Why do you guys think giving me literacy advice is a good move?
See... what did I suggest about avoiding these types of questions. You don't really wanna know why someone posting advice feels like posting advice. Maybe they like typing something between innings, who cares?

And it's not 'literary' advice... nobody is telling you what novels you should have read. It's writing advice. See once again... you're trying to 'puff up' your jabbering with extra fancy-sounding words. My advice: you should really try not to do that.

What you're really asking is... well nothing, I'm pretty sure. You are probably just trying to say that you're going to be ignoring any and all advice given. I think that's been pretty obvious by your actions... even if it's not at all clear from your 'question', or if that's not what you're actually trying to say.

I assume I count as a 'mocker', so I won't answer the actual 'question', such as it is. But I'll leave you with some other questions to ponder...

Do you think some people might have had standard good writing advice offered to them free as a favor, like in Freshman Writing, or some place similar? Maybe all people don't treat everything like it's some kinda adversarial game complete with 'good moves' and 'bad moves'?

Just shows how much I care and that I'm willing to help you that much, even while you insult me the entire time.

I think it is better to put the motives for the spank-interested posters on a range of potential motives. They are all individuals after all.

Is is reasonable to presume that an intent help is minority position.

Really, the only help I have a need to ask is from people who made my language use their business and won't stop talking about it or mocking it when asked.

Repeatedly posting after me across the forum and disagreeing completely with mockery and repetition in almost every other topic are totally not personal. I am not asking you to stop doing that, if that is what you are doing.

I may or may not respond here in this thread, but it's not like your behavior is above or beyond me and that is obvious at this point.

People who made my language use their business may feel insulted at a person's response to the matter they did not expect. Bad luck. People have personal boundaries for a reason.

If you go fiddling with the way people talk, expecting more may happen than cheap lols is smarter.

Not bad, but obvious knockoff quality, given the lacking of what would be considered to be panache, as one would say, in the style made both famous and infamous in the language of the recently remodded Spank.

It's not your only problem but I think you'd do well to concentrate on being as concise as you can. If you use fewer words, there will be fewer chances for the meaning to go astray. You use too many adjectives and adverbs which make your sentences clunky. If you write your posts out "naturally" and then read back looking for opportunities to simplify, I guarantee you will see an improvement. You just need to look for ways to trim your posts without losing any meaning.

I picked one example to show you what I mean:

"How do think/feel about people asserting their personal boundaries with polite, firm requests?"

becomes

"How do you feel about people politely asserting their boundaries?"

Explanation:

1. "How do you feel about...?" is basically the same as "What do you think of...?". You only need to choose one. This is a good example of how you can trip yourself up by overcomplicating things. "How do you think about people asserting..." is not what you meant but it comes across as an acceptable meaning by the way you constructed that sentence.

2. You can drop "firm" as it's covered in the meaning of "assert".

3. You don't need to explain the mechanism for your assertion. It's a message board so everybody assume it'll be a written request.
Hey,
My bad if I seemed aloof about your post. This thread inspires some incredulity, it's a feature, I guess.

I understand your advice, and if you were a tutor, it would help a person working on the form which you can teach and seem to prefer.

Maybe we can start over?

NC Flounce is IT!

I'll give a chance even if we have different opinions on some wack kid.
05-24-2015 , 01:12 AM
Pretty sure they were saying Fun4Life is theKid. Might be wrong but I don't think I am.
05-24-2015 , 08:31 AM
No, Flounce is thekid.

Clues so far being:
Taking the effort to only refer to thekid as TheKid345 as though any normal poster would think it matters.
Being a new account that knows suspiciously large amounts about thekid's history.
Coming from nowhere into a discussion about thekid to argue with him (kid likes to do this with his alter egos)

There's an outside chance of Flounce being legit, but it's pretty small.
05-24-2015 , 08:56 AM
Dang, I was wrong.
05-24-2015 , 09:30 AM
There's also a pretty similar tone in the way they post, but Flounce neatens up the grammar a lot.
05-24-2015 , 09:33 AM
Fun4Life was getting accused of being him also, but was nuked so there's that.
05-24-2015 , 10:33 AM
No way someone can create more than one account...

All valid points, although I will admit, i've been saying "TheKid345" cause I get kind of a kick out of people thinking i'm him. Although, as I stated, I think he was a bad person and a sh***y human being. ... Maybe I should stop doing that I guess.

I know large amounts about the kid, and others, because i've lurked for years. Some threads I avoid because of the AIDS, some I read daily. And sometimes I read threads filled with AIDS. Depends on my mood, patience, time I have to read, things like that I suppose. You guys should be greeting long time lurkers like myself with open arms, fresh blood is a good thing and can provide some new perspectives on how other lurkers may view things / procedures around here, and what may be turning away or attracting new visitors to 2+2. Though of course, politics chained and unchained are not your main draws.

Coming from no where to argue with the kid, well keep in mind i've been lurking for a while, so I knew his "work" well, and he was my motivation to sign up for an account for so long when I saw a thread in which Chez was coming down on JJ, when it should have been about the kid and why JJ was completely justified in treating him with contempt. That thread needed a voice to summarize who the kid was, what he believed, and why we should all put aside our differences to say in one voice- this guy does not belong here. If I were the kid, would i really work so hard to get "myself" perma'd?

I'll take that small %, I don't run very well- but you're about to get binked on the river.

Nope, your first instinct was correct. Give it time brother, i'll make you proud.

the kid always struck me as someone whose second language was English, the way he "spoke" was almost robotic, without feel or emotion. It was empty rhetoric, like he didn't believe his own words.
05-24-2015 , 06:57 PM
I just can't get used to my neighbor's goats sounding like children. They sure make some mean milk.
05-24-2015 , 07:00 PM
Does anyone like how easy I demonstrated opting- out can be?

It's requires almost the simplest amount of posting possible.
05-24-2015 , 07:01 PM
We could run the millennium falcon on that kind of efficiency.
05-24-2015 , 07:02 PM
Well, except for the fact that it changed nothing about the poll.
05-24-2015 , 07:04 PM
It is part of the permanent record of information attached with the poll.
05-24-2015 , 07:16 PM
Oh, well as long as it's ON FILE someone will care...
05-24-2015 , 07:21 PM
It's so simple and easy I almost find it impossible to argue about.
