Don't take shit from anyone

You won't be respected by the group until you show a blatant disregard for authority, and for anyone else for that matter. The key to mastering this technique is this: if someone tries to tell you something that you could possibly take offense too, don't bother being understanding, get riled up.

It should be noted that swearing and threats of physical violence should only be used in extreme cases where it's possible to back up what you're saying.
