[QUOTE="shadow, post: 1129814, member: 2182"] I seldom feel the need to get into arguments over messageboards. However for various reasons, which I will not discuss here, mythusmage's posts hit me on a very personal level. First and foremost, contrary to mythusmage's ramblings, I do, indeed, care about the quality of my writing. However, with various reports and papers I have to write, a post on an internet messageboard is very low on my priority list of things to worry about. Second, I want to know why mythusmage feels qualified to judge everyone's posts for correct grammar, stylistic elements, punctuation, and so forth. Of course, I also want to know why he feels the need to critique every one's posting. This is an internet messageboard, not a scholarly journal! Hell, even the worst post isn't half as bad as most of what is seen on a typical internet chat room. If mythusmage is really so concerned about proper writing then I would like to see him to give a complete sentence by sentence critique of my original post, which he so eloquently criticized. While he's playing the role of the English teacher, he should also critique everyone else's posts. (Perhaps Morris should appoint him as the official ENWorld language cop!) This is quite a personal attack. Now, not only my writing, but also my mental capacities are being criticized. Mythusmage is really taking this to a personal level! [/QUOTE]
