Articles of (Internet) War

I'm a very non-confrontational person, in person, that is.  However, I've gotten more feisty in my old age, and for that reason, I'm thankful I have the internet as a medium for my argumentative nature.  As I've recently witnessed an epic one which addressed topics such as sexism, adultery, the great "letter of the law/spirit of the law" debate, and "the appearance of evil," I have found it necessary to put forth a code, a set of rules by which to angrily type.  For the approval of the people, I present, the Articles of Internet War:

1. Follow the proper procedure.  Don't just come in, guns blazing, and attack someone.  If there's a prompt (in most cases, the original post/article), respond to that first, and then wait until you're officially invited to the battle (usually, by someone saying, "you're incorrect for feeling that way, so-and-so").
2. Emoticons fix everything!  It's totally okay to call someone a Pharisee or a "self-hating misogynist" if you add a smiley face!
3. Don't infer beyond the text.*  If the person you're currently attacking hasn't actually called someone a "self-hating misogynist", don't be like, "you just called so-and-so a 'self-hating misogynist,'" because they didn't.  
4. When ambivalent, pick the side with the better grammar.  Sometimes, you just want to be a part of the fight, even if you don't care one way of the other.  It's much easier to create an argument when it's not based on run-on sentences interspersed with "tho," "prolly," and "idunno."
5. That said, don't play the grammar card until absolutely necessary.  It's a low blow and is often irrelevant to the argument.  Basically, when you reply, "yeah?  well, if your comment were a GRE analytical writing essay it would get a 2!", you're basically saying, "I've run out of further points to make."  
6. Find an ally.  It's awesome when you write something that makes an awesome point and then someone "likes" that point or responds with an "Amen, sista!  Preach it!"  Be that person for someone else, preferably someone who isn't already your friend, as it contributes to your objectivity.
7. When people start quoting scriptures or General Authorities, the gloves have officially come off.  This one's probably something that applies more to the Mormon crowd (so, 98% of my blog readers), I think, but when someone goes all, "well, here's something that someone said in General Conference once that supports my argument, so not only am I right, I'm more righteous than you, too!", the fighting has gone to a new level.  If scripture mastery wasn't your thing, tread lightly!
8. Don't fly off the handle.  Civility is of utmost importance.  You're not going to make a valid point if you call people stupid or use tons of profanity.  Even if your opponents don't come over to your (obviously correct) way of thinking, they can at least respect the fact that you kept a cool head and impeccable spelling throughout the argument.
9. Know when to hold 'em.  Have an awesome retort that you just have to use?  Let it simmer just a bit.  A more perfect opportunity may come along for it to make the maximum effect.
10. Know when to fold 'em.  Some people are stubborn and will never accept anything you say as legitimate.  Eventually, the thing is going to die down to the point where it'll just be two people still going at each other days later.  You don't want to be one of those two people, so know when to bow out gracefully.

That's all I've come up with so far.  I'm open to amendments, so please comment!  

*Also good advice for the GRE reading comprehension section.  I am so going to rock this test next week!
