This is exactly the kind of helpful, value added post you don't see on other platforms.
Regarding your Fourth Point .i.e Staying Civil @shayne had a great post that really hit home with me.

I still struggle with it, but it gave me a lot more perspective.
Thanks again @dwinblood

Yeah, I read that post by @shayne as well.
I've been pointing follow beggars to another one of his posts too. Seems like there are a lot more of them this week.
I guess that's a good sign?
Yeah... I don't really fault them. They come to a new environment and cannot be expected to just magically know all of these things. So I do personally give them slack and the benefit of the doubt, but I know others who do not.
I give them the link to @shayne's post and tell them they should read everything he posts about being successful here.
I doubt most of them will, but You can't make 'em drink.
:D
I see you slipped another one in when I wasn't looking.

I found it resteemed in someone else's blog.
It's probably my own fault for having 170 people in my feed.
Too much quality content + not enough hours in day + not read fast enough = :-(
