I've learned that the greatest cop-outs transfer readily to the online environment:
-"I was joking"
-Racial and/or socioeconomic slandering or oversensitivity (flip sides of the same coin)
-Post hoc or context fallacies
-Using old mistakes or comments to invalidate good points
-"Schooling" (better related as 'safety and insularity in numbers') instead of understanding or being inclusive
-Self-righteousness (or "I'm right because I'm right, and he agrees with me!")
-Straw-manning in 'issues' threads (we've had some good discussions before - but mostly strawman arguments, bickering, whining, and not listening)
-ad hominem
-CHOOSING THE TIME AND PLACE TO EXPRESS OR INVOKE: outrage, morality, virtue, the site's ToS, etc etc etc
