<strong>Your responsibility as a reader and a commenter.</strong>
<ul>
	<li>If you come looking for something in the writing and the author didn’t say it, it doesn’t mean the author hasn’t said it.  It means that the author hasn’t said it in that post.  Each author's posts are conversations of thought intended to grapple with its meaning, not answer every question.  Look deeper that simply your first conclusion about something.</li>
	<li>Take responsibility for your words as your comment.  Think before you write them and consider how they sound, not just what you are saying. Be gracious in your questions and comments.  We all have feelings.  Nobody hears what you say if you first make them feel like awful.</li>
	<li>If what the author write makes you mad, FIRST ask why it makes you mad.  Chances are its not only what he/she said but that the author has come to a conclusion that is different than yours.  This often creates tension that is hard to deal with.  This is a place for each author to wrestle with different questions and conclusions.  But don’t get mad at the author for coming to this space.</li>
	<li>If you don’t understand, ask clarifying questions that help you understand what each author is saying.</li>
