User:Joe Copp/Lessons learned

This is a collection of valuable lessons I have learned/seen on this wiki during my time here. Since I can't remember all of them, this page was created on August 5th, 2011.

(Yes, I know that some of these are mine, but this page is for other people to read and learn from.)

"You don't have to grow up in a poor house to learn to love the things you have."

"Bronies, victims of trolling, or other people in an argument must learn that in order to keep things at a calm, acceptable pace, they must be reasonable and not push their opinion in any way. If a user presented 10 good reasons to watch MLP and didn't push the reasons or use wording that comes off as aggressive, the opposition would be much more likely to watch it than if the same was said aggresively. The fact is that the users here on the Call of Duty Wiki must learn to effectivly combat hate in a way that does not beckon for more. I have seen far too many arguments spiral out of control due to a lack or rationalization on both arguments' parts. If we ever expect to deal with these issues appropriately, we need to suck up our pride and start thinking collectively; we will be bogged down by simple disagreements such as this for a long time if we do not."
