2) Is this post presented in a reasonable, calm, articulate, manner that can be engaged with politely? If no, look at rewording it so that it meets those standards.
3) Is this post idiotic and/or insane? If yes, then expect someone to call you out for said stupidity and perhaps go back to the drawing board.
4) Is this post similar to lots of other posts that you have made in the thread or other threads? If yes, then perhaps a single thread on that topic is a better idea than shitting up LOTS of threads with your idea/position/belief.
