Matt 7:12 (KJV)
12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

Jesus taught we are to act first in the manner we want to be treated, not wait until we see how we are going to be treated and then act accordingly. Many are forgetting this in their Forum life.
Hammer out ideological differences without beating on personalities.
I was speaking with an inmate years ago and he said "Man, the guards don't show me no respect!". I asked him "Do you want to know why?" He did, so hear was my response "The guard doesn't show you any respect because he's dealing with a 100 guys just like you".
Show respect to get respect in return. Attitude is everything, and it does show even in our writing, and can easily be misconstrued. Take your time, think out your words. Measure your words carefully before you dish them out in the heat of battle.
