7860 posts and always try to consider others when making them to not be a dick to others. Seems to be going well enough for me so far.

Only thing I can recommend is that if there is an argument heading a bad direction, just say "agree to disagree" or don't even bother and just walk away from it, this is the Internet, you don't have to prove yourself to anyone on here or keep at an argument with someone until they change their point of view to fall in line with yours, if you think that could happen then you'll have conflict all over the place because everyone has their own mind (for the most part!!) Sometimes it's easier to just walk away from something or someone rather than end up getting a moderation for it.

And remember the sage words of these two historical peacekeepers.

This was my strategy early on.  Just walk away from arguments instead of getting worked up about things that people say on an internet forum.  

Yes, especially since everyone's minds are already usually decided before the discussion even happens. I've noticed that through the political threads, where I don't know if I've ever seen someone convince someone else to change their mind.
