When you are p issed at a specific person on the boards, start a very general thread about why people are so rude...
And make thinly veiled references to how you feel about them so that only one side of the story is known and you can get only the reactions you really want.
Most importantly, make sure you delete them from your friends list b/c that really sends it home that you mean business!!! 
What are those friend things for anyway??? 
Thats really funny! I didnt even know that existed. Its like giving your best friend charm back. We are not friends anymore

If you don't get the attention you wanted from your previous 1000 threads or somebody hurts your feewings, be sure to leave the boards, but don't leave quietly, post a goodbye post in ALL CAPS talking about how much you wanted to stay and how great some people are, but you just can't do it anymore. Pretend to resist when 200 people who don't know you from Adam write "doooooon't goooooo. we looooooove yoooooooou"
Oh this drives me crazy!! I hate the ANNONCEMENT: I'm leaving!!! So please beg me to stay posts. If you want to leave, just go quietly.

But don't you love it when there's the big announcement followed by the inevitable return to the boards?

I know. Its like a little child standing by the door with a suitcase after their parents won't let them do something. "I'm leaving. I going right now. Don't beg me to stay because i won't. I really won't. I'm really leaving. I'm serious this time. You'll never see me again...Ok, I'll stay"

Spinoff to this: If an annoying drama thread is pulled do not ask why it was deleted.
Additionally, the usual subsequent "thank you" post immediately following the pulled thread is not necessary.

Re: Unwritten "rules" of the boards...
If a heated debate ensues - it is not necessary to start your own thread stating your opinion on the topic
Making your own thread doesn't make your opinion any more valid, and makes you look like an attention wh0re, thus taking away from the point you are trying to make

I see it as more of the person who is stating their opinion on a new thread is kind of saying "I want MY opinion to be seen loud and clear and not buried within a longer post"

If a question doesn't apply to you, don't answer it. For example (and I mostly frequent Parenting and formerly Pregnancy so I'll give one of those)...
Q: Did anyone else really not enjoy pregnancy? I feel like everyone is supposed to love it, but I just don't. I feel like something's wrong with me...
A: Oh, not me!!! I LOOOOOVED every moment of being pregnant!!!!!!!!
Thaaaank you.
this is a personal favorite of mine.....and the same people do it too....

Oh I am sure that many times that is the case. Actually the "hijack" thing was worse on LIW than here.

Re: Unwritten "rules" of the boards...
Wow--- I just realized that this thread is sooo long, and its not even a drama thread!!
Good job everyone! See? We can get along! 
I hate when people start threads with the title:
Who knows if....
When did you......
Why is it that......?
This kills me.

Re: Unwritten "rules" of the boards...
If you ask a question at 11:43pm, don't bump it at 11:57pm asking why there are no responses.... at least wait until the next day. Once in a while, some people here do actually sleep....

Yes but at the same time I would say, don't open a picture thread and not comment so you increase the views in relation to replies.
Well, at least that's unwritten rule I'm trying to follow now. If I know I won't really have time to comment and it's an obvious picture thread, I won't open it until I know I can leave a reply.
