Czarcasm said to take this to the Pit. [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=151518](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=151518) > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Jukeball_ > Did anyone say it has to be original? It really seems to be the truth, and I like it! For you it probably became a horrible cliche ten years ago, but it makes no difference to me. It seems you are the only one with the probelm! **Spelling, grammatical, and punctuation mistakes (the whole lot of them, and where a lot) corrected by me. If you want to you may view the original reply at the link posted** I wasn’t _flaming_ you (despite the title of this thread, said title was a shot at humour), I was informing you what I thought of your signature. Since the title of the thread was “Check out my new signature” with five, count 'em, **five** exclamation marks as the content of your post, I figured that would be alright. Or was I mislead somehow? I was giving you my opinion of your signature; which is that it is tired and a cliche. Nice the first couple dozen times you hear it, but using it as your signature is like using it as a bumper sticker on your car: like telling a bad joke, only you tell it every single time you drive your car to everyone who happens to see it. The main difference being this is a message board where an exponentially greater amount of people are likely to see your “bumper sticker”, and have very likely already seen it in the past and gotten tired of it. Just my two cents, twerp. Sheeesh. > [@](#): > > PS: Where’s your signature Oh, I have one. I just don’t use it because: A) It’s not that great. B) Not using it makes things easier on our furry quadripodal friends. ---

Granted, the guy isn’t the brightest bulb in the growroom and his sig is worn-out and rather shitty, but this hardly seems Pit-worthy. Also, you seem to imply that Jukeball accused you of flaming him. I see nothing of the sort in your quote, or in the thread you linked to. You made a rude comment that was inappropriate for ATMB. Jukeball answered your comment in a way that was not rude and was appropriate for ATMB. What, exactly, is pissing you off here? ---

I suspect it’s because **Slythe** told him to and he’s a-gonna do what a mod tells him to. Even if it is rather stupid. ---

The truth is, I wanted to reply to what **Jukeball** said to me. But Czarcasm pointed out that my comment was not apropriate for ATMB, so I came here. I realize now I appeared to be angry, but I was just very annoyed. If I am just being an asshole and most definitely in the greater wrong I’d like this thread to be closed. But until then, I’m annoyed with the guy. ---

I don’t think anyone’s wrong here, just someone (named **Blackeyes** :)) was a little fast on the trigger. Just remember: Being too eager to pit someone leads to things like this. People have been pitted for less, but not much. ---

Why not start a thread (here or MPSIMS?) titled “Let me critique your sig”, **Blackeyes**? , you can start with mine, I’ve been looking for a good reason to change it.😉 ---

I’d like my extended sig critiqued, as well. Heh. This could be fun. 🙂 ---

It’s a sig that, like 99.9% of other sigs, is amusing the first time you see it and gets pretty old after a few days. 's why I amended mine;) ---

If I am just being an asshole and most definitely in the greater wrong I’d like this thread to be closed. But until then, I’m annoyed with the guy. I hope you won’t take too much offense, but, personally, I think you’re just being an asshole and most definitely in the greater wrong. To my mind, your comment in the other thread was kind of equivalent to accosting a mother pushing a stroller down the sidwalk and saying, “Christ, lady, that’s an ugly kid!” Unasked-for, and a little rude. So, yeah, if I were you I’d ask for this thread to be closed. But not before posting an apology. ---

ya ya ya ya I just read that quote somewhere a couple of days back , and I like it . U shoot ur mouth off where ever u want Mr Grammer aka Mr Spelling Corrector aka Mr Punctuation Marks Corrector and some ten other things which would make u happy! You should really contact one of the mods and submit ur rules 2 them , ohhh so many exclamation marks now I must tell this guy and say something now (kid) By the way this is around my 5th or 6th time I’ve changed my sig and lets 128 posts divide my six = 21.333 , which doesnt seem to be a probelm with me or anybody else (till u decided to view it) The only reason why a mod hasnt closed this thread is that he’s waiting for u to apologize or he’s laughing his ass out at you. (I think it’s the latter) More later if needed > [@](#): > > Spelling, grammatical, and punctuation mistakes (the whole lot of them, and where a lot) corrected by me. If you want to you may view the original reply at the link posted PS : Find any mistakes in this thread?Plz send me the mistakes in an email . And kindly post your corrected reply in this thread for everyone to see!Thanx:D PS : Happy advanced Christmas to all those(and everyone else) who wasted time reading this thread ---

What **Juke** keeps saying is: “(You) shoot (you are) mouth off where ever (you) want Mr Grammer…” and “You should really contact one of the mods and submit (you are) rules two them…” What language are you intending to speak?

At the risk of devolving this thread further, which would unfortunately entail the use of both monoculture and centrifuge, I suggest that the flamee, (henceforth called **Mr. Oh-my-god-the-grammar** \_ and the flamer, henceforth called **One-Role Asshole** , restrict their wonderfully fecal interaction to private e-mail, lest they suck all that is good and holy down their ingorance-radiating black hole of a thread. Final judgement: **One-Role Asshole** : Clue-by-four, cherry valium flavor **Jukeball** : English to English pocket translator.
