Back when I was your age (this was before the earth's crust cooled, mind you), a popular phrase when communicating on the Internet was:
Sit On Your Hands!
Why? Well, it's very tempting to dash off an email replete with hugely-exaggerated insults and rebuttals when you're hip-deep in the middle of trying to, ahem, make your point. Remember, anything sent on the Internet generally stays on the Internet. Never post anything in the heat of passion that you will regret once your sanity returns.
Make no mistake about it - Netiquette can make or break you online. It really can! Every community has it's own set of rules and mores people are expected to follow... if you're wise in their ways, you can achieve your goals far faster than if you're as subtle as a brick thru a skylight.
