7) if you're in the middle of a post and notice you're talking about harming another poster physically, close the browser and go outside. let's say you decided to ignore everything i've said so far and are in a heated battle with one of getbig's more vicious attack dogs. you're furious, you're pounding away on your keyboard, you've got this awesome and scary threat about how if you ever met that dude in real life you'd cut off his arms and beat him with them. STOP. it's not going to scare anyone, and in the event that your chances of surviving the GB jungle weren't shot entirely, they will be if you submit that post. walk away from the computer.
Excellent post overall but this one had me LOL... "Close the browser and go outside." Because that's literally what you need to do. Go take a walk "out of doors." Listen to the birds or traffic, take a deep breath, meditate Brett Harvey-style, go get some groceries,
eat some Nubain smoke a cigarrette, etc. ha ha ha Compose yourself, because right now and for the next several hours you will likely be very vulnerable and prone to posting without candor. When you get back, check some new threads like nothing happened for a little while, then gradually ease into perusing posts where the person who offended you is active. Look for another at odds with that same person, and PM him encouragement or perhaps dirt you might feel useful to
his further attacks. Do anything but respond to the person who caused your temper to flare earlier. There'll be another day, it just probably shouldn't be this one. For all the rest of the board knows, you just had to go train or fuck your girlfriend or something, or you just got bored with the thread.
