Or don't.

Just to clarify, I couldn't care less about your grammer. It just really hurts my head to look at a big block of text like that. I use old man fonts on my screen too. Really not that big a deal but if it's easy to do why not?

Pen, dividing your comments into paragraphs just makes it easier for us to read, and more likely that people will read all the way to the end of your comments.

The rules of grammar and spelling are to make it easy to communicate. If a writer can't bother to write to where I can read it (and by read, I mean to clearly communicate the thinking of the writer), then I generally skip over the post. If a person can't take the time to write properly, why should I take the time to try and decipher the message?

or don't what?
windows vista os has a change zoom level for people to use, which makes things easier to read.
I don't type in all caps, so, I can't understand the message you're trying to convey.
when my head hurts, I usually take a vicodin.
boy this is a friendly forum, 2 people already attacking the fashion I type in.
I only have an 8th. grade education.
who want's to be my private tutor?

Why not take the advice of people who read this board regularly, Pen?

Making your posts readable is going to result in more people reading what you post ... and isn't that the purpose in taking your time to write here?

Add me to the list of members who really skip over the long paragraphs with run on sentences....especially ones where correct punctuation is not used, or where words that are supposed to be capitalized are not.

And ... using the excuse that you only have an 8th grade education doesn't really cut it with me.....by the 8th grade, you would have been taught to capitalize words. And breaking up your paragraphs into several rather than one long run on block of writing .... well that can be easily learned.

I simply recommended she take therapy to get over her fear of arachnophobia, and I meant it in a completely nice/helpful way. As normal she overreacted and blew things out of proportion. Typical woma.... er.... nevermind.

Or don't was saying if you don't want to don't. Plain and simple giving you the option. No attack there and I further clarified it by explaining that there's a valid reason for my asking.

It doesn't matter if your breaks are in the right place, I won't be judging your grammer (like I said), it just won't make my head explode. I also said I already use the larger fonts on the screen so if I magnified it I'd be trying to read one word at a time which isn't easy either.

Edit: Took out inflammatory stuff. sorry

pencilin continues refusing to play nice,

p> ... or don't what?

Don't bother to do things that will cause people in the forum to respect you.

p> ... so, I can't understand the message you're trying to convey.

The message was clear. You *do* understand.
You are refusing to cooperate.
There is a difference.

p> boy this is a friendly forum, 2 people already attacking the fashion I type in.

It *is* a friendly forum. People here don't like snippy, nasty comebacks.

If you post in a format that is difficult to read then it's either because
you don't understand that it is difficult to read or you are inconsiderate.

This question has been answered to my satisfaction.

In another thread I publicly apologized for a misunderstanding by you.
The adult thing to do is to say something like ...

"oh, I misunderstood. Apology accepted." then move on.

On the off-chance that you didn't check the thread,
I sent another apology via DM last night.

Someone with a child-like sense of entitlement would ignore it.
It *was* ignored.

The public apology was made two days ago. You were on hours after
that, many hours yesterday and a couple hours today, but nothing.

Since you didn't respond and accept, it is apparent that the only reason you
are posting on this forum is to see how many people you can get ticked off.

"sounds like a threat ..." ............ <<< paranoid
"sounded more like a threat to me" <<< more paranoia

"I might try to find myself a
person friendly blog somewhere else." <<< please do
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< really, I insist

" looks like some people can't respectfully disagree or carry on
..discussions without going after each other. <<<< pot calling kettle ...

"but it's the infiltrators who browse, or, should I say "troll"
looking for a bit more than controversy? " <<<< ditto twice over

__________________________________________________
Notice the line breaks and easy-to-read nature of this post?

I did that ON PURPOSE because I want to make sure that I am
completely understood. Most people here are nice. I'm not nice.

TKO after asking very nicely, explained:

T> No attack there and I further clarified it ...

I cannot believe how nice and civil you are being in the face of
such a deliberatly obtuse response.

Later, TKO did an ...

T> Edit: Took out inflammatory stuff. sorry

Don't be sorry. I put some back in for you. I think it's better that way.

sounds like everyone is snippy and nasty.

5 people jumping on the bandwagon here already.

the more the merrier.

get all of the thousands of nasties on this thread to tell me what to do, and how to do it.

if you can't read my junk, read the next post you can make sense of.

I never asked you nastyies to read my stuff.

I do not need apologies either.

I will leave YOU alone, and not reply to your posts.

goodbye.
