That guy obviously feels threatened by posters around him that exhibit signs of superior intellect. Everyone knows people that devote too much of their craineal mass to silly things like spelling and punctuation never accomplesh anything in society except for writing dictionaries!

Sometimes reading some of these texts I get a headache just trying to figure what these guys are saying. Maybe bad grammar does show superior intellect.

Another good way to make yourself look like a total ********** is to twist other people's positions beyond credibility. If you're arguing with a member of the NRA, for instance, assume that they support private ownership of main battle tanks and rebut appropriately.

[b]Make Stupid Threats.
When someone takes issue with your writing, never fail to make dark h4x0rly threats about '0wn1ng' their computer. Tell them you'll "hack into their box", plant terrorist plans and child pornography, and tip off the FBI. (This works especially well if they live in Europe.) Tell them that you and "your friends" (yeah, right) will come by and "bust a cap in [their] ***". (This works really well if you're on different continents.)

Make Personal Attacks.

Claim False Credentials.

Make **** Up.

Another good way to make yourself look like a total ****** is to twist other people's positions beyond credibility.

Cite Urban Legends.

Emphasize and Misinterpret Religion.

Be sure to cite the Book of 'Revelations'.

Don't forget that Wicca is synonymous with Satanism.

Ramble.

This must have been required reading for style-conscious OoT posters back in the day.

Ramble.

You don't need something as limiting and backwards-thinking as a point to grace all of the IPv4 address space with your ******* writing, hell no! Start your masterwork with a skimpy rebuttal of what the last guy said, then make a fifteen paragraph digression into a dubious explanation of how quantum chromodynamics proves the existence of Atlantis.

Gabji.

I enjoyed that article, thank you.

However, it is rather ironic that said article actually has numerous grammatical errors, and I do not mean the ones placed there on purpose.

Not that it is normally a big deal, but one would figure more effort would have been placed on that particular aspect of this type of article.

It is still a good read though! :)

But don't you think "How to **** Like a Writer" would be more germane to our discussions here?
