(i) only make a post if you have something to contribute to a discussion.
(ii) remember that you`re probably not as funny as you think you are.( I know I`m not.)

Happens more in real life than forums, but what a buzzkill that is.

2) This applies to forums and that is grammar nazis. So irritating to see somebody correct someone else on spelling a word wrong or something. Especially since it's usually obvious what the person meant, but someone always has to take their douchebag pills and correct them for some reason. I remember when I first signed up here, I said "unattracted" and Plum was all "HAY U KNO DATS NOT A WORD, RIGHT....." Only time I can remember someone correcting me... but what is this, a grammar class or a discussion forum? I see it more with other people and it annoys me when it doesn't even happen to me. Everyone knows what they are trying to say but somebody always has to be a hero and correct them like it's their 4th grade spelling teacher. I don't get it.
