How Not to Promote Apache OFBiz on Twitter

• Do not negatively criticize other communities, people or vendors
• If someone reports a  bad experience with OFBiz, offer help - but don't criticize them for reporting their findings or giving their opinion. Gentle corrections of fact are OK.
• Don't be boring. There are many things linked to OFBiz and you will get more attention on Twitter if you talk about subjects and re-tweet other people's messages about things other than OFBiz.
• Don't use NSFW language
