Rule 3a/5: Don't @ me

According to the ancient art of Epicloot Statistics, rule 3a/5 is all about maintaining a healthy online discourse, free from the scourge of @-mentions. When someone says "don't @ me," they're not just asking you not to tag them in a tweet, they're demanding a total overhaul of the entire online paradigm. It's a plea to abolish the algorithmic echo chamber, to shatter the glass ceiling of our digital discourse, and to bring back the days of simple, @-free communication.

But beware, dear user, for this rule comes with a steep price: no more witty one-liners, no more clever comebacks, and no more opportunities to roast your enemies with a well-placed @ symbol. It's a sacrifice we all must make for the greater good of online civility.
