Yeah! And we all know how difficult it is for Jeb to type with his little paws while eating a ham and cheese sandwich! :p And besides, at least I had the courage to TRY! :)

Oh Cybermom, why would I listen to anyone who is confined to a ::edited:: ?!?!?! Remember my philosophy that I have stated so many times before....these pathologically diabolical posters are nothing more than dots on the screen honey, just dots on the screen. Besides, I am a crusty old bird, and, as my Grandmother use to say "If a jackass is beighing and kicking at you, he can't beigh and kick at another bystander!" :) You were so sweet to post your response, and if all 558 of my posts are boring, then I at least get an "A" for consistency! :p

first of all, nazi's what?

i, sometimes to my chagrin, find myself correcting other people's grammar. that's not to say i don't make mistakes of my own; however, i happen to notice the speck in your eye before i take note of the log in my own!

with that said, i'd like to point out that nazis is the correct plural, as opposed to the singular possessive form, which is nazi's.

i rarely use uppercase as i was warned many (many, many) years ago that it's considered shouting to use capital letters. to prevent anyone from thinking i'm an angry person, i choose to use all lowercase letters. i know LS (no space) uses no apostrophes, and i have learned to deal with this particular idiosyncrasy.

if i know you're just typing and make a little grammatical error in the midst of an intelligent post, i will let it slip. i notice it, mind you, but i won't mention it. however, grossly unpunctuated or grammatically incorrect posts grate on me and i usually choose to ignore them. however, sometimes, for the sake of humor, i will point out the errors. i realize it's mostly only funny to me, but i don't care. if i can't entertain myself, then whom?

rags, type what you like. i love ya, just the way you are :hug:

Clubby,
Thank you so much for the kind words. Despite my "book learning" I have the dubious honor of being a terrible speller! And the funny twist to that admission is that I am currently "Editing" my ex's textbook! LOL LOL Grammar is high priority, if I have to pay attention for a Journal article, a research paper, etc. no problem. But for forums, emails, I just type and ignore. As Preco and most of us know, my Jeb does a better job posting here that I do! LOL

You are so right, friendly humor and banter is one thing.....malicous intent, mean spirited venom, and, downright hateful spew is another. A good friend of mine was a Professor of Engligh Literature and he kept a stamper and an ink pad on his desk for exams and papers. When he had "enough" he would whip that ink pad open and stamp wildly "What affable twaddle" on the papers! Got right to the point and fast! The students use to open up the famed blue books and look to see how many "stamps" they had rather than the grade! Sometimes, I wish I could just stamp the same on my own writings for the errors I make along the way!

Do you remember the movie series "Indian Jones" by chance?!?! I know that in part one and part three Indi quipped several times "Nazis! I hate Nazis!" Guess that sums it up for me! LOL But you go right ahead and correct me any time you feel like it! I know that you are a lady of light heart and gentle humor with no ill will attached! I appreciate the same! Of course, you will have to wait for me to actually post something intelligent! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Maybe when I hit 622 posts, the genius in me will start to shine! :teeth: Until then, Jeb will continue to act as my "Press Secretary!"
:hug:

I really don't care. Go ahead and give me a warning or ban me for that matter. I am sick to death of some of the people around here. Who made any one of you the Anti Christ?

This is an online forum. Who the h-e-double toothpicks cares if you spell something wrong. We are no longer in high school anymore. So, people make mistakes, we are only humans. Get over it.

There are way too many hateful people and their 'posse' around this place anymore. It's not even enjoyable. They have sucked all the fun out of it. And, it's a shame.

I've kept my mouth shut for long enough, but I have HAD IT up to my eyeballs with all of this childish behavior.

Be a leader, not a follower. If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all.

Capiche?

Joyce, Babs, thanks! Couldn't agree more.
Anyone who spends too much time nitpicking over others' typos in an online forum really needs to get a life.

I also notice a lot of random venom and meanspiritedness directed at people that are new (check out the noob question thread on here to see what I mean). :mmph:

Rags, thanks for starting this thread. Love and peace and all that good stuff! :) :hippie:

Drifa,
I am so sorry that the new folks have a dickens of a time trying to fit in on these forums! I mean, it is like my trying to squeeze my fat behind into my jeans after eating cheesecake! It just should not be that hard to do! :o Call me a nilly willy head, or a polly anna, but, there is enough strife out in the world without making a ruckus here and turning the experience toxic! At the end of the day, when I put Jeb Stuart to bed, I hung and kiss him and thank him for making my life more joyful. For over a year I have been thankful for my experience here on Spoofee and for all the marvelous folks that I have been blessed to come in contact with. In the end, I still laugh at myself for my flaws and foibles and if the worse thing I do in life is post boring threads, or make a spelling mistake, shoot, I am gonna take it and run with it! :) Each of us here has a special gift that only we can bring.....if we were all the same, it would be like eating oatmeal every day with no milk and sugar. I welcome EVERY POSTER, EVERY THREAD because I feel I get an "extra sprinkle" of something along the way! So keep on posting and to the new people, bring your ideas, your concerns, your humor, and, you thoughts.....you truly are welcomed to do so!
:welcome: :hug:

Bring on the lemonade out of a thirty gallon trash can (Clean of course!) with a huge straw!!!!!! Do I have to show my driver's license?!?! :convinced:
 
Maybe the Grammar Nazis need a few of their posts 'modified'. LOL
 
Oh boy.....the quality of posts on this forum went waaay down recently. :convinced:
 
I was able to take time tonight and address a couple complaints, now I'd like to also suggest other solutions. Make use of the ignore option, if you would no longer like to see offending member(s) post this is an easy fix. Use the alert system if a member is insulting you let a mod know before it turns into a larger situation.

On the other side remember in forums, PM's and email people can't always tell when you are joking, keep this in mind when posting.


Thanks!

Hooray! Finally, a reasonable voice.
 
I'm sorry I do not agree with the banning of Gr8nrg. There are often hurtful and hateful comments that are seriously exchanged but ignored. Not fair, he voiced his opinion as to the content of someone's posts and not directly attacking the member him/herself. I've seen far worse from others every single day here. Even from those who claim to be the 'victim' who have blatantly attacked others and their children, but I guess as long as you do it with a big bag of wind and a know-it-all pompous air following it, it makes it alright?

Not in agreement with this judgment call.
