My Twitter (and online) policy

I posted this on Twitter, but I think it's worth repeating here.

I generally avoid religion/politics online for good reason: people get passionate while discussing them, which can lead to cruel things being said.

Something you should know: I, my family, and many of my friends are Mormon. I don’t care if you disagree with my religion, but attacking me and my loved ones is not okay. I will unfollow and block anyone who does. It doesn’t mean I hate you; I just choose to not surround myself with negative, unkind people. Anyone who can’t treat me and mine with respect—or thinks we don't deserve basic courtesy—feel free to unfollow me. 

You don’t have to agree with someone to be courteous and respectful.

And now I return you back to your regularly scheduled programming.
