It helps also to do some things:
Remmember no one is 100% right ever. Not even me.
Admitt if you have realised you were wrong.
Try to address the question that was asked and not one you choose to answer.
As the Dungeon has a purpose it should be one that expresses what you believe or promote; there is no point dueling with other peoples opinions.
This world is a reflection of what we all are made of therefor all opinions and actions are relevant to describing what we are. If you don't like someones opinion on this forum; refute it; dilute it or disregard it. Don't dictate it.
Try to remmember that constantly harping on your own personal accomplishments/home/system/all the equipment you ever owned gets redundent and boring to others.
Beating your chest doesn't mean anything here; we are all equal under the sun.
Most of what people call arguments are really discussions and should be treated as such. Some people are more sensitive than others but unless there is something I am not aware of we are all men. Cut some slack when you describe what you think are insults. Thats usually just someone talking the same way they would to a friend in person.
If someone call's you a banana it's different than if they call you a shithead.
I tell my son; let your deeds do the talking not your words. Bragging and boasting are worse than insults because they demeane both the speaker and trivialise their opinion 0f the listener.
Try to be humble; no one here has won the Noble Prize that I know of.
No one's perfect and having something of substance to say is more important to me than having something nice of no substance to say.

I mean as long as we are laying cards on the table; thats my hand. Not directed to anyone except myself and how I believe it is right to behave. Everyone here has something of value to be offered; thats why I try not to judge people. I judge politicians because that is the game they signed up to play; but not individuals.
