People on your case

[der_kluge]

What really give me on my nerves is when jealous boyfriends are a big nuisance in chatroom! I remember a long time ago, I went to a chatroom called Pojo.com I talk to a girl a little bit and we become friends. After a while ago. Her bone-headed boyfriend starts to insulted to me and told me to stay away from her! I just told that bone-head. "Look, I don't date peole in chatroom. I'm here to talked to people and make friends. I really don't even care if you're her boyfriend! And beside she doesn't like me in a romantic way either!" I mean come on, Why in the world would I be interested with a girl that I never seen her face before? That just a load of crud! It's a free country I could talk whoever I want!

In the hopes that someone can respond to Bartmanhomer's original quandry, I'll try to rewrite his post so people can understand it.

What really gets on my nerves is when jealous boyfriends annoy me in chatrooms! One time, I was talking to a girl in a chatroom called http://www.pojo.com and we became friends. Shortly thereafter, her bone-headed boyfriend starts to insult me and told me that he wanted me to stay away from her. I responded by saying that I don't date people I chat with in a chatroom; I just wanted to talk to people and maybe make some friends. I told him that I didn't care if he was her boyfriend, and that she didn't view me as a romantic interest, anyway. I continued by indicating that I couldn't be interested romantically in a girl that I'd never seen. Finally, I told him that it was a free country, and that I could chat with whomever I wanted.

Hehe, okay, so I don't spell that word very often. Besides that, I'm generally fairly careful of my writing. And there's a big difference in correcting a single word and saying, 'your English sucks.' I've seen worse though. One person apparently doesn't believe in punctuation, capitalized letters at the beginning of sentences, etc. It's pretty atrocious and difficult to read. Although admittedly, having horrible grammer makes it difficult to read too...

We're not here to bash anyone. Even over grammatical mistakes. Not all are perfect with the English language.

And bashing other posters will get this thread reported. 'Nuff said.

Thank you, At least somebody don't have a problem about it!

All of that aside, you still haven't answered why people are getting on your case all the time or how said activity actually manifests itself.

 

[Bartmanhomer]

People bothering me, cursing in front of my face! People acting like retarded idiots! That how people are!

 

[Viking Bastard]

So if they'd, say, curse from the sides at you, would that be ok?

I think I'll leave this one alone.

Step away from the thread with your hands up.

Nope. I don't.

I've seen worse.

I have a friend who I chat with via IM and when he's on his pain meds, sometimes conversation with him can be, for example, "I groggie". With lots of grammatical mistakes and horrid spelling. That's because he can't concentrate fully on it due to the medication he's taking.

So, people, it's hard to tell what someone has going on when they post... And I've seen horrid grammar from fellow Americans who should know better. There's lots of "foreigners" (those who's native language isn't English) who can spell better. Can use better grammar. We should be ashamed of how crappy our English grammar is if non-native speakers can do it better than we can! :\
