10 Top Tips for Leaving Comments on the Internet

Here I present 10 Top Tips for leaving comments on the Internet!

1. Start by calling the content creator an idiot.
2. 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.
3. Question the political motivations behind the content and call the creator a Commie, Nazi, or traitor.
4. 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.
5. Introduce some irrelevant or tangential argument that bears no relation to the subject at hand.
6. 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.
7. Use anecdotes to prove that any statistics used are completely without merit.
8. Start arguments with other people to completely flood the comments, preferably being as rude as possible within the limits of the commenting rules.
9. Make sure to "thumbs up" your own comments and better yet have plenty of sock-puppet accounts to do likewise.
10. Finally, threaten to never darken the doorstep of the website you're on ever again/cancel subscriptions/boycott etc.
