    LMAO @ George!!

    The funny thing is with wrum (ooooooops, I did it again ) okay, I'll admit, THAT time it was on purpose) when I first saw his screen name, I honestly thought it was "rum" with a "w" in front of it. So in the beginning, I was making an honest mistake but as I got to learn what a complete assholes this guy is, I really didn't feel compelled to take the time to make sure I was typing his screen name correctly.

    Many times, people make up screen names that are not normal words in the English language and I get it in my head wrong and I make an honest mistake. The same thing happened here with me and Roham's screen name, I just got it in my mind that it was "Rohan."

    Now as most of you know, Roham and I didn't exactly hit it off here when I first got here so when he barked back at me that I was spelling his screen name wrong and I wasn't very happy with him, okay, I'll admit, I started purposefully spelling it wrong just to get under his skin

    Fortunately, we're all passed that and I dunno what Roham thinks of me but I think he's a good guy.

    You would be surprised and disappointed.

    I know exactly what the point of this argument is, I'm a member of two boards that discuss hockey goalie equipment, one has a reputation as a great source of knowledge and information, another is a bunch of illiterate 15 year olds posting garbage like "OMFG mA new Reebokz R SO fukin kewl!!!!111!!!"

    The board's reputation does rest on the quality of the members' posts.

    LMAO @ Krautle87

    They probably DO indeed know better BUT they think it's "Cool" to talk baby talk My guess is the problem with that is they FORGET how to speak and write properly due to prolonged posting like morons.

    Can't really blame the schools for that one!
