Dorablog is active again! Joseph, the site’s owner, has agreed to re-activate it with me as moderator for an indefinite time, while he continues to take a break and focus energy elsewhere.
The blog’s rules remain the same.
The blog’s focus is Doraville and adjacent environs. DeKalb County, metro Atlanta, Georgia or even national subject posts and comments aren’t categorically off-limits, but posts and comments that aren’t Doraville-centric need to connect the subject matter to Doraville in a specific or significant way.
Comments on posts should be on-subject. A thread matter may drift or evolve, but high-jacking won’t be allowed.
Pointed and even snarky posts and comments have a place in vibrant open on-line communication, bald maliciousness doesn’t. Pseudonym postings and comments are very welcome, and postings and comments that identify the author are encouraged. To that end the line that separates pointed and snarky from malicious, though unavoidably fuzzy, is in a slightly but distinctly different place for identifiable versus unidentifiable authors.
People other than I had posting rights when Joseph was moderator, but past posting rights have been wiped clean (though Joseph of course retains rights). I welcome being contacted by those seeking posting rights, subject to the blog’s rules of course. My e-mail address may be readily obtained from the ONA/NNA/Earlynews message board comments that I make with some regularity, or comment here and I’ll reply and provide it.
