A good guide to follow, adapted from John Scalzi’s blog, Whatever:
Comment as if your interlocutor stands before your eyes, clad in armor, and grasping a large sword; with them lurks a brutish cleric, gleeful to absolve bloodshed.
Incomparabiliter superna est civitas clarior. Ubi victoria veritas; ubi dignitas sanctitas; ubi pax felicitas; ubi vita aeternitas.
The heavenly City shines the brightest, beyond compare. There, for victory you have truth; for dignity holiness; for peace felicity; for life, eternity.
Saint Augustine, The City of God Book II, Chapter XXIX.
