Have you got that covered? It really should be.

My bad ... here's a recap from my somewhat confuddled wetware memory...
- Have you read this website's rules of conduct? Are you sure? Please read them again ... and maybe even review them once a month or so.
- Investment in a free on-line spelling checker (or Firefox) will go a long way toward improving your apparent intelligence, and thus your credibility as well.
- So you claim to have psychic abilities or the ability to perform miracles. That's nice. How about a demonstration, right here and right now?
- Please, please, please ... read your Most Holy Scriptures in their entirety before misquoting from them and misapplying whatever you think they say to whatever random topic comes to your mind.
- So your pet is adorable. How nice. Your pet is just like every other pet of its species, save for a few cosmetic differences.
- Asking for evidence to support your claims is not a personal attack.
- Ditto for simply disagreeing with your opinion - not everyone who disagrees with you is an evil troll in need of having a new anal sphincter ripped open by you.
- Assumptions prove nothing. Neither do accusations, beliefs, dreams, emotions, fantasies, feelings, opinions, prejudices, rumors, suspicions, or something that you think you remember reading on some other forgotten website.
- Ditto for suggesting conditions or situations that have no basis in reality.
- Just because you are suffering, it does not mean that no one has ever suffered as much (or more) from being in the same situation that you are in right now.
- Asking for medical advice on a public social website is not as effective as asking for the same advice from a trained and licensed medical professional. Seek medical advice from a trained medical professional. Ditto for psychological advice.
- Just because some of us may have jobs, homes, relationships, or wealth, that does not mean that we have never suffered to obtain any of it.
- Just because some of us may have jobs, homes, relationships, or wealth, that does not mean that we have never earned any of them, either.
- If you ask for advice, be prepared to receive advice that is honest, unbiased, sincere, and possibly hurtful to you.
- If you post a question you don't want an answer to, expect at least one reply that you don't want to read.
- Sometimes, people don't read your posts; or, if they do, they don't really care anything about what you posted and they will not post a reply. Live with it.
- Posting something that requires the reader to scroll down risks that post not being read at all.
- Any firmly-stated opinion is likely to have several equally firmly-stated opinions in opposition. Learn to deal with it.
- If one person calls your posts "childish and immature", then you can ignore him or her; if two or more people do the same thing, then maybe you should consider revising your writing style; and if "everybody" says so, then maybe you should simply grow up a little.
- The best utility for ignoring posts ever discovered resides between your own two ears. Learn to use it.
- Anyone who does not share your political, religious, or philosophical beliefs is not your enemy; nor are they stupid, ret*d, insane, evil, or a troll. They simply do not share your beliefs. They may also be right.
- Derailing a thread topic to refute one small detail in a singular post does not endear you to the general membership. If you must refute something specific, then it's best to start a whole 'nuther thread.
- If you think that you recognize yourself in someone else's post (rant or otherwise), and you take offense as to what was being said, then please verify that the post was intended for you before "ripping a new one" for the person making the post.
- Not every post is about you, nor should every thread be derailed to be about you either.

Lol!
You seem like a very rational chap.
I had been meaning to ask, I've read the rules but I often have difficulty judging the unwritten atmosphere in places, even on the internet, I've posted on a number of the religious threads and I have tendency to be quite 'harsh'. Am I overstepping the boundaries here and need to tone it down or is that acceptable behaviour?

The best people to ask this of are members of the "Mod Squad".
Otherwise, as long as you attempt to refute only the opinions being expressed, and do not attempt to impugn the person that posted them, then you should be okay. Providing links to reputable articles to support your assertions is essential, and goes a long way toward gaining the respect of the general membership.
