This is a survival guide for political discussions on web fora. Can you take some [fdevil][hammer][wallbash][mischief][evil][lol];)?
- Never think before posting, it might lower your post count.
- Post anything - deny everything
- Post anything - if troubled afterwards, claim you have been inspired by God or possesed by an evil spirit or been under the influence of a psychotomimetic drug.
- If you were wrong in your post, never admit it. If the church can get away with this, you can too.
- If you were lying, never admit it. If the politicians can get away with this, you can too.
- If it is proven that we descended from the apes, keep quiet about it, so it won't become widely known.
- Post like a contemporary soldier fires a missile: fire-and-forget!
- Never read all of the post in a thread, rather start to spam, flame, insult or brag right ahead. This approach saves a lot of time. (remember: you are in for the PC)
- Never read all the posts in a thread, you might find a reasonable argument there - which to debunk would consume too much of your time. In the worst case, you might find an argument that is not to be debunked.
- Don't be more honest to your fellow posters than you are to yourself.
- Your are dealing with nothing but nicks and avatars, endlessly repeating the same sermon like chat-bots would do.
- Probably posters won't recognize you again in the next thread or remember your dull post from last week.
- Never forget to preach about your mission on earth.
- get an advertisment banner into your sig and earn some money.
- If you wanna laugh, visit the john, might be more funny than some threads.
- Responses which can't be talked away or that are asking mission-critical questions are to be ignored.
- Rely on dogma when you run out of arguments. Flaming will work too.
- A thread without a flame is no real fun.
- There is nothing like a good troll and nothing is like this. Your goal is to draw your opponent out, to make him utter a rediculous statment, thus he will look like the fool he is.
- Know the troll-threshold of your mods as you know your Ave Maria.
- Ridicule is as much a weapon as trolling is.
- Learn about the personality of your opponent, so you can hit him hard with a casual remark.
- Mimik the language of your opponent, so you can implant your views into his consciousness without him even knowing.
- Get a DL and take the stance of your opponents, discrediting their side with stupid posts.
- If you try to understand your opponent, you allow his thoughts to enter your consciousness. Never do this. Do you want someone to change the way you think?
- Anything you say, will be used against you. Therefore speak in general terms. Never talk of your private experience. This might intimidate other posters and make them think about themselves.
- Posters like to flock together in herds.
- There always will be someone who disagrees, however right you are.
- There always will be someone who agrees, even if you are wrong.
- There always will be someone who doesn't get it.
- Sometimes, this one will be you or me.
- Any thread will go Off-Topic if it only runs long enough.
- If a thread didn't go Off-Topic, it was closed or not deemed interesting by the posters.
- Don't drink and post.
- Stupid is as stupid posts.
- Ideas can be like mind-viruses.
