I really gets to me when people don't proofread their posts before submitting them. The spelling is terrible, the verbage is horrible, and the content is sparse in many instances. PLEASE read and re-read your posts before you submit them! I know this post is going to cause some smarta$$'s to post horribly on purpose, but maybe there will be some that feel the same as I do.

I just saw a post a couple minutes ago in the Vista forum called WHAT DOES THIS MEAN from someone looking for help. There was very little information to go on and the spelling was horrible! WTF!!

I also understand this site is viewed by more than just english speaking folks, but still.....they do better than this!

Take your own advice, wanker. Your first word was wrong. I'll even give you the benefit of the doubt on verbage, even though verbage + horrible = redundant.

And because I like your style, I won't rip on you, but you should also read the stickies before you post. Down here, we don't care what you think. And no, I'm not being a smartarse, I'm (one of) the forum pedants.

Reply to JustPlainJef

Yep, you got me. I did miss the "t". That pales in comparison to many of the posts on this whole messageboard. While I appreciate you "giving me the benefit of the doubt", and "you won't rip on me because you like my style (would like some elaboration on that please)", it still doesn't take away from the point of my post. I did read the stickies, at least in this forum anyway, but I didn't see anything that decided what couldn't be discussed here except computer talk. This had nothing to do with computer talk. If I missed it, please link or point me to the stickie I missed the information from and I will be glad to review it again.

As far as a place to vent, this was the best one I could find that was "general". If there is a better place, please, by all means let me know.

/flame away if anyone wishes. Just wanted to let out a little steam.

I think you should ask a moderator to change your user name from bhowell to blowhole.

Your style refers to the fact that I'm one of the forum pedants. So I understand what you are saying. If you missed that, maybe I overestimated your intelligence. You also didn't capitalize "English," so I caught two of your mistakes. Is it way better than most of the posts on the boards? Yes. But if you are going to criticize others for their spelling and grammar, yours better damn well be perfect.

That means that we don't want to discuss your opinions. If you choose to stay, expect a little more abuse and then it will fall off. But you won't get away without dealing with it. As far as another forum to go to, we don't care as long as it's not here.

Stop wasting your time, Jef, unless you are enjoying yourself, of course :)

He's enjoying this far too much for his own good I think. We should tie Jef to Bhowell shove them in a dark room with a love song and see what pops out.

Nope, that doesn't say anything about not wanting to discuss someone's opinions. Yes, it specifically mentions no computer talk and not wanting people here. It even mentions willingness to insult. Discussing opinions is your interpretation of the said rules. I am sure there are other people that think the same. If you don't want any opinions posted here, then add that to the rules. That will make this thread a pretty quiet place as EVERYONE has opinions and have expressed them here.

Good luck with that. Only one would be walking out and I feel pretty confident that would be me.

We? WE? Who the fcuking hell let you in here? And what's with the "we"? Is it the royal "we"? Since when did you become a regular around here? My word, a few posts in the Other and you feel compelled to lay down the law. Arrogant too. I present exhibit A:

Having posted a whole 3 times in here, you know everyone well enough to make this assumption?

There's already a couple of donuts that hang around here that are convinced they're regulars when the truth is, they're about as welcome as a dose of the pox in a knocking shop. You seem on their level.

Now, all that remains is for me to to tell you to fcuk off.

So fcuk off.

Reply to RobD

Obviously you missed the sarcasm in the "we" terminology. That's ok. I forgive you.

Since I only have a few posts, as you say, I don't consider myself one of you. Thankfully so too. I am normally not a prick like some of you seem to be. I expect that though...it was in your stickie. I accept that.

You call it being arrogant. I call it being confident. No matter....we will probably never find out anyway so leave it at that.

Nope, can't say I know any of you and I highly doubt I will be attempting to set up any meetings with any of you as well. Arseholes aren't the type of people I typically hang around with.

No, not yet. I will get bored with this soon enough. For now I am still entertained.

IF you connected....it wouldn't be very entertaining. That would be an awfully long drive just to play "cricket with my knackers".

Reply to bhowell

Long drive for that??? I'd make the drive just to watch! And have beers with Rob.


The sticky was for the n00bs and said we don't want you here. That means we don't want your opinions or facts or thoughts on life or links to your "cool" websites or you asking us for our opinion on what car to buy. Whatever sh!t you're shoveling, we don't want it.

Like we (you and I) both said, expect some abuse. If you choose to stick around, it should go away. Until then, I agree with Rob. Fcuk off.

I'll even be polite about it...


Please fcuk off.


@Mac, thanks for caring, but I was bored at work. Also, most posts where someone makes a rant about spelling and grammar have at least a few errors of their own, which I find rather comical and / or ironic...

You know, I find it funny you say you don't want all of the stuff in the quote, yet this forum is full of just that. Are you saying you don't want them here either? You all seem awfully chummy for not wanting these type of people around.

As far as me going away, it will eventually happen. I will get bored and move on. For now I am enjoying myself.

Reply to bhowell

We know you will eventually leave.

You are right. I tend to get bored easily. I am trying to make this an exception though.

Reply to audiovoodoo

Ya know. I was willing to let this just die off but you all keep responding to it. There have been 6 posts since the last one I did....albeit they aren't the same caliber as they were before. Can't let it die?

Reply to bhowell

You've really not sussed the way this place works have you?

Reply to audiovoodoo

If you are asking me if I am not used to the way this place works, then my answer would be yes and no. Yes, as it is like a few other boards I frequent, and no, not this particular board.....but really not all that different. They all are frequented by people that like to /flame or put people down to make themselves feel better about themselves.

While my initial post was a rant and contained a couple errors (*slap my hand*), it was still a viable rant not unlike others I have seen in this very forum. I just happened to be the one singled out at this time to "have a little fun" with. That's ok. I can give some back too.

Nope, clearly you have not sussed out how this place works.

For seeming to almost have it, you sure are an idiot.

Us flaming you has nothing to do with making ourselves feel better. It has to do with weeding out the people we don't want here. Those people that see a small insult on a website and freak out, or the people that feel that they are better than everyone else, or the people that join the forum and then start spouting out rules to everyone else. The handful of new people (and Mugz) that come here and realize that the flaming is just in fun and is akin to hazing are the ones that tend to stick around and become part of the group.

Now please sod off.
