For the record, I also reviewed the rep note that you left for another member here and want to make it super clear to you that you are about to find yourself on a lengthy time-out if you continue to use the forums here to play "mean girl" or "unnamed target".

While it's fine for you to be irritated that people are not posting, spelling, or using grammar the way you want them to, it is NOT OK to use this forum in a way that might make other people feel ashamed or ugly about participating here.

This is a diverse community. People sometimes misspell things. People sometimes use sentence structure creatively. People sometimes use a bunch of ellipses......................
Hell, some of us can barely read or write but that doesn't mean we are not worthy of each other's basic respect. Bottom line? Please think about how what you post might feel to someone else before you post it. And if you are doing that shit on purpose? It's shitty.

Appreciate your cooperation!

That little spluge (sp?) of water that always seems to emerge first from the ketchup bottle, no matter how much I shake it. What is the deal with that??

Some fonts are hard for me to read, and it really gets my annoyed. It helps to be able to enlarge the font on a computer screen, especially if there are no paragraph breaks and it's one big chunk that my little brain can't hold all at once, so I pause, think, then lose my place when I go back.

Going into a bathroom and seeing that the toilet paper roll hasn't been replaced.

Me too.

If sentences run on and on, I have to just pass them up. Seems to be a computer thing mostly. Maybe it's the backlight? I like using little dots....helps me gather my thoughts... and it tickles me that it creates such a stir! Who knew??! I like the pregnant pauses....... lol

Admin-

I read back over my post and don't see any difference from other posts in this very thread. Quite frankly, I'm one of several individuals in the thread who identified grammatical errors as so called "pet peeves." I'm taken aback at the insinuation that my post is bullying or poking. As far as I know in my brief time as a member here, well-intentioned, innocuous kidding is an integral part of communication within any community.

My moderation is not up for discussion and I do not appreciate you acting as if you don't know EXACTLY who and what you were making fun of.

There is not a fucking thing that is "well intentioned" about copying a member's font and posting style, making a shitty, mocking post about it even if couched in self-riteous "helpfulness", and then repping another member as a "high five" about who it might affect.

That shit? It's mean-spirited as fuck and exactly the kind of high-school bullshit that we do. not. want. on this site.

You can have a 1-week time-out to mull it over.

Thanks,
Admin/Medusa
