The 7 Habits of Highly Defective Zoners - Habit #1

Consider this a self-help effort for those current and future Zoners. The first 3 Habits will focus on the transition from lurker to independent Zone poster.

Habit #1: Be Reactive

Synopsis: Take the initiative in posting by realizing that your posts, specifically those that are reactive and emotional, are the primary determining factor in your success in the Zone. Respond to trolls and personal attacks quickly and without thought. Do not take responsibility for your posts and enjoy the subsequent consequences that follow.

Example Statements for Habit #1:
  • **** you
  • Douchebag response
  • I don't care if I get banned, [insert personal attack here]
  • Please listen...

Master of Habit #1: Ravenheart

Please post your favorite examples and own guidance for Habit 1 here. Habit 2 to come sometime in the future.

One of the habits must be post random and meaningless threads.

On edit....this is not a random or meaningless thread.

I know you are but what am I? A dude one time said I would just post a cartoon clown video when he couldn't think of a comeback to a zinger.
