I don’t know, I found it choppy.
Yeah, that’s what I meant.
I used to like Boyo’s posts but the last few months he seems to be getting more crotchity. As mentioned above, it’s all some people have. I feel he’s starting to become that guy. In context (message board post) that OP was fine. More broadly I agree with the OP, it is a shitty way to treat new-comers
Kudos? I don’t think so. Maybe he’s smart enough to know he was wrong and any defense would likely make it worse. If he comes in and admits he was being a dick, then kudos.

Wasn’t that a Seinfeld episode? The one where Jerry has a date with a Native American woman (same actress from Legends of the Fall), and she asks him how he was able to get tickets to a Knicks game on such short notice…

Tangent: I read that story as a very young kid. To further blow my prepubescent mind, I read it in an Alfred Hitchcock anthology, so I expected a supernatural twist…
If you haven’t read it, go do so. We’ll wait here.

You fuck ONE goat, and what do they call you?
Hal?
May I suggest either “… to lengthen the average sentence which…” or “… to increase the average sentence length which…”?
What, we’re not preparing a book on how to critique writing? Damn! Now you tell me!
Depends on if theirs any kids involved.
Can’t tell if this is a typo or if you’re being ironic.
Believe me, you will never find me writing any sort of manual on proper ways to write. I just don’t care enough.
To be fair, Jim, this was less a pitting about that one instance in my OP (you got your lumps for it, so I consider it a closed matter) and more about a phenomenon in this board’s culture where we are desperate to prove to the internet that we are the smartest people on the planet. We basically come off as very exclusionary and snotty and I’m sure we’ve lost quite a few potential members who otherwise would have added great things to the discussions here.
I merely made an example out of you.
Boyo Jim
Critiqued a post
With fervor and with unction
His main complaint
The OP’s screed
Showed narrative dysfunction
Alas for Jim
His own post has
Its own special malfunction
His last line starts
Incorrectly with
A coordinating conjunction
Not a typo. Being clever. Yes. That’s what it is.
Not bad; I do find it a bit choppy (kidding! I’m kidding!).
Hey, dude, like, take all that negative energy and go cure cancer or something, man.

The OP could pass a spelling and grammar test, but as a storyteller he sucks.
