As we learn on the MFP Forums every day, each of us has personal guidelines on appropriate ways of framing a message on MFP.

For fun, let's document them here.

I'll kick off:

1- Don't argue with Sarauk

2- Sarcasm is allowed after the fourth page of a thread because anything valuable has already been said in the first three pages

3- Ridicule should never be directed at people

4- Deliberate misinformation is wrong

    Not agreeing with the OP is considered mean!

    Therefore, I have nothing to say.

    8 - Edited: Don't actually READ the OP if you're posting on the first page. Just provide an answer that fits your agenda.

    My apologies!! *clears throat*

    Don't post any facts OR opinions without a peer reviewed study included.

    If I wasn't too old to have the brain capacity to find and post a picture of an adorable kitten clapping, that's what you would be seeing right now.

    12. If you post something on anything be prepared to have it blasted, contradicted, and/or devil's advocated by at least 2 subsequent posters.

    a. Have thick skin.


    That is soooo not true :noway:
