This blog is about news and information relating to dads within and without families. It is also about children with and without dads. It is about [1] the war against the family.

Dads & Things is affiliated with the website of [2] Fathers for Life.

This is a moderated blog. You may comment on any of the ideas posted at this blog, but the following rules apply (they will possibly change a little as time goes by):

Rules

1. Keep your comments short.
2. Make no ad-hominem attacks (any statement that a. appeals to feelings or prejudices rather than intellect, or b. is marked by or is an attack on an opponent’s character rather than being an answer to the contentions made).
3. Do not swear or use vile language.
4. Do not call for revolutions or assassinations.
5. Do not deprecate ethnic or racial origins.
6. Use facts and logic in your comments.
7. You will not be permitted to point to any location of information without stating which specific item of information at that location it is that you refer to and wish the reader to look up.  In addition to that, you must also state sufficient details that will enable anyone to find with ease the exact location of a specific item of information you are using to illustrate or support your point of view.
8. Do not base your comments on political correctness. (Political correctness usually precludes logic and facts and is generally based on unsubstantiated opinions.)
9. Do not [3] troll or pile on (to pile on is to respond to an argument without properly answering a point that was made but to offer instead more opinions that are not or at best remotely related to the contention).
10. Postings may not contain or point to advertising.
11. A comment that does not meet all of the preceding rules will not be posted.

In the event of any disagreement with those rules, the moderator (that is I) has the last word.  Repeated offences of the blog rules will result in the poster being banned.
