If drama prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it.

It's really not that difficult. If you'd easily take out a quiz show about the ANI threads in the last month, or if you're four insults away from breaking the record for pissing off annoying the most editors without getting blocked, maybe it's time for you to exercise IAD.

But how does one withdraw from a daily fix of drama? Here's a few pointers:
 * ANI really doesn't need you stating the obvious. Don't weigh in if you have absolutely nothing to add to what's already been said.
 * Parroting a friend's opinion without fully understanding an issue is a bad idea for more than one reason.
 * Don't push the limits just to prove it can be done.
 * If there's no need for strong language, avoid it- you'll end up poisoning your own well.
 * Think about moving toward a quieter role in Wikipedia. There's plenty of pages that need attention; the dramaboards don't lack any.
