2. Make broad sweeping generalizations about EVERYONE on the Other Side based on the single example cited in Step 1.
3. Express outrage, disbelief or both at the beliefs and actions of the Other Side cited in Step 1.
4. Use foul-language to show that you're all grown up now and that YOU'RE REALLY SERIOUS about not liking the Other Side cited in Step 1.
5. Follow up with obligatory YouTube videos and/or memes mocking the Other Side.
6. Yuck it up with anyone from Your Side who also posts mocking the Other Side using steps 2, 3, 4 or 5.
7. Congratulate yourself and others for really having given the Other Side what for.
8. Thank God that you are not on the Other Side. Oh, wait...
Repeat Steps 1-7 daily to avoid actually thinking about what the Other Side is saying. (And joining them.)
Or, you can, inter alia:
1 blitz a forum with lots of copying and pasting;
2 deal with disagreement by saying the same thing over and over but louder;
3 patronise, patronise, patronise;
4 congratulate yourself whenever possible; and, of course,
5 run to the moderator for cover.
How's the shooting fish in a barrel going, Randy?
Kaninchen! Welcome to the Dark Side!
The fireworks haven't started, yet, so you're just in time.
Had some problems with mods lately, have you? Well, it's about damn time.
But don't worry, K, in this forum, you have home field advantage. Everyone will love you here. See, you already got kudos. I'll give you one, too. They taste great, and they have zero calories. (How symbolic is that?)
And we can finally speak our minds without restraint. Should be a hoot!
One other thing, I know that your specialty is the snarky one-liner post devoid of actual content, but seriously, try to interact with the arguments and facts being presented and not argue to the man (as above).
You may find it gets easier after you've done it once or twice.
