Engagement Principles

To maintain a constructive and welcoming environment on tharunpkarun.com, I follow a set of simple ground rules. Conversations should be insightful and respectful, encouraging others to participate rather than discouraging them through hostility.

By posting on this blog, you agree to the following guidelines:

01

Flexibility in Identity

You are welcome to comment without complex registration. Whether you choose to log in via Disqus, OpenID, Twitter, Facebook, or stay anonymous, the choice is entirely yours.

02

Public Q&A

If you have a follow-up question, it's likely that others are thinking the same thing. I prefer addressing these questions in the comments section rather than via private email. It allows me to share the answer with everyone at once, making the best use of my time while helping the entire community.

03

Respectful Disagreement

I welcome healthy debate and differing opinions. However, I ask that you express your disagreement respectfully. There is enough noise in the digital world; let's keep this space civil and focused on ideas.

04

Moderation Rights

As the host of this blog, I reserve the right to moderate or delete comments. While you have the right to your opinion, I am not obligated to publish it here. Comments will be removed if they are, in my sole opinion: (a) snarky or disrespectful; (b) off-topic; (c) libelous, abusive, or profane; (d) or primarily intended for "spam" and solicitation. You may, however, post a link to your own site if it adds value to the conversation.

05

Ownership & Liability

You retain full ownership of the comments you post. I do not own them and expressly disclaim any liability resulting from your postings. By commenting, you agree to relieve me from any and all liability that may arise from your content.

06

Licensing

By posting a comment, you grant me a worldwide, irrevocable, and royalty-free license to store, use, and distribute your comments in any format—including future blog posts, books, or presentations.

Conclusion

My goal is to host interesting conversations with honest and respectful people. These guidelines are here to facilitate that experience for everyone.
