Terms of use

One: If you read or watch or otherwise consume anything I publish -- or have ever published or will ever publish -- on rhetorica.net, eyewitness.rhetorica.net, carbontrace.net, or any other website, news site, social media platform, or any platform of any kind anywhere in the world, you willingly assume full responsibility for the results of your engagement, or the engagement of others however it may affect you, with my material -- "results of your engagement" understood here as encompassing the entirety of human experience.

Two: I do not allow comments on most of my published material. You may find comments open on some platforms at some times. I require civility and politeness at all times. These are subjective values. I decide what is civil and/or polite on a case-by-case basis on any platform where I publish material. I reserve the right to ignore you or block you as the case may be based on my subjective assessment of your behavior.
