    A timely and friendly reminder

    "things you should do in a discussion on the internet"

    It's a great list and it works in everyday life too!

    1. Stay on topic.
    2. If you're baited to go off-topic, don't take it – or at least explain how your answer is relevant to the broader discussion.
    3. Be as clear as you can.
    4. Be concise – show you respect others' time by avoiding essay-like comments
    5. Avoid passive-aggressive behavior. Insults cloaked in a thin veil of intellectual maturity are still insults.
    6. Never, ever get personal.
    7. If you feel your interlocutor is out to "win" rather than understand where you're coming from, politely end the conversation. You're not going to change their mind.
    8. Once you feel you've made your point, you're not obligated to keep re-explaining yourself. If you don't feel you're being understood, yet you sincerely feel you've done your best, let it go.
