Flame Warriors, by Mike Reed

I'd like to bring your attention to the awesome website Mike Reed created some years ago. It hasn't really been updated for ages, but it doesn't matter, as it's a source of knowledge able to withstand the passage of time. Why? Because humans are more or less the same they were when the page was created.

Flame Warriors is the place where I learnt everything I know about forums. Well, maybe that's exaggerating a bit, but I did learn somethings. If you have to deal with other people on the Internet, you'll probably be able to find some good advice on how to confront them on the aforementioned site.

"Confront them?" you may be asking right now. Well, we all know that forums are made around interesting discussions created by restrained people that try to empathize with the people they are discussing with, only in some alternate universe. In ours one out of three users will try to verbally eat your heart out, and threaten to do it in real life as well. With this small grimoire of power, you'll be able to quickly categorize your enemy, and that is half of the battle. At least, that's what my previous and dilated experience tells me.

In any case, it's just hilarious enough (although not less true because of that) to just spend half an hour reading through the descriptions and watching the pictures.
