In Reply to: My point was, and still is, that those who post simply to correct spelling are not worth the disk space they consume... posted by Cassman on July 15, 2000 at 22:11:53:
> I'm sorry you got so defensive about this topic that you spent so much of your spellcheck time to write your essay on what you've decided was supposed to, apparenty, shatter my word, and sense of self, but all I can say is I'm sorry for you...
Don't be sorry for me. Spend your time whimpering at a mirror. First of all, I don't use a spellchecker. Second of all, do a forum search to see exactly how much time I've spent doing nothing but correcting people's spelling... you'll find that the post under Sacer was one of the first. I thought it might be funny, given the weighty subject material, to do something like that. And you decided to freak out. That makes you an oversensitive fuck who should spend his time in a box. By the way, it's "apparently."
> I'm sorry you decided to search my every entry for some snippet to try to hurt me while proving your point.
I spent five minutes because you pissed me off. You're not worth spending any real effort.
> I'm sorry tht you feel that everyone that does not conform to your viewpoint are so far beneath you.
Did I say that? Did I even come remotely close to saying that? Since when does bitching at me for correcting a spelling error constitute "not conforming to my viewpoint?" Stop trying to use big words like "conforming." They only confuse your point. What IS your point, exactly, anyway?
> I'm sorry I even bothered to explain why people seem to hate posters who can only reply with a spelling error. No retort, no alternate viewpoint to the subject at hand, not even a well worded intelligent flame (excluding the above short story of course).
You never did explain that. You just bitched. And bitched, and bitched, and called me an ass. Since when do "people" hate posters who give spelling corrections? I'll admit, it's a childish thing to do, but I was just trying to be funny, until you took it personally for some reason. It's not people who hate posts like mine, it's you.
> I'm sorry, finally, that I continue to bother responding to your useless comments.
So stop. You're really not helping your case.
> ps If the above work had actually been constructive in any way, to me or anyone else (other than therapy of some sort for you), I would have been very impressed. Truly. Oh Well, maybe next time.
Yes. I strive to impress you. Hopefully, my next post will do so so that I may die a happy man.
