Here I present 10 Top Tips for leaving comments on the Internet!
- Start by calling the content creator an idiot.
- Announce that you couldn't make it to the end of the article, video, podcast, whatever due to a pedantic reason, such as a misspelling or mispronunciation.
- Question the political motivations behind the content and call the creator a Commie, Nazi, or traitor.
- Find one minor fact within the content to disagree with and make sure you tell the creator that this one minor bone of contention invalidates the entire argument.
- Introduce some irrelevant or tangential argument that bears no relation to the subject at hand.
- Ask questions that nobody could reasonably know the answer to or, alternatively, ask questions the answer to which could easily be found out but aren't relevant.
- Use anecdotes to prove that any statistics used are completely without merit.
- Start arguments with other people to completely flood the comments, preferably being as rude as possible within the limits of the commenting rules.
- Make sure to "thumbs up" your own comments and better yet have plenty of sock-puppet accounts to do likewise.
- Finally, threaten to never darken the doorstep of the website you're on ever again/cancel subscriptions/boycott etc.
