Blogging on SAFECORNER

Thank you very much for visiting and participating in our forum, we appreciate your posts, comments and responses. Our goal is to bring these issues and age-old debates into the public domain, so that we can all become aware of the damaging effects of looting and the black market trade of antiquities. And most of all, take part in the solutions.

The destruction of the world’s cultural heritage is everyone’s problem, not the archaeologist’s, the collector’s or the dealer’s alone. Whether you are an academic, professor, student, anyone is welcome to post a comment on SAFECORNER. Academic credentials are not required.

We, however, reserve the right to moderate comments and ask that all commentators observe our usage terms listed at the bottom of the page. At SAFE, we value a positive approach and favor suggestions or ideas that contribute to solving problems.

When adding a comment to a post, we also ask that before you hit the “publish” button, read and reread what has already been posted and said before to the person who originally made the post. If the same points have already been made, wait until a new point comes to mind before you post again. At that time, we encourage you to start a new post. If you are not a SAFECORNER Author (listed to your right) send the post to safecorner@savingantiquities.org and we can post it in your name.

If you disagree with someone on a point, do provide the reasons. If you want to point out a mistake, show the evidence and offer your version of what the correction should be. As we know, unsubstantiated assertions without solid facts or reasoning behind them are easily ignored. Similarly, endless repetitions only turn readers off.

Ultimately, we are here to express our ideas and opinions; we should all want to do this in a way that allows all the good thinking to come through and be positively received.

Thank you again,

SAFECORNER
