Contesting over the web or engaging in compelling debate in the internet can be insightful, fun and offer you a certain rush of esteem and vanity when you know a matter better than the rest. However, there is a fine line between a loud, heated argument and being insulting, petty or instigating because you feel like an outcast, anonymous or ostracized on the internet. There are definite steps and systematic approach that will help you to sail across the online front smoothly.
Taking cognizance of your behavior
Recognizing and appraising your behavior is the first step. More often than not, behavioral attributes, changes and latencies are the prime reason behind a fuss or mess in an online chat or debate. There are time when people do not know how to respond, why to respond, when to respond, and precisely whom to respond. This aimlessness and indecisiveness is what you need to curb. A smart key is to ask or address yourself whether you would say something to someone’s face or not. In case someone you revere or admire sees your comment or material, would you care? This is a very important aspect.
Avoid clogged sites
Certain sites allow for wholesome loathing and scuffles. Often, this leads to a messy, untoward situation. You must void such sites that actively encourage or allow such malevolent behavior. Stop looking or fishing for forums or blogs you abhor, stop fishing for net-drama or navigating across anonymous boards. You can delete them or eliminate their roots from your bookmarks, assess cookies and get something constructive to do. You need to remember that those do or write things that offend or annoy you, or make themselves pretty targets for attacks are actual people. They have families and friends, and lead lives, which you are certainly privy to.
The psychological knot
The best thing would be to consider guidance or counseling for temperamental drawbacks or issues. If you cannot keep rude or loathsome comments or statements in check, or curb offensive behavior, gain any productive perspective like remembering a real person, or taking heed of your time waste, or discerning how obsessive or peevish you appear to be while harassing or bullying a single subject, this is the ideal recourse. You can always explore the psychological ambit if you find encompassing drama or bad-mouthing random persons has become a deep, ingrained habit.
The last derivative
You must realize and appreciate the fact that no matter how succinct a comment is for you, you can use that precious time for something you cherish. This can be playing video-games, chatting with a friend or fondling your pet. You can go outdoors and do something productive with your own life instead of wasting time on the internet. Even your flamers, fellow trolls and the likes can regard trolling to be repetitive, annoying and too petty after awhile. This happens when you focus your impulses to harassing a certain person or a certain group. You need to remember that nobody wants to hear threadbare grudge or rants again and again.
