For the love of God...

Stop deliberately misspelling the "comments" of people you disagree with, or think foolish. This has been getting worse, and worse in the last year or so, and it really needs to stop.

The people whom you are in disagreement with, do not type like the following example:

"HURR DURR, I BETZ THEY LIKE DIZ, RITE?!"

... And you do not make yourself look any smarter, or more informed, by acting like your detractors are mindless cretins.

If the person/company/entity in question is intelligent enough for you to take the time to argue with, they are worth the time to portray properly.

Why do people sign their posts? Like seriously, we can see your name. It's right there on the left. Can you please explain to me? Because no one ever has when I ask them.

 

[BathorysGraveland]

I agree, actually. It's pretty fucking annoying and as far as I'm concerned, anything that person is trying to say loses credibility when they resort to that type of bullshit.

I've never seen it happen on this forum, well not like that, I'm fairly sure I've seen users change it to "Oh why are you so damn sexy?" or stuff like that and then thank them for the compliment but it was very clear that they were just being playful.

And I'm going to join the club and ask what's the deal with signing you're post?
I mean you're name is at the left of you're post in bigger more noticeable letters? is that the word I'm looking for? I think it might be, not sure though...

 

[Hoplon]

Truly, an important and coherent message on what must be a very irritating habit of persons unknown.

 

[Nouw]

Why are people getting so uppity about him signing off? I don't see a problem with it as long as it's not done in every post.

I am annoyed by a something that happens not that often and instead of calling out the people that annoy me, I decided to be cool and make yet another new thread to educate everybody at once.

See, no spelling mistakes there.

But...but...what about the grammar? THE GRAMMAR?!?!?!

;P

Sheesh, it was 3am and the spellchecker was happy with what I wrote. Give me a break. But I'll understand, if you make a new thread about this

Well, I know as much as you do, but I'm fine with people signing their posts with some twist. Say, they could go with "Hugs and kisses" or whatever. They may even put their name plus some titles or elaboration, if they wish. But just the name... It sounds like a news reporter "Hello, this is X. . This was X."

 

[Pinkamena]

I've never experienced that. Where exactly is this a problem?

 

[Eclipse Dragon]

I've never actually noticed it was a problem, usually (On this site) my experience with people who argue with me follows this format...
-----------
[Person quotes my text]

*Insert logical counter argument here*
-----------
Ok so sometimes the counter arguments aren't so logical, but they at least try not to be a dick about it.

 

[Relish in Chaos]

But...that is how a lot of people on the internet talk, like on Facebook and YouTube.

 

[ElPatron]

OH HAI GUISE I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT I DON'T LIKE SOMETHING SO COULD YOU PLEASE STOP IT?

I assume this has been happening to you alot?

Otherwise I don't understand the point of complaining about it, especially with much better things to complain about. Like feminism threads, EA, or Ass Creed 3.

HEY GUISE I CALL ASSASSINS' CREED "ASS CREED" BECAUSE IT'S GOT ASS IN IT.

I can't believe I am defending the retarded caps lock and parodying it in the same post.

It's not great, but it's not that bad either.

This. Also making passive aggressive "educational threads" is <link=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.313743-Do-people-seriously-not-understand-why-the-Escapist-protects-their-ads-Warning-Ranty-text-wall>my <link=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.379604-Entitlement-You-Should-Know-These-Definitions>territory.

Deal with it, if you like discussions then you have to know that for every respectful discussion, there's bound to be someone who's going argue with you and act all childish.

Or else, just post from time to time and when someone calls you out or something, just ignore them. That works for me, but mostly because I really don't have anything significant to say and I don't have the patience to reply to someone who masters a language that I don't use generally on my day to day.

 

[XSTALKERX]

Dude just try to ignore it, but I can't blame you if you get sick of it because there's a lot of people that type like that.

 

[Vicarious Reality]

Is that related to when people insert 'clever' swearword puns into the names of things they hate

As such; ''why do people even use shitipedia anyway, everything on there is lies''

 

[Khazoth]

Erm...well, thanks for that PSA. I honestly didn't notice it being much of a problem.

One question though, what if your detractor really is a mindless cretin?

PSA? This isn't a PSA yet. Let me make it a PSA.. One moment.




There, now its a PSA. You're welcome.
