QUOTE(closeup @ Oct 9 2005, 10:49 AM) While I agree with 90 per cent 0f JRock's comments, I'm inclined to be a little more lenient of the correct spelling requirement. As long as I can understand what someone is trying to say, I'll overlook the way they say it. Too much editing can kill the spontaneity of a conversation, typing or speaking. As for the "I agree" or other one or two word posts, they're just closer to that persons' conversational style. While I agree that it gets tedious and repetitive to scroll through page after page of this, I try to remember that this site is different things to different people.First and foremost, it's supposed to be fun. I think it's asking too much for every post to be a well thought-out, witty, or even entertaining endeavor. Sometimes it takes alot of sifting to find an interesting post or comment, it's even harder now that we can't seem to access all of one persons' posts like before. The bottom line for me is this: It's just pissing in the wind to try to change this, so it's just a mater of gritting your teeth and soldiering on. yes i agree but some times when you are on a thread and you post a comment you post one or two words then after you get done you think of something else you could of added . but we are all guilty of doing it one time or another and if it it dont bother the ones you are chating to it shouldnt matter.bye the way this is hot mama's hubbie i hope this makes sence???

You need to be able to go with the flow and that really may depend on how the conversation is going!! It may only need a or a or one or two of the many others that are available. Editing is ok if there aren't too many on, but if there are quite a few of you then forget it!!! They'll understand if you made a spelling error!!

QUOTE(closeup @ Oct 9 2005, 06:08 PM) No, but I can't figure out why the smiley face kept coming up instead of "B". Is it doing it to your posts? Like I said, mostly I agree with JRock and Bondi, but I don't want to bust on anybody for their spelling. Blame the computer for the smiley face!!! That would be my excuse!!

QUOTE(closeup @ Oct 9 2005, 06:19 PM) I kept editing it, putting the "B" in and kept getting a smiley. WTF? Maybe I should have used George Carlin's metheod: A,2,C. Or even number them...1, 2, & 3!!

QUOTE(closeup @ Oct 9 2005, 10:49 AM) It's just pissing in the wind to try to change this Never has a truer sentence been typed on this wonderful site. I agree with what you say closeup, I am guilty of the occasional grammar slip up so I can overlook that. I am also not trying to 'bust people's balls' over this topic. I simply think that one on one conversations should be kept to the thread of one of the two individuals in the conversation, or to use the PM tool. If you think of something to add after you have posted, use the 'Edit' feature, it works a treat. I also have no problem with people getting of track with their comments, lord knows I do it, as long as it is general flow of the conversations at hand. Anyway, these thoughts are my 2 cents and I just think using these guidelines would make these boards easy to enjoy for ALL users

Bondi Approved I look like you wanna look, I fuck like you wanna fuck. I am smart, capable and, most importantly, I'm free in all the ways that you are not.

Well I go away for a few days and we start getting bored with the tits on the threads and worry about punctuation and grammer?? I know I fuck up alot on my words when I type here like screwing up my liek and knwo alot.. but thats where im a fucking moron.... I hope that doesnt take away from folks on here because I can't get my fingers to work here half the time.. Im one handed typing anyway when im on RMM so I should expect some typos mixed upper and lower case ebonics??... I havent been here in a few days but I think I know who your talking about Bottom Line there's no reason to censor your posts ... feel free to type the way ya wanna This is a Forum Chat you have folks from all over mergin together. Each brings their own styles, quirks and language. Its all part of the game Just Enjoy and don't sweat the small stuff

Since this seems to be the thread for jumping on others' style of posting, I want to add this. New topic profusion, and Last Poster Syndrome. I think one of the reasons the threads are so hard to follow is the sheer number of them. I think what happens is this; somebody wants to introduce a topic, fine, but first look in an already existing thread and see if it might fit there. Secondly, let threads die a natural death, some topics are just played out but, and here's my beef, some poster's want to post on EVERY topic, regardless if they have anything useful to say, SOLELY to see their name as the newest poster in as many topics in a row as possible. This keeps threads alive long after their useful life.I don't want to sound like a constant complainer because I enjoy most of what I read, but it's getting harder and harder to do.

Close does have a point about multi threads on same topics... good Idea to use the Forums Search function to see if a thread has been started before and just add to them... It actually a good forum sign that multi threads are being made.. its a sign of growth. I remember when this forum had very few posters, fewer topics. The last poster syndrome falls into the category of its all kinds of people on a forum chat You will have that I'm afraid.

I'm sorry, but this is all getting out of hand. First of all, the title of this thread is inappropriate - to 'denigrate' means to belittle or disparage. What we should be discussing is the regrettable tendency for a thread to be denaturized, misappropriated.....or, in some cases, demolished! Of course, there is nothing wrong in subsequently denigrating those causing said misdemeanours, or, indeed, those who make pompous and pedantic contributions.... Personally, I just like it when people say that I have a nice body, and ask if I would hold it against them if they said they had a big cock....

Just once I'd like someone to call me 'Sir' without adding 'You're making a scene.
