**Anti Pro** I’m not in college anymore, I quit because towards the end of the year I’ll be employed through my father’s land brokerage company. It’s better money than what I was going through school to become anyway. **Scylla** best quality - my ability to make friends, I can talk to anyone about almost anything. worst quality - I have no patience for some kinds of people. best thing I’ve ever done - are all the small favors towards complete and total strangers. worst thing I’ve ever done - embezzelment (is that how it’s spelled) favorite Pooh character - Pooh of coarse, why? because he is always eating honey, why? cause he has the munchies, why? cause he is taking bong hits **dlgirl** love life - sexually I’m being taken care of :D, but in all honesty I wish I could find love. And yes, you can stalk me anytime 😃 **Margarita** fav movie - humm…tuff one…okay I got it Fav new movie Gone in Sixty Seconds because I love to drive fast and could name every one of the cars in that movie. Fav old movie Smokey and the bandit or Gumball can you tell I like fast cars and racing? \*\*Fav CD[b/] Uh…fav all time Cd was SMASH from Offspring, it’s just so full of energy fav opera - I don’t know any opera, sorry fav tv commercial - The Bud frog commercials \*\* News Baboon\*\* fav’s grape flavor koolaid little debbie sweet rolls Taco Bell Addidas sportscenter Aguleria - only because she’s hotter than brittney Strawberry poptarts with no icing Statue of Liberty Baby Ruth definitely boxers or sometimes I go completely free ---

He missed a possessive apostrophe in the OP and probably shouldn’t have used the reflexive first person pronoun. You could also say he didn’t capitalise and punctuate scru pulously but there’s much worse on this message board. On the other hand, maybe _you_ should practise what you preach. You quoted part of **Nicklz’** sig as though it were by **Anti Pro**. Between the two of you, I’d say **Nicklz** did t he better job of communicating effectively, which is the whole rationale that prescriptivists use to justify their criticisms of other people’s writing and speech. Prescriptive, pedantic attitudes like your’s are as boring as this post of mine has just b een. But it is especially grating when the critic makes errors whilst making their point. [sub]Please excuse my starting a sentence with _But_ and spelling _capitalise_ with an _s_ in addition to all my other crimes against Merriam-Webster.

**slowhand53** thanks **Hardygrrl** No I wouldn’t and I’m cut thank you very much **Mersavets** It’s always nice when other people get your back and you don’t have to do anything. Thank you. Come on people you can do better than this. I will answer any question, completely and honestly, that you ask me.

Probably not **Green Bean** , since this is shaping up as a fairly active thread. If nobody really cared then they wouldn’t open it surely. Give the guy a break. He’s said nothing malicious or really stupid or distasteful or ignorant. Save the cheap sho ts for someone who’ll bite back because it seems to me that this guy is too good-natured to do so.

Uh, have you read any of his other threads and posts? By his own admission he: –Drinks and drives. –Lied to his customers when he was a car salesman. –Feels free to be cruel to someone because he stutters. Sounds pretty malicious, stupid, distasteful, and ignorant to me. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-want-to-know-who-i-am/83256.md?page=2)
