immortalized.

E-mail Addresses

Please use a valid e-mail address when commenting. It will not be displayed unless you type it in the body of your comment (which will usually be edited out). You will not be subscribed to any mailing list by leaving a comment, nor will your e-mail address ever be sold to a third party.

If you use an invalid e-mail address or one that requires any type of human interaction to confirm we’re not spammers, your comment may be deleted.

Special Provisions for Comment Spam

We take comment spam seriously and all IP addresses used for spamming will be reported to the internet blacklists, the ISPs/hosts for the offending domain will be notified, and the owner of the IP block will be notified of the problem.  While comment spam continues to proliferate, we will do our part to help combat it.
