Came across these helpful guidelines from Justin Taylor in some interation with R. Scott Clark.

Paul encourages us to ask:

* Is this comment gracious? (Col. 4:6)
* Is this comment seasoned with salt? (Col. 4:6)
* Is this comment corrupting? (Eph. 4:29)
* Is this comment seeking to build up the church for good? (Eph. 4:29)
* Is this comment intended to give grace to those who read it? (Eph. 4:29)
* Is this comment fitting and appropriate? (Eph. 4:29)
* Is this comment true? Is this comment written in love? (Eph. 4:15, 25)
