It's always the people who can't spell GRAMMAR who correct others about their grammar. One thing I've learned about LPSG is that there are many people from all cultural and language backgrounds than can make them seem out of the loop with your standards. But I understood what he had to say perfectly. Probably because rather than being bothered by grammatical errors, I was able to read the overall message of what he was saying.

Correcting someones grammar is usually the thing that bored, unintelligent and otherwise not very creative people do when they don't like what someone has to say and they have no other way to tell them.

I think it was rude and unnecessary for you to say that to him.

Damn! OF COURSE, I mispell "grammar" on the one post I make about it!

MR...You misread me. I got his overall message, as well. I just think that it always important to be as clear as you can be when writing. I didn't nit-pick his post and certainly didn't intend to insult him in any way. I was NOT being sarcastic or overly judgemental. And I never meant to be rude or imply that he failed to live up to my standards. If I found it difficult to read through his post, I am sure others did, as well. I never got the impression that he was unable to write clearly...I did feel, however, that he was a little lazy in structuring his post. It just occurred to me that his inattention to his writing might, in fact, be what caused his compliment to be misinterpreted.

I don't have a history of correcting errant punctuation or grammar and I am sorry that you have read me as a "bored, unintelligent and otherwise not very creative" person.

And, to Sgt. Rock: I sincerely apologize if what I said came off as rude or insulting.

God didn’t know I was going to cause so much trouble. First as to the grammar thing well call it a bit of rebellion – I mean my mother was a college English teacher at the University of Dayton. Trying growing up with a mom always correcting what you say or write. The other quite frankly I wasn’t aware that this site or what someone was writing would get proofed read and marked up so badly.

I guess if you’re this critical of what someone writes then I guess you would be critical too of any compliments that you would get solicited or unsolicited.

For me I am just a horny heterosexual male who uses this site for fun and release. I personally don’t care who comments on my photos or I wouldn’t have put them up in the first place and besides it part of the overall enjoyment here.

Being a long time connection of Mademoiselle Rouge who has been missed dearly here for a while – it was nice to see her stick up for me. I think she like me uses this site for fun I think some unfortunately take this site to seriously or they need to push away from the keyboard more often and get out of the house more often and socialize for real.

As to Willow78, first of all you’re in the beautiful land down under. I doubt anyone is going to hurt you in any way although there can be some truly negative narrow minded people here most don’t mind a compliment or a peek in the Chatroom.

This is supposed to be a site for those who like BIG dicks and those who have them. It is an adult site (even though some don’t act like it) that is for good clean fun. I for one get on in the chatroom and get off regularly and I don’t care if straight, bi or female watch me it just adds to my own enjoyment and solo performance. My face and my true identity is hidden as is most because of what I do for a living is in the public arena and I don’t need any unwanted problems or misunderstanding as to why I am here. I am not a child molester, I don’t beat up gays nor do I hit women. My real sex life although great is separate from what goes on here as it most of the members. I am here to laugh and jack off nothing more nothing less. In the entire time that I have been on the site I have only met two members (both female) and one was a bit psycho and the other was married but was clear as to what she wanted.

This is the internet one should maintain some caution as to contacts.

On a separate note I will work harder on my grammar and spelling in the future – LOL.

Sarge... only one thing I really noticed in your post that made me wonder about the other poster. You compliment NEW pix. Now... why would anyone put up pictures here, unless they wanted to receive compliments? Certainly not to get criticism.....

So that makes me want to totally agree with MR and your therapist friend. If you don't want anyone complimenting your pictures...don't put them up... right??

Secondly... honey... you can make any comments you want on my pictures. I just take them as I get them, and accept them, even the criticisms (even when people might suggest I change my album covers, and such).... I take things in stride here...

Love me... hate me... I don't really care, but most people are really pretty nice about leaving compliments... and I kinda like really creative ones...ya know, where you get to use your imagination?)

You have always ROCKED in my book, good sarge...

Hey! The only one who got proof-read and marked up was me!!! And rightfully so, I might add. OK...I get it. I started it. I accept your criticism humbly.

And for the record, I do get outside every once and awhile...to buy milk or chocolate chip cookies, ya know.

Your complements would make me roll on the floor dying of side pains for about an hour than when I get up in the morning as I drive I will be smiling almost laughing to myself as I think of what i read the night before that you had written.

It's your avatar or pics and the fact that you are one of the wittiest (sp) of people I know. of course the "Far Side" by Larson is pretty close that makes me smile. thank you

Now this is a complement!!!!:biggrin1:

Aw, shucks! :redface: Thank you! :smile:

All this talk about grammar is making me sad - I got very upset when the Big Bad Wolf ate her.....:tongue: :biggrin1: :smile: :biggrin1: :tongue:

I am sure he was referring to me proof-reading his writing on this site...but I seem to have been wrong before...so who knows?
