Oi. If that’s really true, then that’s really rather frightening.
So why exactly did you pose the question in your OP if you were withholding salient facts? We can only go by what you tell us, darlin. What exactly were you expecting?
And I’m a Hodgkin’s Disease survivor. So what?
How exactly does this relate to making men grovel?
No, really not. People have had to write term papers for school since school was invented. Spelling, punctuation, and grammar counted then, too. If you manage to get through high school incapable of effectively communicating via writing, something seriously went wrong.
Perfectly said. If you want to be understood, the burden of communication is really on you. If multiple people are telling you they don’t understand you, well you can either blame them and yell a lot, or you can attempt to make yourself more clear. Which do you suppose would be more effective in accomplishing your goal of being understood?
We might have caught the joke had she managed to capture a joking tone in her writing. But given that she couldn’t / wouldn’t / didn’t even manage clear sentence structure, there’s no way to put tone into that.
In response to Lady in Red, I’d like to point out a couple of things:
[ul]
[li]The ability to create a readable sentence does count. [/li][li]Don’t go getting hostile at anyone and everyone because they’re having trouble understanding you. If you were hopped up on cold medication (as per rayh’s explanation) when you posted, then you’d have saved a lot of grief by just saying so. (We’ve had heaps of members making posts under the influence of all kinds of substances… we’re well trained to ignore it and move on.) By trying to make it everyone else’s fault, though, you got people offside. That’s how trainwrecks start.[/li][li]I assume the slagging off about us wishing you were dead was just part of your need for drama centred around yourself. However, if you really did think anyone wished that, then please be advised that you’ve really, really come to the wrong forum. We got up in arms at the idea of you wanting someone to *grovel *- do you really think that people who are against something as comparatively mild as *that *would be leaping to wishing for someone’s death?[/li][/ul]
If you wanted to have a joke with a friend and see what his response would be, why didn’t you just e-mail him? No one here knew about your private joke. When you said you wanted to make a man grovel people took you at your word.
To the best of my knowledge, real life couples bringing their real life angst (actual or feigned) to the board have always been steadfastedly reminded to keep their personal business to themselves, and - even though not necessarily a rule violation - the threads have been closed. Has this changed?
Unless, of ǝsɹnoɔ, your name is Daniǝlewsʞı and you’ve de[sup]1[/sup] to write a book[sup]2[/sup] in which ǝɯ dʃǝɥ [del]case the purpose is to confuse the hell out of everyone[/del].
With all respect to Giraffe, I disagree emphatically. We have rules against trolling, and I do not understand how posing a false situation in a provocative way is anything other than trolling.
This thread is closed. The mods will discuss amongst ourselves how to deal with this, since we have moderator disagreement.
