One Word to Describe the New Enterprise...

Status
Not open for further replies.
Correcting ones spelling on a Message board which is a place where it is akin to a bar or a lounge is quite anal. I don't bother with my spelling on here because I see it as the same as talking to you as long as the word sounds are correct and as long as you get the jist of what I'm saying how it spelled shouldn't matter. Because you can't see how someone is spelling something when they are talking to you...

AND IF THIS IS SHOUTING.. This is talking. I'm not going to waste spelling on people when the thing isn't getting published, like ads for my Karaoke show do. That's when I concentrate on spelling...
Hmmmm... this sounds like the argument of a fifteen year-old.

So let me get this straight: You have the unmitigated gall to attack this thread (and in effect, attack me) using sarcasm and when I do the same to you, you suggest that we're not worthy of your consideration of something as basic as proofreading?

Here's what I suggest: when you're acting like an ass to begin with, why not mitigate that perception by at least bothering to use a browser-based spell-checker? They're free and readily available.

Your initial post implies that you think that you're better than the rest of us and your subsequent post simply confirms that implication. We're not worthy of the simple effort on your part to attempt to string together a sentence coherently? What the Hell is that? :scream:

When you don't bother to check even one sentence it shows not just a disrespect for others on the board, it also puts into question your abilities, and dare I say it, your intelligence (and I'm not referring to you specifically, I'm referring to posters in general).

My comment to you was meant to jokingly knock you off your high horse (hence, the emoticon and the comment in parentheses) as you made it very clear that you think that you're above this whole discussion and anyone involved in it and you just had to share that with everyone.

But that, apparently, wasn't enough. You couldn't leave it at that. You'd rather get into a pissing match with me instead of just laughing it off and saying, "Touché, you got me with that one!"

Seriously, you need to get over yourself, and if a BBS in your world is akin to social interaction with other human beings, you need get out of the house more.

Now, can we call a truce and agree to play nice? :)

A high horse is coming in starting a thread when there are six million opinion threads about the same damn thing. Oh but yours is different because we have to come up with one word. Excuse me Mr. Freud for thinking that especially when you blatantly started the thread in a derogatory manor to begin with. Then someone states their opinion using a little sarcasm and you have to come off like a school teacher. I'm 35 years old and I'm a very successful KJ/DJ. I pointed out that I feel a message board falls under conversational proclivities and isn't something that needs to be treated by ANYBODY, not just me, as a type of writing format that will win ANYONE, not just me a Pulitzer for anyone's stunning op/ed piece on why Kirk exited the turbolift on deck 43 when engineering is clearly on deck 19....

My browser the latest version of Firefox lets me know when I spelled shit wrong with a little red line, but seeing as I'm typing this as a lesuire activity and not trying to make a living off it I'm a little looser with my spelling. Shunn me for it if you want, it doesn't make me look like an ass it only makes you look worse because correcting someone is a cheap shot. OOH I made a sarcastic comment in your thread so you're going to come off as an ass hat. I said the thread was unnecessary(Spelled correctly this time) Because frankly it is, it's just stirring pots. We have a do you like the Enterprise thread, We have the picture thread both of which do the job of this thread, alot better. Also I never asked you to like me anyway.

As for me thinking I'm above anyone else in this discussion if that were true I wouldn't engage in the intelligent debates I have in other threads in this board with other users. This thread limits the thoughts to one word and stiffles debate I don't see it's purpose. If you're doing it for mindless fun continue, Just because I said it was Unnecessary in a joking manner a one off comment had you left it alone and not decided to :"Knock me off my high horse (which isn't your job any frelling way)": It probably would have been the only time you heard from me. (Oh hadn't thought of that before you sunk the claws in did you?) So that makes me the bad guy how? You came off as the true snob, because you felt I needed to be taken down a peg. You are not King Arthur, there was no need for your crusade.
DISQUALIFICATION!!! 1 WORD ONLY! :p

(King Arthur had nothing to do with the Crusades BTW and the last time I checked, he was mythical/fictional).

Here are some examples of one word descriptions of the new ship:

lonely

reclusive

douche-baggish (hyphenated so it counts)

hermit-like

uneducated

humorless

Firefoxy (grrrr...)

Qonos, don't feel too badly. He has done the same to me. I have learned not to post in any thread he starts. I was also singled out (because I'm gay) for responding to his sexual post with a witty remark. I wouldn't be posting here, except that I felt the need to encourage you.
Having said that, I do feel the need to use proper English when I post. It does present your argument better, IMO.

OT: Kick-ass!
