"Whatever you do, don’t attempt to engage your rival’s actual arguments —
keep it personal, and content-free. Remember, you’re not trying to
change minds, you’re trying to shore up your own enraged-nerd
credibility. (But do save 'KILL YOURSELF' or 'DIE IN A FIRE' for more
serious matters, like if somebody doesn’t enjoy a particular video game
quite as much as you do. You don’t just want to throw these around
willy-nilly.)"
Taken from a handy ten-point guide how to be outraged online. Have a read and if you don't enjoy it, you can, well, die in a fire.
