The Gist:

I (Jim Wolfe) run this site and would love for you to use it.  This site, blog, and related services are designed to educate and entertain, and we encourage you to express yourself freely. However, be responsible in what you write, and please be respectful.  Being critical is fine, but rudeness and personal attacks are not.
