LOL

People express themselves in all kinds of ways.

I admit I can be a medium-sized prig at times. No one needs to expose me, I'm there for all to see :matte-motes-big-grin-wink:

Yes it is rude to point out a flaw. Would you point at someone's mole on their face and say "you could have that unsightly mole cut out you know - it's very off-putting".

My mother used to go round the job vacancy cards in the Jobcentre correcting all the typographical and spelling errors that the junior filling them out had made. A Jobcentre should be setting an example. A girl writing on a forum is just a girl writing on a forum, and maybe Jeanne isn't a Grade A student and doesn't give a rats ass about that. 

Anyway, Phil, I don't wish to carry on feeling intolerant towards you and your intolerance of people who do not write correct English, so I am moving along now.  It's obviously ok for you to be rude, or you would have been modded out by now, and Jeanne's a big girl, can fight her own battles I'm sure.


Oh give me a break... JeanneAnne knows perfectly well how to write in a coherent fashion... she just can't be bothered.  I, unlike Phil, can't be bothered to explain to her why I won't be bothered to try to decipher her posts... I just don't care that much.  Honestly, it's not that big a deal... now can we move on?

...Dres



Had moved on, as I said in final paragraph of my post.. Went for a bath, then watched "Coronation Street" (mediocre episode as Thursday's ones often are).

So had moved on. Hard to, though, when the coffee shop light is still on, can still see someone in the building and the smell of coffee and  lure of pointless chat lingers. :matte-motes-silly:

There was no public humiliation. There might have been if I'd mentioned something of which she wasn't aware, but I didn't. She does it intentionally.

No, I'm not and english teacher, and no, nobody appointed me to be one in this forum. I'm merely a forum user and Jeanne adds some unnecessary difficulty in reading her posts - for everyone - which is silly. For non-native english speakers, she may even make her posts impossible to understand. As a forum user, I pointed out to her that her posts are made more difficult to read because she intentionally writes words wrongly - and you don't need to be an english teacher to know that :smileywink:

I don't mind you feeling intolerant towards me, Marigold. The more you keep saying I was rude when I wasn't, the more likely it is that I will reciprocate the feeling :smileywink: Oh. One thing though. I'm not intolerant towards Jeanne the person because she writes the way she does, but I am a bit intolerant of that silly and unnecessary way of writing in forum posts. Keep it for texting, when a full keyboard isn't available, and all will be well.

Consider the following:

As far as I know, LL doesn't send employees out onto the grid looking for gambling violations (or any other violations).  They pretty much just respond to abuse reports.

The only way LL will know about the sploder is if some attendee ARs it.  But since it's just you and your friends, that won't (well, shouldn't) happen.

LL is inconsistent with enforcement of their own gambling policy.  There have been sploders and other games at places that very clearly violate the policy - and they've done so for literally years - but they never get taken down.

Given the above, if I were throwing a party and wanted to have a sploder there.  I'd have one there.

I agree completely, Phil.  You weren't rude, and her "texting" posts were off-putting to me too.  I hate the way texts are written with all the ridiculous abbreviations and shortening of words, adding numbers to words, etc, and when I text, I refuse to do it.  I can type "thank you" just as easily as I can type ty.  Especially on a full keyboard here at my computer.

It's rude to point out a fault? Since when? Not in my book. Jeanne's post indicates that she didn't find it rude either. She found it was some things, but not rude.

Perhaps it was the way I worded it that got her back up - and yours - but what I said was correct.


There's a tool in this Forum called "private message," and sometimes for issues like this it would have been the more appropriate way to handle / discuss.

Stuff like L8R G8R and the like bothers me also and sometimes I gloss over those posts also.  But  that generally a personal issue.

From post to post and from person to person it's a judgement call.  If someone writes a thousand word essay here with no punctuation or paragraphs I'd probably call them out publicly. 

However in this situation I think calling her out the way you did wasn't the best way to go about it.  For whatever my 2 cents are worth.
