Above all, remember that Ship of Fools is not a "real" community, it's just a ragbag of pathetic, self-important wankers terrified of RL and incapable of any real social interaction. Make sure you treat the people here with contempt and dismiss any points they try to make as juvenile and worthless.
Now, here's a little-known secret: Treat everyone who completely agrees with you as your new best friend. Anyone who disagrees with you, even by the slightest, is your enemy, thus to be attacked repeatedly.
Make double sure to never, ever address the points made by the counter-attackers and accuse them of the very thing they're accusing you of.
Works every time.

Be personally offended when someone criticizes something about a group you belong to or even something about another individual in your group: men, women, Anglo-Caths, Con-Evos, Yanks, Brits, Aussies, Canadians, RCs, Chrismatics, Orthodox, clergy, tat queens, alt worshippers, lawyers, health workers, teachers, engineers, or people with any kind of physical infirmity. The opportunities for personal offence are endless and one can remain comfortably in a constant state outrage with almost no effort at all.
My own personal favorite is getting POed at people who DARE tell people of my gender what kind of vocation to have or not have. Nevermind that I myself would not for a moment consider myself suitable for any of the positions whose criticism sets me off. ( ![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif) mea culpa)

The bible was dictated to it's writers as the KJV; therefore it is also far more reliable than the older greek and hebrew texts, which we were only given to test us.

Given a choice between a thread title which succinctly describes the topic and one that will produce some good "Famous Last Posts" (if the right people can be inveigled to post), go for the latter every time. After all, people can find out what the thread is about by reading it.

If you can't think of anything new to say, just copy and paste something someone else posted elsewhere. No one will notice.
Also, If a discussion has developed from where it started, it should always be brought back to the topic of the OP by repeating stuff that was said near the start of the thread.

Remember that the 'back button' on your browser has no use, and that you do not have any ability to select on which threads you participate, or to skip those in which you are not interested, or to not read contributions from those you find troubling. Then, when you return to a thread which contains views with which you disagree or find upsetting (apparently there is a law somewhere that you must do so), go into a rant, accuse the people who are discussing a matter of every ill in the church going back to the first century, and, most important of all, post at length, with great online sobbing and many smileys, 'hosts! close this thread!'
If you begin a thread, and one respondent has answered with information you find useful, ask that the hosts close the thread at once before any discussion can proceed.

Choose your new thread topic with care. Make it about some highly significant local event, politician, community value or similar. But don't give any identifying clues as to the whereabouts or context of you or the post. It is always fun to make other shipmates guess as to what/who is pressing your buttons. Even if no-one but you has heard of them before.
Should they guess incorrectly, and display their ignorance because they are from another country, teach them right from wrong by denying the validity of their country, experience, skill or knowledge. Express stunned amazement that their life journey, in another culture, is different from yours.
Particularly deny the existance of many time zones on the earth. Always expect prompt answers on your thread, and forget that half of the Ship is actually asleep as you type. After all, if we really, really, really cared about you we would stay up day and night to post on your thread.

Never apologise. Ever, after all, you're chosen by The Lord, to tell us all how screwed we are.
BTW-PM's are a great way of personalising your message of hope. Get a document sorted, copy and paste into a PM, send it, and voila, Erin, RooK and RuthW all know just how much you love them, God loves them, and just how damned they are if they don't repent immediately.

Should anyone post something you do not agree with, it is probably because they have not read your favorite book, and would immediately receive enlightenment should they do so.
If, for example, there is a thread on the importance of preserving worship traditions, be sure to post a link to books that counter such foolish thoughts, such as Sacred Cows by Bill Easum, or this one by Michael Foss or just about anything by John Shelby Spong.
Once they see how widely you are read, and read some of your favorite books, they will of course realize how foolish their deeply held beliefs have been.

It is important to remember that all material available on the internet is freely available for use. So if someone else makes your point well, copy a large chunk from their site into your post.
Similarly, most shipmates don't get emails, so anything you recieve via email that might uplift other shipmates should be pasted into a post.

If somebody does not agree with you, it is only because they are not listening.
And be sure to do a "Good-bye Cruel World" Speech more than one time. The 2nd time around is better, 3rd time around is a charm. People will delight in you coming back and kvetching some more!
Be sure to talk about those stupid Yankees, Limeys/Poms, Cheese-Eaters, Vegemite Eaters, Don Cherry Lovers or whomever you are diss-pleased with. Diss diss diss is all you need to do in hell!
Be sure to feel whatever Part of Christianity you belong to gives you super powers...and that the whole ship will agree with whatever you say! Even if it is $@*7ing! stupid. Since this board has a lot of Liberals, it is ok to bash all conservatives and go on wild tangents with tin foil hats. If you are Conservative, make sure you try to belittle everyone in their belief systems. Then bring your friends from another board and see if you can stir the pot.

And be sure to carry dead horse arguments onto other threads.
If someone who is gay wants to find a gay friendly parish or a holy union liturgy, make it your duty to remind them that the are a uniquely evil sinner and that cannot be a Christian if they think differently. Or if a woman is seeking help in discerning a call to ordained ministry remind her that Paul tells her to shut up and know her place.
Prooftext liberally.

Always assume that everyone knows exactly what you mean, no matter how badly you express yourself in writing.
Be sure to use "all" "nobody" "everybody" "always" "never" a lot for dramatic effect. Throw in a lot of very broad generalizations (crosspond wars are very popular on the Ship). Everyone knows what you meant. Anyone who takes you at your word (and/or doesn't understand what you meant) is just being a big meanie head and picking on you. (And picking on you because they're down on men/women/liberals/conservatives/whatever you are.)

MAKE SURE you post something after saying that that somebody else has written already!

You can always think up a lot of OP's about sex.
Sex and the Christian. Sex and the Priest. Sex and the Choirboy. Sex and the Organ. Sex Before Communion. Sex After Communion. Sex During Communion.
The Missionary Position. The Vacation Bible School Position. The Consistory Position. The Baptistery Position. The Vestry Position. Sex In A Vestry.
What is the Proper Christian Attitude about Sex? What Kind of Sex do the Inhabitants of Hell Have? Is There Sex In Heaven? Is There Sex In Purgatory? Is There Sex in the Presbyterian Church?
Yeah, that'll get you right in there as a Valuable New Shipmate. Lots and lots of Sex.

Janine's relentless campaign to "Bring Back T'n'T" continues.
I see two possible outcomes; a (very) Private Board or a warning (or worse) for crusading.
Oh and dear Newbies, if you do have a hobbyhorse, ride it all over every board, thread and cafe conversation. Everyone will be so impressed by your determination.

Threads in Purgatory or Kerygmania which you find upsetting can surely be brought under control by a post consisting entirely of proof-texts. (Epistle to the Hosts 2:15) Behold, it is written in the book of Jasher. (Epistle to the Pedants 17:3) Everyone follows such arguments automatically, because they consist entirely of the Word of God. (Book of Gödel 3:14) Anyone who attacks such a post is rejecting the Word of God, and has no place on a Christian website. (Book of Angst 22:7)

Dead horses is to be regarded as a list of topics which are cutting, divisive and appealing, we never bore of them. Keep starting either direct copies of Dead Horses threads, or threads loosely based on them.
Also remember that real men don't use preview post. People admire your honesty in bad spelling and code, rather than those wimps who use preview post to alter their ideas. Really preview post is an example of indirect censorship on the boards

It's also customary when looking at long threads (say, 5 pages or more) to not bother reading the earlier posts, but instead state ina forceful, hostile manner, your opinion. When Erin says that it's already been said, just say "well to be honest, I couldn't be bothered reading all the posts up until now," people will understand completely and take particular note of your uncompromising stance on your opinions, and your belief that we should never tire of hearing about them.

I could manage Thursday evenings between Michaelmas and Candlemas, but not until 8 pm. Do they do food?

And don't forget to miss the edit window when you post on the wrong thread: Shippies will find your double posts endearing.

And of course triple posts are even more endearing.
