Listen to Erathoniel ranting on and on in good ol' conservative Christian fashion.
An short, sweet, long, rambling article on Internet Etiquette
Published on April 17, 2008 By erathoniel In Internet

    Welcome to my article about getting on the internet and not looking like a total ignorant biased jerk. I'm gonna make a list of no-no's.

  • No name calling. Not even if they deserve it.
  • If you do have to call someone something, use references to make sure it does not have any worse meanings than what you wish to imply.
  • Don't start flame wars, nor carry them on. You may mediate them, though. It's unlikely you'll get anywhere.
  • Most people, once anonymous, say whatever they think. Do not attack them solely for this.
  • Keep your language clean. It's a major problem, and makes you look like a barbarian. Seriously, you don't have to swear if you can think before you post.
  • Accept any criticism for face value. Do not retaliate.
  • Do not say anything to start a flame war. You will annoy somebody by directly attacking them.
  • If you keep your own site, remain impartial to your users.
  • The same runs true for blogs and forums. Be fair. Though odds are if you're new, you will have no problem here.
  • Take any advice, they're just trying to help you out.

    So, what do you think?

I'm not too good at that. It takes me forever.

Webgizmos, I do the same thing!! It's very therapeutic, and usually by the time I'm done and re read, I reallize it's either not worth the effort, or would be more harmful than good.

Jafo is an Aussie. (and it was a joke)

Being an Aussie is never a joke....however being John Howard is....

Yeah, but you have problems directing guidance with the positive. I leave that for crummy self-help books.


Yeah, Jesus was nothing but an early Dr. Phil.

Jesus led by positive example, erath...why shouldn't His followers do the same?

Long live edumacation!!


I Liked it! My laugh was not at Jafo, but at the joke. I had not seen it spelled that way before, and really liked it! SOrry if I came across as critical of Jafo!

Quite the assumption that we are (h/H)is followers.

I try, I swear. Also, I would like to anounce that you can abbreviate my name just to Era. It's smoother than Erath.

I'll just call you Niel.

It's just like Neil, but the middle letters are reversed.

Take any advice, they're just trying to help you out.


So if you find the forums moving too slow, try pressing Alt-F4. It speeds it up in no time.

Ah...if you were laughing AT me you'd now be walking with a limp...

Actually....Aussies never take themselves seriously....gets in the way of enjoying the beer and/or the footy...

Wasn't 'edumacation' a Bush-ism?  I seem to remember it that way.

Jafo prefers eddykayshun ...cos it's fon et ick ...

I don't recall Bush saying "Edumacation". Though one cannot be too sure.

It has more than two syllables, so no, he didn't say that

I have one for you: Don't be a n00b and presume to tell regs how to conduct themselves.

Hm.

Seems no one has touched on the power of Google?

All hail the mighty Google.

When it doubt, Google it.

If still in doubt, try different search terms.

If still in doubt, ask Jafo.

If and when all else fails, ask me.
