Sending Comments to the Rouge Wave

Good afternoon, Wavers! I get a lot of comments sent into the RW; some that encourage dialogue and ask questions and have differing views - which I am happy to print and respond to. And some that are crazy, Red Bull-induced screeds and rants. Those you don't see because they are not productive. Someone sent a screed about readers being useless and that I don't like violent movies. Untrue on both counts. My top ten things readers hate list included gratuitous sex and violence - for those who might infer that means I personally don't like violence or action movies, I would encourage you to use your dictionary and look up gratuitous. So here's how you can get your comments published on the Rouge Wave:

Be polite and respectful
DO NOT SEND COMMENTS IN ALL CAPS LIKE YOU'RE YELLING
Do not use foul language or ask inappropriate personal questions or favors
If you have a differing opinion or experience, politely state your case and back it up

I am all about encouraging discussion and opinions. You don't have to agree with the Wave-inatrix, you don't have to send me cupcakes (though it helps; I did receive a dozen by messenger today, funnily enough) but you do have to make sense and be polite. That's just the Rouge Way.

Thank you. End transmission. Now get back to work.
