After reading the whole thing what concerns me most is that even with all of her spelling and grammar struggles she seems to have no problem with the correct spelling of pedophile. 3.

It’s such an odd windmill to tilt at, isn’t it? Not high school dropouts, not people with GEDs, just community college grads. It’s like some guy thinking people who liked Star Trek TNG are giant nerds. Not DS9, or TOS, or Firefly, or B5 fans, they’re all OK…just TNG fans. Those people suck for some reason. Weird prejudice, right? ---

Yeah, Hi Opal. I’m very offended by people trying to call me a pedophile. I know this is a board with dark humor but certain things aren’t funny. In one of the setting I taught in, a little girl was put in a foster home because she was being sexually abused. You don’t have to like my opinions or like me. A pedophile is a very sick person. PLEASE don’t even joke about me being in the same category as that. ---

> [@Trubie](#): > > Fine, but I hope people who I’ve called grammar nazis know I don’t think they kill people or have a problem with Jewish people. :eek: So if someone calls you a pedophile, they’re being unnecessarily nasty but calling other people nazis and being asked to stop means you act all huffy? Interestsing. I note you called Kyla a nazi, of all people and when she told you to stop, you simply refrained from calling her a nazi but went merrily on your way throwing it at everyone else without even acknowledging her. Your manners are lacking and you should feel bad. ---

Well yesterday increased my post ratio from 0.2 post per day to 0.21 posts per day, which isn’t easy considering I didn’t even come here for 3 years and despite my long tenure my posting history is sporadic at best. I don’t usually get involved in such train wrecks, but this was fun. Thank you to everyone. Trubie, I hope you grow up and can afford a nice bridge to live under. Maybe decorate it with your alma mater flags, some alphabet letters by the ceiling, a water and sand table. ---
