10 Commandments for posting on a forum.. (1 Viewer)

[maddadicus]

I am hoping that this can be a fun thing...almost like a Letterman skit..and there may be more than 10, so I will start..

1) Never start a post with X mfg. is better than Y mfg., especially if the poster is on the Y forum...

2) All opinions are equally valid,except my wife's whose opinion is apparently more valid than others!

3) Never post a comment on a forum you wouldn't say to a fellow forum member in person (where he could get his hands around your neck)

There is no rule seven.

(4) "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."

Belligerently mark out your patch and metaphorically throw down a gauntlet for any other collector who is also inebriated by his own self opinionated importance.
Never use polite or gentle words when rhetoric and venom would do.
Put on your best mating season colors and stamp the ground violently in front of you inviting all passing fellow collectors to immediatley challenge you to a fight.
I find these rules generally work.

I find this has been my most valuable survival technique in real life. It is a good rule.

Some advice please Damian, if you'd be so kind?

I've traditionally worn a rather fetching little black and red number for mating season, but it's getting a little tired. I was wondering if you had any insight in to what this seasons mating colours are?
I'd hate to go out and replace it with something totally inappropriate, such as purple and yellow. The consequences don't bear thinking about.

Thank you in anticipation,
Simon

I thought there was no rule 6.

However, rule 2:
No member of the forum is to maltreat other forum members in any way whatsoever - if there's anybody watching.

Generally a full set of antlers or a tuft of silver down the back works for me.

You can indicate mating season has commenced by beating your chest and angrily gesticulating at other adult male collectors.

Thank you Damian.

I have the antlers and am going to find a mirror to practice in front of.

I prefer gesticulating and prominently displaying my blue behind to other collectors.

Those are quite apt mate but I especially like the blue behind.
