Most importantly, you take every slight or jibe, even the ones that are just trying to be friendly, as a serious insult. Look at me, I'm Lord Cat Nipples, emperor of the milk bowl and cute kittens, but why the hell do I care? Yea, you can quote me on that too.

Learn to lighten up, to joke around, to be more social. That's why this forum exists, to speak your mind without uber-censorship and to be [constructively] critical of both the media and others. We're here not only to share our ideas, but to make sure those ideas are sound, and the best way to do that is to make the environment itself comfortable enough to do that. So, stop trying to impress only your ideas and start being a social animal.
