"Don't be a dick" is a fundamental rule of all social spaces. Every other policy for getting along with other humans is a special case of it. Although nobody is expected to ban or block somebody for dickery (as this itself would be an instance of such), it is still a bad idea to be a dick. So don't be one. If a significant number of reasonable people suggest, whether bluntly or politely, that you are being a dick, the odds are good that you are not entirely in the right.

$ _3 S# y+ `( s6 `# C+ vBeing right about an issue does not mean you're not being a dick! Dicks can be right — but they're still dicks. If there's something in what they say that is worth hearing, it goes unheard, because no one likes listening to dicks. It doesn't matter how right they are.

7 ^: g6 g$ |) N' dBeing a dick isn't equivalent to being uncivil or impolite (though incivility and rudeness often accompany dickery). One may be perfectly civil and follow every rule of etiquette and still be a dick. Standard dick-moves, for example, include such things as willfully (but politely) drawing attention to genuine (but inconsequential) errors in spelling or grammar of an interlocutor's comments, disregarding the Chomskian distinction between language competence and language performance. So the use of a vulgar term here to convey the concept is intentional, and distinguishes this principle from issues of politeness and other protocols of interaction. Avoiding dickery is not simply a matter of observing the more obvious rules of etiquette, but is a broader and more important concern, generally involving the practice of maintaining a position of respect for the intrinsic qualities of another person during the course of interaction – or else gently cutting the interaction short. Truly being civil and polite means that you do show respect for others (such as in not pointing out needless grammar issues), even when right.

* z; f% k2 a7 p$ |# G8 v7 c; t; ~Respect others, even when you disagree. Sometimes the best weapon is to disarm your opponent by disarming yourself (via civil and constructive behaviour), transforming an opponent into a collaborator. Subduing one's opponent without fighting is not only the highest form of mastery, it is also a winning solution for all editors involved, as well as the encyclopedia. Benjamin Franklin wrote: He that has once done you a Kindness will be more ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.

忽然意识到，二楼说的也有道理，也要看语境

如果某性感美女，半露着酥胸，半摇着美腿，半咬着舌头，半睁着眼睛对黑条：You are being a dick。。。。

Dick 确实可以是名字， 但要理解西方人的文化， 名字千遍一律， 在一个班上，喊一声 Elizabeth, 会有很多人回应的， 正因为如此，很多人喜欢给自己取小名

& s1 {7 l- u: J; w3 b: SElizabeth  =  Lisa, Liz, Eliza, Beth, Betty，Ella .......
William    =  Will, Willy, Liam, Billy, Bill  ......
Richard   =  Rick, Ricky, Dicky, Dick  ......
还有很多。

记得，下次见到有信给 Dear William, 看到 Bill 拿着就不要自作聪明说人家偷信，　闹笑话。
