Comment Policy

Comments and positive discussions are welcome on Fulcrum7.  Use your Disqus account to comment on Articles and News items. 

Guidelines:

While we allow nicknames, we prefer full names to ensure that our commenters are commenting in good faith and that they’re invested in intelligent conversation.  Fulcrum7's comment section is home to thoughtful, passionate and sometimes critical responses from our readers.  Once you’ve decided to join our commenting community, there are a few ground rules we ask you to follow.  Here are a few things that we don’t allow:

  1. Unwarranted personal attacks.

  2. Spam.

  3. Monomaniacal posting and excessive whining. Turning every topic into your pet issue not only gets old, it tends to stifle discussion.

  4. Factually incorrect information.

  5. Constant SHOUTING AT PEOPLE WITH CAPS IS NOT ENCOURAGED. That can cause hearing loss and we need our ears to hear the Lord’s voice (Mark 4:23; Revelation 2:29; Matthew 11:15).

  6. Occasionally some posters get the idea they own the comment section on Fulcrum7 and they try to dominate the discussion. There have been a few of these over the years and they are now ‘vacationing’ on the sidelines. Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go. Remember, the ability to post on F7 is a privilege, not a right. Treat others the way you want to be treated.

  7. Insults directed at our writers or other commenters will be deleted. This forum is not a place for private agendas, personal vendettas, and dumpster fires for the generationally bitter.

  8. This forum is not a place for circular firing squads against our own committed people. Don’t do that. Everybody dies in a circular firing squad, and we want you to live a joyful Christian life that is faithful to the Advent Message.

  9. Long ‘sermons’ disguised as dialogue.

  10. Trolling: We hope to attract comments that are intellectually stimulating and interesting to read. If you don’t have anything substantive to add to the conversation, your comment is subject to moderation. Commenters who obviously intend to just pick fights, be nasty, naysay, get attention or get a reaction will have their posts deleted, and ultimately lose their commenting account—if they persist.

  11. Filthy language (corrupt communication - Ephesians 4:29). Inappropriate sexual comments and innuendo will be removed, along with the one who posted them.

  12. Repetitive virtue signalling will be disposed of in the Fulcrum7 digital comment shredder, and the fragments recycled into compression socks and plastic Keto bottles.

  13. If a commenter repeatedly violates our policy, he or she will receive a warning that they are in danger of being banned from the site. If the commenter continues to violate our policy, they will be banned. Email subscriptions are not affected by commenting status and banned commenters will continue to receive online updates for as long as they wish.

  14. Negative comments about other people's spouses, families, or girlfriends/boyfriends are off limits.

  15. Comments that misrepresent Fulcrum7 will be given a decent burial.

  16. Opinions from commenters do not necessarily reflect the opinion of Fulcrum7.

  17. Have fun!

  18. Fulcrum7 reserves the right to reveal the identity of anonymous posters who come on our site to troll or disrupt conversation.

Letters to the Editor:
