I do this maybe as much as 1/4 comments.

I would also add:

- Don't get into a back and fourth with a single other user, it's generally boring and goes nowhere.

- Don't rise to it if someone is trying to start an argument.

- Be generous, assume you are misunderstanding an apparent negative comment.

- Be complimentary, it makes peoples day.
