Honestly. Treat people how you would like to be treated is the old saying, but you may need a tweak to that. Treat people with a basic respect as a human being. If they have something wrong, explain it to them, do not leave something just to a rumour or a lie, if it's not true you don't go about spreading it. If it's meant to be blunt and you know it's going to be a pain for them or cause them to fight back, it's most times best to bite your tongue and not say it. Think before you speak and before you act. Every person in this world is different. I can't tell you how everyone will react, but trying to press a truth that is a lie is not a good thing to go about doing. If you stepped back and looked at what you did around the times you kept getting banned you'd realise eventually what went wrong.@<span class="vcard"><a href="http://rainbowdash.net/user/9434" class="url" title="Brendan"><span class="fn nickname">abigpony</span></a></span> Alright, it's quite simple.
