The gist:

I (Sean, the author of Play Everywhere) run this site and would love for you to use it. This site, blog, and related services are designed to educate, entertain, and inspire. I encourage you to express yourself freely. However, be responsible in what you write, and please be respectful.  Being critical is fine, but rudeness and personal attacks are not. In particular, make sure that none of the prohibited items listed below appear in your writing or what you link to (things like spam, viruses, or hate content). That’s the gist of it.  Thanks also to the good folks at Automattic (responsible for great creations like WordPress.com), who have made their more comprehensive Terms of Service available under a Creative Commons Sharealike license, which means that you can borrow some or all of their wording for your own Terms of Service.  That’s exactly what I did.
