Yep, a very very good post. Keep quite means not having opinions and posting them on a forum?; because you are hospitalized for having those too

Alll disputes arise from differences in opinions. Be smart about it is what I'm saying. I have a few higher lvls added to my enemy list, and even if I disagree with them, it would be foolish of me to openly voice that in a way that could bring retaliation against myself or my gang mates. Twisting off DirkDanja's post, I am the leader of my gang, and thus, I have the responsibility to not only look out for my best interests, but for the best interests of everyone associated with me (which ultimately supersedes my best interests). Even if/when I become more powerful than they are, I have the responsibility to protect my members, so even then I cannot 'run my mouth.'

You can argue a point in a civil way and not receive retaliation, or if you do, you can normally find someone to aid you in striking back then. But when you bring in passive threats (or openly say them) or use profanity, or use any other type of derogatory statements, do not place the blame on anybody but yourself. Even I find that if someone more powerful is disrespectful toward me first, if I'm respectful back, instead of losing my temper, they will normally calm and a solution other than constant hospitalizations will result.
