Contributor Guidelines (1st three via Dustin Luther):
- If you are going to attack something… attack ideas, not people. (i.e. “your idea sucks”… not “you suck”)
- Avoid obvious self-promotion
- Do not cross post content on other blogs
- Disclose conflicts of interest
- Topics should be issues that have either been researched or learned through 1st hand experience
