The comment that caught my attention was this:

Wear a raincoat to protect yourself from pissing contests..

Can anyone think of others?

Also...when a difference of opinion does occur....don't feel that it's your sworn duty to beat the other person  over the head with your opinion in hopes that they will see the light and agree with you.

Taken from someone else's comment on another thread.. what are some good rules of thumb you would give someone before tackling the forums on here..



#1. I understand that we all have access to the dancing banana, but truly, don't feed the monkey's.

#2. Don't 'be' a monkey.

#3. Own your words and realize that if you present 'facts' someone is sure to check them out and call you on them if you're wrong. That's a sure fire way to lower your credibility.

#4. It's possible that you're wrong. Admit it and move on. It's possible that you're right, don't expect anyone else to admit it.. and move on.

#5. Beating a dead horse is one of the least productive things you can do with your time. Go bake a pie or something instead.

#6. Pissing contests can be a hoot and are fun to watch, but they do get old if that's 'all' you contribute.

#7. Highjacks can and do take place in any thread on any given day. Once you create a topic, it's no longer yours and it will go where it goes. You can try to get it back on track, but that won't always work. There are some folks who make it their forum life's work to start or highjack threads just to spew venom and they're more experienced at destruction than you are at preservation. Think of them as Terminators. They are relentless. Best to block them early so they don't annoy you.

Unless of course, you have actually be designated as a collarme police person like that sexy mod 11. And, nooooo I don't know said person or anything like that, I just like their style! I wanna see her spank benji some day for real!

Status: offline 		Don't believe that others have the right to attempt to force their opinions onto you and preach to you that their lifestyle choices are the ONLY lifestyle choices. Don't think for an instant that you can't stand up for yourself, but most of all block can be your friend in cases were a person is just noise that you desire to silence.
