Don’t be a dick (Try to play nice with the other children)
Be yourself (I’m a part-time sarcastic git and full-time grumpy arse, but I mean well)
Don’t feed the trolls (and resist the urge to set an angry mob onto them)
Follow / Unfollow who you want (I prefer friendly creative types; sarcasm is an added bonus)
Don’t act butt-hurt if someone Follows / Unfollows you (all we are is words on a screen)
Talk with people, rather than market at them (take part in the conversation)
Be funny (and if you can’t be funny, be careful)
Be a goat, not a sheep (freedom of speech means nothing without freedom of thought)
Respond whenever you can (so long as you add to the conversation or are sufficiently sarcastic)
Share interesting stuff (no-one gives a shit what you ate for breakfast)
It’s ok to break any of these rules, such as when you’re drunk or in a bad mood, so long as you’re fucking hilarious.
