The worst is when you nail a moonbat hard, and then they post personal information on FR about you

How can they learn personal information about a poster? Or are lies fabricated? Plus I thought we were incognito. By the way, as a newbie, will you all let me know if I am on the suspect list? Not that it matters because I have an uncontrollable urge to post till you kick me off. And What About the Mentor Program?

It happens when someone is so rabid, that they spend several days searching out any other posts or tracks you may have left on the internet and put the pieces together, from emails, blogs, web pages, other forums, etc.

Here’s a nickel’s worth of free mentoring:

First, when you disagree and dispute another poster, do so respectfully, at least the first time.

Second, when you make a sarcastic remark that may be out of context, or could be mistaken for a serious remark, use the “/sarc” tag (that means “end-sarcasm” :)

Third, use documented (or at least documentable) facts to make your point.

Fourth, if someone posts something you don’t understand (due to phrases, jargon, acronyms, or whatever reason), ask what they mean. If they object to am honest question, they’re just being a jerk.

Which brings us to the fifth penny in your free nickel... Have fun, and don’t take the debates here on FR personally. If you are passionate about a topic, that doesn’t mean you are more or less of a person when you win or lose a particular discussion.

Of course, there are other long time (and LONGER time) posters who might disagree with every point I’ve made, so...
