Grammar, sentence structure, punctuation, and other issues require more of the writer's diligence and attention, and maybe even the effort to use a (online - it's that fucking easy) reference.

In the absence of voice inflection, facial expression, etc., of conventional communication, we all glean what clues we can that will give us some insight into the nature of the membership here. Instances of apathy, laziness, inattentiveness, and ignorance are catalogued away by readers, consciously or otherwise, and can accumulate and serve to give an overall impression of an individual as being a potential dilettante asshat fucking troll; not always, but the shoe often fits . . .

There are many exceptions of course, with leeway given usually to senior membership - folks for whom apathy, ignorance, etc., have been long ago ruled out. For good or bad, newbs don't get to enjoy that luxury until they are no longer newbs.

o who the fuck cares. the boy is 19 i am 21 and I really don't care... this is what makes me think people like you are snobs. If you don't like how someone spells don't read any of his/her post anymore. Much like I am going to do to you now for being such a stuck up got to have it right all the time douche fyi i am pointing out all the ones you had in red also and didn't bother to fix.

Woo, finally someone gets their ass on their shoulders and I'm in time to watch it develop. I so hate reading over this sort of thread after the fact, wondering how I missed all the fun.

Okay, well thank all of you kind people for the kind welcome to this (what i thought to be) helpfull forum. But as i have read over many post i have come to find that many people are more confrontational than helpfull. A great way to get more people into the hobby!

Un-welcome from Bitterville, PA

Just don't be all butt-hurt, grow some skin, and try to keep your posts intelligible, and this place is VERY helpful.

Flipping the

at a highly respected member, who was trying to correct HORRENDOUS grammar and spelling errors will provoke confrontation ANYWHERE!

Well seeing as I am not "Butt hurt", nor was i trying to offend anyone. All I was trying to to with this tread was to express my enjoyment of the hobby and the excitement that i had about my first humidor but acouple negitve Nancys killed that. Now when I comment on how this tread has become very off putting I am agian shut down my more members. Thanks

**stogienewb** · 08-06-2009, 08:33 PM

That's what we're here for, confrontation.
