> [@](#): > > The difference is that when you make a mistake in my given area of expertise, I don’t call you lazy and inherently stupid. I don’t do this because I know that everyone hasn’t given the topic, that I studied, as much thought. **-Guy who first pointed out your error here:** You denied it was a mistake, and then got abusive and weasely when others attempted to correct you **again**. By what stretch of imagination do you think that sort of response requires hugs and kisses from the local english mavens? ---

After arguing with you for a while I think that I can say… You’re a Nazi. I certainly had never said that before, but I will now. You would have been the first cheering for Hitler and signing on to the party line. Why? Because you completely follow what is viewed to be the correct indoctrination by society and when challenged you quickly summon up a righteous indignation that keeps you from having any perspective.( see emotional arguments above) Hail Eli. Follow it to the ground. ---

**TIJ** : A friendly word in your ear. Sometimes the Powers That Be on this list offer warnings in order to guide well-meaning but straying newbies back onto the straight and narrow, in a stern yet avuncular sort of way. In other cases, the messages from on high are the sound of thunder that indicate that it would be wiser to keep your head down or risk an imminent smiting. From previous experience, I can say with some certainty that when **Lynn** says it’s your last warning, you should be noticing a smell of ozone in the air. Even if you’re convinced you’re in the right here, discretion is the better part of continued posting. I would hate to remember you at “That Steaming Pile of Ash”… ---

**Gyrate** you speak the truth. I have recently signed on with the Grammar Nazi Party (heretofore know as the GNP) and will engage in a concerted effort to eliminate all fun from internet forums. The simple steps of pointing out all grammatical errors and forcing the world to adapt to my view, instead of adapting to the world, by forcing my narrow minded viewpoint on all of them should be enough. **Eli** I hope that you can forgive me and we can unite against the forces of ignorance. (but seriously, I’m done now. Wasn’t it fun?) ---
