… ask yourself these three questions:
Is it kind?
Is it true?
Is it necessary?
Granted we’ve all heard this before, but sometimes we need reminding.

That last question has kept me from participating in discussions (on- and offline) for most of my life. Low self-esteem would always make me ask myself if what I wanted to say was necessary, if it added value, etc. And always I’d end up not saying anything at all because it probably wasn’t worth it for others to read or hear. Which sucks because participation is half the fun.
So yea, I try to follow the first two but have given up on letting that last question guide my online behavior.
Hopefully the first two will balance out the last :)
