1. Opinions
Posts and comments that I write in Fannie's Room are my opinion and mine alone. It is not my intention to cause harm to any person or group of persons. My opinion as expressed herein consists of my own personal views, is my responsibility, and is not the responsibility or representative of any employer I may have, any client of mine, any membership organization I belong to, any other feminist, any other lesbian, any other attorney, any other vegetarian, any other woman, my co-workers, my partner, my sibling(s), my parents, my friends, or my pets.
2. Comment Moderation
My comment policy can be read here.
Courts have held bloggers liable for comments that other people have posted on a blog. As such, while I encourage people to post comments that add to a discussion, I may delete comments to keep out questionable or litigious matters. This is not censorship; it is for my own legal protection. By commenting Fannie's Room, you agree to this condition.
3. Accuracy and Validity
We all make mistakes. My overall intention in blogging is to do no harm. While I do not intend to make mistakes or write erroneous information in Fannie's Room, I will correct errors if I discover them or if they are brought to my attention.
Furthermore, blog content here, as at any blog, may not necessarily remain accurate over time. For one, due to the transitory nature of the web pages, embedded links in my blog posts may change or disappear. Although I make corrections when I come across these changes and the links are generally valid when I embed them in my posts, I am not responsible for the continued accuracy of content that I link to. Furthermore, I am in no way responsible for content that I link to.
Along those lines, I reserve the right to edit, modify, and delete any of my own blog posts. This includes deleting or modifying my own blog posts that I deem to be petty, invalid, erroneous, or otherwise unsatisfactory. As a writer, I sometimes read older articles of mine and cringe at what I believe to be my own poor writing or reasoning process. What makes us better writers and thinkers is always keeping an open mind and a desire to improve. In short, I have the right to change my work if it is no longer reflective of my current opinions, beliefs, or thoughts.
4. Copyright

Thus, I've chosen to protect my work under the following Creative Commons License:

In addition, I do request that if people provide quotations of mine, they do so while providing a link back to my blog post (or at least provide a good reason for not doing so). If you cite quotes of my it is courteous to allow your readers to read the entirety of what I have written.
