First, I’m trying to put some of this advice into immediate practice. I think there are many excellent points in this piece. I have found that in my experience, I am best at not accidentally defecting when I am not emotionally involved in the topic, and that asking myself “What am I doing here?” has saved me tons of time and effort. I still sometimes relish battling the masses of the Just Plain Wrong, but more often I find it wearying.
People matter, and people’s feelings matter,especiallyif they have sway over your life, but even if they don’t have sway over your life.
I wanted to point out that the last bit is especially true because there are many who judge a person based on how they treat those who have no sway over your life, and this is one reason why I strive to be polite to waiters/waitresses/janitors/etc. I would also like to point out that I think your keyboard stuck on the ‘especiallyif.’
The suggestions at the end are pretty good. I was surprised about how many of those habits I have picked up, dropped, and relearned over the years.
It actually looks to me like every time the article has italics start or end, a space is missing. Is there an issue with how the site deals with italic tags? I’m viewing this on Chrome in Windows 7.
Wow, I didn’t even notice all the other ones. Nice catch. One counter-example to consider is in the first paragraph:
However, if both defect, then they’ll both receive higher sentences than if neither of them confessed.
I added the formatting for italics back in, since it didn’t survive transcription. Is there any way to view your comment before posting? I’m always kinda nervous to submit without an opportunity to see what I wrote as the world sees it.

I don’t know of a way to preview comments, but each comment has an “edit” button if you made a mistake.
For the italics I’ll do a test in this comment.
Edit: I didn’t lose my spaces, but comments might work differently than articles.
