This post was made to allow users to make suggestions to these rules to make them better, worse, more clear, more lenient, et cetera. Feel free to comment.

At no time upon reading any post written by TheAngriestPharmacist should anyone take the information provided as medical advice. If you are ever seeking medical advice, please see your local pharmacist or physician face-to-face. If you are experiencing an emergency, please do not read this blog (Duh!).

RULES

1. I spend a lot of time and a little bit of money in the creation, maintaining, and production of content for this website. Since I put all of this into TheAngriestPharmacist.com, I get to make the rules. They change based on each situation which, in turn, affects the next situation. Therefore, these rules are ever evolving.

2. This blog is created with Wordpress. Therefore, when you comment to any post I am provided with the following: The name you provide, the email address you provide, the comment you provide, and the IP Address from which your comment originated. When you submit a comment to TAestP through the Contact Form, I am provided with the following: The name you provide, the email you provide, the website address you provide, the comment you provide, and the IP Address from which your comment originated. Each visit to any page on this website also gathers aggregate information about location, browser used, operating system, pages visted and duration of visit. With some time and effort, all of this information could be combined.

3. Only The Angriest Pharmacist (TAestP) has access to any information gathered or received by The Angriest Pharmacist.com — General hit count and page views are tracked by SiteMeter. That is also only viewable by The Angriest Pharmacist.

4. Everyone in the United States of America is allowed the right to free speech and freedom of opinion amongst many other freedoms which we enjoy. However, I am the mediary between your input and what is output on this website — meaning comments are first moderated. While I will NOT disseminate your comment in any way shape or form, I may add an additional comment of my own beneath your comment — a rebuttal, dissent, or consent so-to-speak. My comments will ALWAYS appear in bold and cannot be mistaken by another commenter — who are all forbidden to use bold text.

5. Email addresses provided to TheAngriestPharmacist.com via the signup form on the main page for the purposes of notification of new posts will not be used for any other purposes. They will not be sold or shared with anyone. You, the user, will receive NO other emails from TAestP other than post notification (an automatic process) which ranges from 3-7 per week.

6. All information provided to TheAngriestPharmacist or TheAngriestPharmacist.com can and will be used against you as in a court of law in the United States of America.

7a. Be nice. I will not openly attack anyone for no reason, but when provoked, I will defend myself and my opinions to the fullest extent of my data and abilities. If you’re a jerk, mean, or a down-right nasty dickhead, I don’t like you. If you disagree with my opinion, that is fine. I can accept the fact that there are two sides to every decision. Your dissent does not require you to attack me as a person or my website in any way, shape or form. My content can be scruntinized and put under a microscope. At no time should you feel the need to curse at me or use any type of hate-filled language in your comments. Comments that don’t follow the rules will likely not be published. If they are published, you can guarantee that a bolded comment will be put beneath it.

7b. Commenters should make every effort to cite reputable sources to defend their point of view. Comments that use cited, reputable sources will NEVER be banned, even if they are dickheads, swear, curse, or make fun of me in any way. This will hereafter be known as “The Loophole Rule.”

8. I have the ability to ban any IP Address, Subnet, or range of IP addresses. I do not ban users for no reason. Users are banned for the following reasons: Unnecessary swearing/hateful language in comments or spamming comments (manually or automated). If you are banned, you will reach a special “Welcome Banned Users” page providing instructions on how to appeal your ban. Bans are usually permanent and appeals are only heard and considered in the case of accidental bannings or if adequate explanation is given (i.e. I was super drunk or I had a party and someone else used my computer). Ban evasion is easy with the method I use, and this tool is used more as a way to piss off the jerks.

9. To help offset the cost of hosting and time utilized to create content, Advertisements have been placed in the right sidebar. No users are required or expected to click any link other than those they are truly interested in exploring or visiting. While I can somewhat moderate the content on these ads, all I can promise is that they will not contain links to adult-oriented websites. I will do my best to ensure these ads do not link to something an average pharmacist would not condone — mainly online pharmacies or various drug-providing scams. Should you see one of these ads, you are encouraged to email the webmaster or contact me via the supplied form.

10. These rules are not all encompassing. Situations will be interpreted with available data and information as it is available/provided. I will serve as judge, jury (with the help of the readers in some cases), and executioner.
