Posting personal information in blogs

- blog manners, family finance -

Sorry guys, the company policy does not allow posting of personal information in INQUIRER.net blogs. This is for your protection . Although I would like to think we are a close-knit community here in MoneySmarts, I know for sure that there are fraudsters out there ready to pounce on loyal readers. So be careful!

If you want to contact anyone, shoot me an email at lightdream@gmail.com (*I’m* used to spam) and I will see how I can help.

Drop the name-calling

tree nymphs

These are White Tree Nymphs common to the Philippines (Photo taken from Agence France Presse). Look at them with their frail antennae holding up a twig that probably weighs much more than them.

We are all frail creatures hoping to elevate ourselves and our nation into a higher plane. We can only do that if we help each other out. We can’t do that if we begin calling each other names.

This blog is my space that I opened to everyone wanting and needing to know about how to improve their personal finances. Through the foresight and genius of INQUIRER.net, we have been given a forum to share information and give our little contribution to a better life for fellow Filipinos. When you get invited to someone’s personal space, you try to respect that space and use your best manners.

Isn’t it true that we can all benefit if there is open discussion – different opinions and all – without name-calling? When we start doing that, our messages, the points that we want others to understand, do not get the attention they deserve. The gems of understanding get hidden under the murk of offensive words. There is a Filipino word that cannot be accurately translated in English: sayang.

Let’s drop the name-calling. You are free to post your opinion but we don’t have to force them on others. From now on, posts that do not bring us closer to this goal will not be approved.

Now that’s clear, let’s all get on with the business of learning more, empowering ourselves to improve our personal finances and sharing our knowledge.
