If you want to be able to post comments on my active Facebook page (see Guide to My Social Media) and able to post comments immediately here on my blog (without going to moderation first) the best way to gain these privileges is to become a paying Patreon subscriber (or PayPal or Facebook subscriber):

  • Then you get to post comments on my blog immediately. No sitting in moderation first. Which facilitates discussion among patrons on my blog, as you can engage in back-and-forth discussions on any blog post here without my having to be there. Once you’ve become a subscriber any of those three ways, please contact me to request these privileges.
  • And you get to post comments on my Facebook page. That requires you to “friend” me on Facebook. All patrons get accepted. You just have to message to remind me when you send me a friend request that you are a Patreon patron or subscriber (and if your name differs on Facebook from Patreon or PayPal, please tell me the email address you used at Patreon so I can verify it). My FB message settings are set to public so you don’t have to be a Facebook friend to DM me on Facebook. Or to read my posts on Facebook. But only Facebook Friends can comment on my Facebook posts.
  • And you can claim the courtesy of my attention in person and other media. You can email me questions, DM me questions, pose questions to me at events, and I’ll apply special attention if you are a Patreon patron or YouTube or Facebook subscriber. Just let me know you are one. I get so much correspondence otherwise that I often now have to ignore most of it. So this might be a perk you’ll like as well.

There are other benefits to supporting me on Patreon at a higher level (that you can explore there, under the Membership section). But you can gain all the above benefits even at the minimum level of support, which is $3 a month (though I prefer at least $6, and that’s the easiest for you to set up). And if you don’t like Patreon, you can seek the same benefits with recurring support through PayPal or Facebook.

Although I greatly appreciate and benefit immensely from greater support! And there are big bennies for those levels on Patreon. You can claim the same levels of benefit for the same monthly amounts through PayPal (just ask). Any of these methods (Patreon or PayPal or Facebook) is the easiest way to help continually reward and fund my work. And that means you will be doing a service to the world by make it all available to the public, worldwide, without ads or paywalls. You can then use it yourself, recommend it to others so they can use it, or cite it to people you’re arguing with or persuading, and discuss its contents with them. In short, by supporting me in any of these ways you become a patron of valuable educational information that benefits everyone.
