Comment Policy

If you visit my blog, please do leave a comment - I would love to hear from you!

I have comment moderation switched on, so it may take a day or two for your comment to appear - please be patient! I very rarely reject comments - I only use moderation because I don't like word verifications, as they are difficult for people with disabilities to use - and some sort of protection seems like a good thing.

I will, however, reject some comments, mainly because this is a lighthearted gardening blog, and I'm not well enough to get into arguments. I will reject comments which ...

* are spam or which seem to have no purpose other than to advertise something, or which link back to advertising sites;

* are offensive or derogatory (racist, sexist, etc) or blasphemous, or link back to sites which are any of these;

* give out personal information about me such as my real name (this is likely to be accidental so I'll try to get in touch with you to ask you to re-submit your comment without it);

* are aggressively promoting something of which I disapprove (eg the agrochemical industry, or GM foods) or link back to a site promoting something of this nature;

* are at odds with the World Health Organisation's categorisation of M.E. as a neurological disorder, are promoting controversial treatments for M.E., suggest that there's a cure for M.E., or suggest that I or other people with M.E. are really suffering from some other condition, or link back to a site which does any of these;

* are written in a language which I don't speak or link back to a site which is mainly or entirely written in a language I don't speak - sorry, but I won't be able to tell whether or not these comments fall into any of the above groups.
