ORIGINAL: DOMHAPPY2USEU Whenever someone corrects me on punctuation and grammar I am reminded of the old adage, "those who can do, those who can't teach". Equating intelligence and grammar is a mistake most ignorant fools like yourself do to make themselves look good. Ignorant people are those who dive in before they realize there is no water. Fools try to look good doing it. You accomplished both. As in most ignorant fools, they don't do their homework first. If you had, you certainly wouldn't have made a post like this. You see my stoopid friend that knowledge (book smarts, spelling, grammar) have nothing to do with intelligence. If your interested in what does, you will go to your library of useless knowledge in Any Town USA and research it.Researchers believe our brains will hold roughly 8 encyclopedias worth of knowledge. It is not the recalling of facts but the application and problem solving ability with the information at hand that measures intelligence. "Dumb as a box of rocks" ... In a book of famous last words yours would be : "hey Ya'll watch this" I know writers, they inhabit my life. Someone I have known since 1982 is a writer, and yes he gets paid. I am not disputing that you are one, but it is my observation from the others I know well, that your carelessness seems to be anomalous. They love words and sentence structure, grammar, and proper punctuation all matter a great deal to them. And paragraphs are a certainty whenever they write anything. As for the woe is me victim stance you have adopted: that fiction should be saved for your creative endeavors. God-dess only knows what might happen when you suddenly begin spilling your creative juices in a haphazard manner. You were told the whys of your ban. You may not agree with their perception of events, but they are going by something that was documented. This was not merely subjective opinion. Your perception is tainted, and being a writer, surely you understand people well enough to know how very common that is. You don't need to compound your problem by demonstrating how well you can impersonate a jackass... .You may be very good at it, but all that accomplishes is giving people a grand target for a rousing game of pin the tail on the donkey.
