Ilsa, it’s petty and mean-spirited, not to mention hyperactive junior-modding, to Pit someone because you think they put a thread in the wrong forum. You’ve been overreacting to minor provocation regularly for a long time; you’re beginning to sound like a Jack Russell Terrier.
I answered factually. I was pitting how stupid the thread and some of the responses were. Weak? Yes. I admit it.
:rolleyes:
so i am the guy that posted the OP on general questions. i have been away for the last week and when i returned to find my inbox bulging with emails from straight dope telling me of the replies to my thread i thought i would check it out. i have to say i am appalled. it appears posting something in a wrong thread is some kind of heinous crime. it also appears that people who like to think of themselves as being more intelligent than fellow dopers with large vocabluaries are infact complete fucks! Isla whatever the fuck your name is, you are the worst. there are others, but your names arent worth remembering.
i have been doping on and off for the last year or so, i have had a good time reading other peoples threads, and thought i would ask a question. a question to which, i admit, there is no definite answer, but the manner in which i and fellow dopers who shared their true-life experiences have been ridiculed i found extremely offensive and uncalled for.
straight dope could have a much larger population if it werent for people with such a low level of respect for other people. im going to go and meet my friends now. i suggest you put aside your thersaurus and go and make some for yourself.
See - even whining cry-babies can make friends! Let that be an inspiration to all of us friendless, lonely people.
your a cock
[resists urge to comment on the doping]
You’ve been around here that long and you still haven’t found the Shift key on your keyboard?
“your” = possessive form of “you” — Your moaning falls on unsympathetic ears.
“you’re” = “you are” — You’re a pickle.
[/resists urge to comment on the doping]
what difference does it make if i dont use a fucking shift key. i also think that the people here are probably intelligent enough to realise that your=you are. in short IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE! i always find it funny when people try to add to an argument by picking out lame spelling mistakes. your contribution to this little exchange has fallen on deaf ears, you dick
Well, since the vast majority of the people who post on these boards bother to type properly, it does make a difference, if you expect your posts to be taken seriously. Read the motto of the SDMB, and you may get an idea why statements like “IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE!” (Congratulations on finding the Shift key, by the way!) don’t help your cause. Sorry if you weren’t able to hear me before, but luckily, you were able to read and understand my post without needing to do any kind of decyphering acrobatics.
so i guess if being picky bastards is the name of the game, ‘IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE’ was typed using the caps lock
Yes, well, thank you, it is my a cock. And those are my a balls down there too.
And as you can tell, I don’t drive an SUV.
I bet you’ll use ‘u’ if you damn well please.
first, 5que, i dont have a clue what you are talking about.
2nd of all isla, you are a nasty piece of shit who launched an unprovoaked attack on me fellow dopers and 3rd, i will use ‘u’ if i damn well please.
i’m finding it difficult to put into words how much i hate you Ilsa, perhaps you could help me as you have such a superior grasp of the english language, you too gluteus, i’m having real trouble, please help…
Wow, good thing I didn’t throw out the “I burning your spirit” reference.
Thank you, I’m here all week. Enjoy the veal!
5que was talking about the difference between “your” and “you’re,” with a gratuitous reference to the relive sizes of his penis and your penis.
Please, go right ahead and use “u” in place of “you” and confirm our poor impression of you. Ignorance (not knowing) is bad but forgivable and curable. Willful ignorance is inexcusable and is generally not well taken here.
Chill out. Take your time to post. A fraction of a second spent using the shift key or typing “yo” as well as “u” won’t make you appreciably late to the keg party.
Think of this posting on this board as practice for real life - poor typing and writing may lose you a job someday because the boss didn’t bother reading your all lowercase resume.
Gack.
“gratuitous reference to the relative size”
You know, there have been times when someone has said something here that just pisses me off to no end. I get very angry and flustered.
That’s when I say myself, “It’s only a message board!”
I’m probably never going to meet these people in real life. They are not worth getting this upset over.
a_gherkin, take a chill pill, bud. Just repeat to yourself: It’s only a message board. It’s only a message board. It’s only a message board.
i dont think half you guys actually undertand why you are arguing with me. i did nothing wrong in the first place apart from post in an inappropriate place, something which, had the administrators of the board deemed it a hugely important issue, (as you guys obviously do) would have put right. to me my typing is not important on an informal message board such as this, and i would consider typing this way in a resume about as much as i would consider turning up to the resulting interview naked. can i just ask, if my poor typing creates such a ‘poor impression’ of me to you, Mort Furd, what does Ilsa’s apparent disregard for my feelings create about him?

That was ninety minutes ago. Please - resist the temptation to keep responding and go out with your buddies. We are but pitiful wretches, hooked on the Straight Dope. Save yourself while you still can.
