You are not freaking E.E. Cummings. English usage exists for a REASON, damn it!

So is that a “Yes” on the tax protestor thing?

You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity.

Make of that what you will.

I make of it that he’s an idiot. This thread merely serves as corroborating evidence.

Seriously, who lurks for FIVE years carrying a grudge about a thread we’d all long forgotten only to come back seemingly solely for the purpose of committing suicide by mod?
Are we going to get a visit from The Grapist soon too? 'Cause that would at least be fun nostalgia.

if you would read what i wrote, i said i wouldnt pay to be lectured about capitalization

but now that it is free…and i open a thread and it is about the same bullshit as five years ago

and the same dumbass comments about being respected and laughed at and piled on

oh no…the townsfolks are after the monster!

seriously…i am back and i will not capitalize

You’re familiar with standard English, yes?

You’re really only hurting yourself here. This isn’t a chat room so speed isn’t an issue and if your shift key is broken find yourself ten bucks for a new keyboard. You’re just making yourself look childish and petulant.

Those of you who honestly think he’s a troll are just as guilty for feeding the trolls.

Those of you who honestly think he’s “hurting himself” by not capitalizing letters are acting just as childish, and terribly elitist to boot.

(Edit) I should add: If not using capital letters is incoherent to you, good luck reading anything for the rest of your life. Our language is evolving; the way people write is changing.

What about those of us who are just laughing at him because he’s deeply childish and startlingly dumb?

I don’t have a dog in this fight but it is worth mentioning that mhendo hasn’t touched his shift key in years and nobody has freaked out about it. (not sayin’ he should, just sayin’)

I don’t know. Do you need me to tell you how to feel about yourself?

O Rly?

rly. I guess it is just the “i” in the middle of sentences that he doesn’t bother to shift for.

Actually, I was asking how you feel about me. Because your validation is so important to me.

CHILDISH errr i mean childish?..guilty!

dumb? not compared to you

And we will continue to think of you as a whiny little git who should go back to your bridge and stay there.

Sure. My personal opinions are distinct from my professional ones.

then just ignore me…like you would a child

That would have been more amusing had you succeeded in typing in all caps. But alas, as Walpole taught us, life is a comedy to those who think and a tragedy to those who feel, and thus your attempts at humor are defeated by your microcephaly.
