About

IMPORTANT – Before accessing this site you must read and agree to all terms and conditions in the “IMPORTANT – READ THIS BEFORE CONTINUING” section below.

RUTROW.org is a web site dedicated to the expression of colorful and off center (not to mention just plain silly) content. Consequently readers may find the content and/or viewpoints expressed incendiary or disagreeable. As this may be the case we at RUTROW.org ask:

  1. If you choose to read these pages that you understand that the content may be disagreeable and take this into account before reading these pages. DO NOT read these pages if you are unwilling to deal with controversial, disagreeable, or possibly objectionable content.
  2. That if you do find yourself incensed to the point of action we ask that you PLEASE choose a positive form of expression. In particular, we ask that you WRITE US if you disagree with the content contained within (as opposed to other non-constructive methods). We will attempt as space permits to publish all reasonably written responses (please note that we reserve the right to edit or ignore any responses that contain expletives or offensive slurs).
  3. If you feel the content in some way is personally derogatory, particularly in a libelous way we ask that you contact us directly before considering other avenues. If you can demonstrate clear errors or discrepancies in the content, at our discretion we will either remove, correct, amend, or post a retraction to the content in question. At the very least we will attempt to print your concerns.

We do not expect readers to agree or even enjoy the content contained within RUTROW.org. What is found here is simply an expression of the various authors’ Constitutionally guaranteed “Freedom of Speech“. We do not ask you to agree with what is found here but we do ask you to honor the authors’ rights to freedom of expression. Similarly you have the right to respond to the content contained within as long as such responses remain within the boundaries of accepted and legal expression. In short, we ask, no make that beg, that you keep it civil.

Please keep in mind that regardless of if you agree or disagree with what you read, hear, or see here that the foundation of a democratic society is built on open and constructive discourse. This goes for your opinion as well as others. We at RUTROW.org encourage your constructive involvement here along with anywhere else you feel can make a difference.
