No favoritism here, but...I love you.

Thank you both.  [:)]

I don't use spellcheck, btw. I'm just a freak who reads too much.


Hear, hear...or is it here, here?  I cannot remember since grammar school was over 25+ years ago.

Ok, pure. I didn't think you were the sort to not be being sarcastic, but you never know lol.

I was being sarcastic.  Most of my posts in P&ORS are.  The rest are pretty much to irritate the trolls.

I expect it's a power trip issue with many. It's a sign of a shitty character to get your jollies that way.

It reminds me of the old mentality "tell a fat bitch she's fat everyday and she'll finally do something about it" approach. That works right? Most people have shortcomings and I doubt they would react kindly to having it pointed out..I know this for a fact because I've done some pointing out to those that were doing the same thing. I'm the asshole of course lol.


um... yeah.  she'll prove that she's a bitch and slap the snot outta you.  At least, that's what I would do.

You live in PA..That's probably a relatively short drive..Why don't you load your ass up and come over. You and I both know your not near as tough as you sound.[;)]

This was a really good example. Actually the one that I was thinking of more along the grammar lines. It's just impossible to take someone seriously who thumps their chest about how long they have been in the lifestyle and then proceeds to use the word in the wrong context multiple times in one post.

There are way more important issues in life and this one seems a trivial way to base things on. Trivial seems to be the new black though huh.

No, I think we disagree. You can make your choice the mock the mocker too.

Difference is that I'm NOT telling you that you can't. We make choices all the time about what factors lead us to treat people in certain ways. I can't control yours, and you can't control mine.

I'm just not that invested in treating someone like this OP like Mother Theresa when they have spent years being an annoying clown here. They are just symbols on a computer screen and 2 minutes later they are responded to, or not, and done. This is the most time I've ever spent talking about said responses. Although the whole spelling/treatment of assholes debate does seem to occur with monotonous regularity.

And FWIW, your example of 'told about their issues' could seem exactly like mocking in someone else's eyes.

Trivial as mentioned before.

Just for the record..I don't believe I've said you can't do anything..I just said it's petty..Which it is.

The Mother Theresa thing is yet another cop-out. When it came to small things I just thought you were a little more above that..Ya know..the whole let the small things go stuff.

One more thing and then you guys can continue the harassment of others and I guess get away with it. Cause that's really what it is.
This seems to be the majority mindset or at least the ones that speak up about it. It's the mainstream attitudes and values that are reflected here..A sign of the times I guess. Not much can be done about it if people aren't willing to do it themselves. Maybe it's not a "clique" so much as people following the flood.

I'll admit to speaking out against those who do things like this and maybe being a little overzealous/passionate about what I believe but I promise you I don't get kicks out of it. I don't see how anyone could get pleasure out of so much blatant stupidity from seemingly intelligent people. You fuckers are off in the head and not in a good way.

Well, as you know, I do happen to look good in black.  [8D]

Oh, I'm quite certain that people will want to complain about how unfair it is to assess someone by their spelling habits or about how the world isn't fair and we should be nice to everyone.  This doesn't negate the fact that it is a written forum and it is quite common for people to use that as a determining factor when attempting to ascertain a person's intelligence.  Especially if they are attempting to communicate in their native tongue.

Regardless of whether what you've said is true or not...it's still petty.. No getting around that especially when it's used in a derogatory manner. Should I assume you don't agree?

Shrugs.......I do not control when a MOD gets around to "approving" or  rejecting my post. Here the BIAS is again. You chose to Post my Post clearly you are a masochist as "someone" has to approve it for it even to show. So if it was not you take it up with your fellow Mods.

I was the masochist who approved your OPs. I have no idea what bias you are referring to, as it was done approximately 48 hours after the posts were made. As Alpha said (see below), that is the normal time. It's not the mods' fault that it took you 2 days to notice that the posts had been approved.

Now I approved these posts hours after you made them, instead of the normal 48-72 hour window, because THAT is the customer service that people under moderation get.

Talk about your slow customer service! How long did this post take to get approved?


Ask for your money back.

As with many other things, we probably don't agree.  While you may place less importance on the matter than I do, that may be due directly to different personalities and perceptions.  Just as one of your own personal pet peeves might not bother Me, but might drive you absolutely crazy.



laurell3 -> RE: Is it alright to insult someone for spelling of grammatical error and if not why... (8/18/2010 3:25:13 PM)

I haven't read all this stuff in the thread.

At times I have a difficult time reading the CM forums and seeing what I am typing here as I post. I still manage to make my posts mostly comprehensible although with many more errors these days than in the past (I also blame that on overexposure to Jeffff's typing!).

OP, no offense, but often your posts and threads are so badly written that they aren't comprehensible. You also tend to carry on with your conspiracy theory of the day and baiting tactics. Together those two things are going to get the response you deserve. If you don't like it, spellcheck and really read your post to determine if the average person would understand what you are saying. Despite your constant assertations to the contrary, most people here will respond seriously if you post a serious topic that is comprehensible and has a topic for discussion and most people here won't attack someone that's a poster that actually contributes something of value for minimal spelling/grammar errors as we all do it at times.

By the way, the comment about VAA being a masochist made me giggle. That would definitely be newsworthy if it were only true! [;)]



divi -> RE: Is it alright to insult someone for spelling of grammatical error and if not why... (8/18/2010 3:28:14 PM)

heya laurell..
I was curious do you ever type with mittens just to keep up with Jefffffffffff hehe



laurell3 -> RE: Is it alright to insult someone for spelling of grammatical error and if not why... (8/18/2010 3:33:00 PM)

haha! I've gotten used to his typing and I almost always know what he's saying. The funny thing right now is his mac is self-correcting and it ends up putting in words that make NO sense on his posts which are worse than what the spelling error would be. THAT makes me giggle!

See now I thought attacking someone was against TOS.

Your obviously not aware that your words betray your mind.



Toppingfrmbottom -> RE: Is it alright to insult someone for spelling of grammatical error and if not why... (8/18/2010 3:52:09 PM)

No it's not. People don't owe any one the ability to type or spell well and their not caring to fix their bad spelling after you point it out isn't petty. Lazy perhaps, petty no.

It's petty of them not to suck it up and improve their language skills, really.

lolol Icarys I have a hard time imagining the day that you could actually ever know what's going on in my mind even if I painted it out for you. Nice try.

Have a good night!

Yup, there they're and their, and the to too and two, are also commonly misused.

ORIGINAL: LadyPact

 What it won't catch are common mistakes, such as the appropriate use for words such as "there", "their", and "they're".  Something I'm going to be a lot more lenient if someone is working from a second language than someone who is using their native language.

The above example is one that I have seen a number of folks have on their pet peeve list, so that was the one that I used.
