I'm always careful of both of these. When I post alternatives to GG,
it's as part of another informative and on-topic post. If GG annoys me
but I don't have anything useful to say, I just move right along. (And
sometimes even if I do have something useful I could say. Sometimes
it's just not worth the hassle of cleaning up someone's misformatted
code so I can help them.)

This is where I'm not so good :|
