You've said "There's nothing I can do about that" a few times; yet all anyone is asking you to do is respect our forum and community by putting a modicum of effort into compiling your posts. Like capitalizing, punctuation, etc. Are you saying you can't do that simple task? Write English correctly?
You probably think it's cool to act like you don't care about it; something so 'insignificant' as punctuation. Without realizing it, however, you are presenting yourself to the entire world as uneducated, stupid, lazy, incompetent, and rather rude. That's what you're trying to accomplish?

look at first i was capitalizing and using punctuation to the best of my ability but then you started raging on me for a couple little mistakes it just got me a little heated so i said to myself why should i do what this guy who i've never met and never had problem with (because this is the first time i've had something similar to conversation with him) and it was just a little mistake that i made and it didnt seem like a huge problem to me and if you would have asked nicely and not kept at i would have fixed it and that would have been the end of it and i would have done it and that would have been that

I guess it is. Well done.

Well, since you don't want to show any of our regular members or our forum community any respect (as outlined above); don't expect any in return.

You know there's a hammer right over your head...

Judging from his Myspace, I'd say YES.

12AX7 · « **Reply #680 on:** July 06, 2007, 10:27:46 AM »

Is that a yes, a 'yes', or a "YES"?

You know, it's really sad that he took that attitude.

He seemed, initially at least, to "get it". He didn't go around reviving a bunch of 3 year old threads. He didn't ask for tech-support. He interacted in a way that is basically what one would expect - with the exception of the grammar/punctuation, of course.

Jason, if you're reading this, the following is just for you.
I didn't get an attitude and I didn't push the issue (I think that's the way you put it and I can't be bothered to go back and look.) I merely pointed out that even though you were making an effort, you could certainly do more. Commas come and commas go and we all make mistakes and get lazy with them. However, missing a question mark and putting 'how' instead of 'who' just seemed lazy. If I had a dime for every time I reviewed and changed my post before hitting submit, I could drive down to Norwalk and buy you lunch - in my Hemi Powered Dodge Ram 1500 (so that's no small feat.) It really doesn't take that much effort to review your comment. The beauty of an internet forum is that it's slower paced than a chat room. You have all the time in the world to format your post, consider your comments and how they will be taken by others when they read them. There's really no point in using chat room shorthand or neglecting the review process.

Sure, once in a while, every single one of us will post a short quip that lacks thought, review, punctuation, grammar and sometimes even lacks humor. But, that's the exception, not the rule. Chris, the forum's admin, wants to grow the forum and gain membership and I'm sure he'd like to have you around. You seemed to be fairly intelligent and able to contribute in a meaningful way. Please take a moment to reconsider your approach to the forum and the use of the English language and give it another shot. We're really not a bunch of grammar Nazis, but we do appreciate some effort to conform to the standards we've set.

Thanks.

100 years old, that's mature. I like how he's included his real name and high school as well, that always provides me with hours of entertainment once summer's over.

Ah-hahaha. So I guess you can't see this, then.

I still only have one on my list. And if Juggalo gets the axe over grammar while the one on my list continues to be spared for some kind of fucked up misbegotton prurient vicarious latent misogynism masquerading as "fair play" or "impartiality" or "freedom of expression", I will be pissed.

12AX7 · « **Reply #688 on:** July 06, 2007, 11:33:04 AM »

There is no correct way to think. There is a correct way to spell. Refusing to do one IS a freedom; refusing to do the other is either lazy, or blatantly disrespectful.

ivan · « **Reply #689 on:** July 06, 2007, 11:47:27 AM »

If you think it's ok to post ungrammatically in these forums, then you are thinking incorrectly.

It's a sliding standard, anyway. For example, with Needles content trumps form.

From my perspective, Juggalo has tried to join in the spirit of the forums without compromising his identity. I think he can redeem himself.

I do as well; which is why he's still active.

Well, we'll see. I admit that MySpace page is frightening. Maybe we can save him from himself.

12AX7 · « **Reply #692 on:** July 06, 2007, 11:56:30 AM »

I was rather hoping the same.
I mean, he did use the spellchecker. That's something.

xolik · « **Reply #693 on:** July 06, 2007, 12:08:02 PM »

I think he's probably a good kid, but needs to check the attitude at the door.

I'll admit I did get a chuckle out of his animated weed banner, but I can't help but wonder if years down the line it will come back to haunt him.

Why would it do that? He didn't inhale anything.

I'd like you to reimburse me for my cup of tea.

You know your right and I think I will try a little harder and take the time to review the stuff before I post and to any who thought I was being a dick and things of that nature you are of course right and I would like to apologize and I am open to all comments and criticisms that you have and I would like to thank you in advance. I would also like to thank you all for giving me a second chance.

Also I would like to add that I did not make my page my friend phat pat did, and I would also like to add I no longer live in Norwalk.

xolik · « **Reply #699 on:** July 06, 2007, 03:01:06 PM »

Wow. You handled that in a very mature manner. +1 for sure! Glad you decided to stay. I'm sure you'll be fine.

P.S. "Phat Pat" made me giggle.
