Don’t piss off Ozy. If you piss off Ozy, zie will ban you with great enjoyment and possibly mock your comments on Twitter.
This is my living room. Everyone who comments here is an invited guest. Like any party, sometimes the discussion might get a little heated and that’s cool, and not all the guests have to agree with the host about everything. But the host reserves the right to kick out guests who are assholes, insist on screaming about their genitalia, or puke on the carpet. Don’t puke on the carpet.
A brief list of things that qualify as puking on the carpet:
- Sexism, racism, classism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or fatphobia.
- Severe dumbassery. There are many places that want to hear your theory about how black men evolved to have bigger dicks. This is not one of them.
- Call out culture. It’s toxic! It lowers the discourse of social justice communities! Don’t do it!
- Being a dickhead to other commenters. This includes personal insults, threats, harassment, all that sort of thing.
- Ozy recognizing you as a Known Asshole ™ from zir adventures in other places around the Internet.
- Starting a discussion that Ozy has had ten million times and is bored of now. This includes but is not limited to whether sexism is feminism’s fault and ANYTHING about Nice Guys ™.
- Refusing to respect the blogger’s pronouns.
If someone pukes on the carpet, please do not respond to them. I can’t delete the comment if people respond to the comment, because then no one will understand what your comment was responding to. PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE ASSHOLES. THANK YOU.
Tiny nit-pick: I think you may have meant to say “the host reserves the right to kick out guests who are assholes” in that second paragraph there. Sometimes our typing fingers seem to have minds of their own!
