I think he is reading this or at least he was. But he's diappointed. He was looking for unanimous begging/pity/apologies and too many people are telling him to grow up instead. So, i'm guessing this will be the last thread he reads.

... so, rather than waste a perfectly good thread, who wants to talk about World of Warcraft?

We get a turn based World of WarCrack, and I'll finally join.

Sorry to hear that you did not find this site agreeable. Well it can't be to everyone's tastes. But I have to say that this is probably the most polite place that I visit. I would hope you would continue to lurk here give us a second chance. But we won't hold it against you, sorry to hear someone tried help you out at the spelling bee, lol no seriously I am always getting corrected about something, since I have been on this site I am convinced that I don't even know how to play DnD the right way.

Well I hope you come back, but as for me I call this place my third home.

...or they're sick of trying to decipher the total crap that gets spewed by the dummies who couldn't be bothered to attend English class.

Then I'll reverse the suggestion that has been made, and suggest that they put people who make too many mistakes for their tastes on their Ignore list. Especially those who make a post with no other content but the corrections.

I, for one, have attended my English classes, have a decent grasp of the spelling and grammar of this second language, and find it annoying (Yeah, I know, I could put them on -my- Ignore list).

OK KaosDevice, it is time for you to take the spotted bunny test. (By the way, this is not meant to be condescending or sourcastic ... feel free to correct my spelling on both... this is just meant to make a point in a fun way).

Here we go. Ready? Shake you left hand real fast. Go ahead. Do it. Now shake your right hand real fast? OK. Now, shake both hands real fast. Did you pass? (scroll down)

Did you turn into a spotted bunny yet?

OK, you either played along and shook your hands or you just read the post wondering if I'm really crazy and also wondering if there is a point to all of this. My point: you decided what this post means to you and what action to take. This proves you are in control of you and what things mean to you. So use that power more frequently and don't give other people permission to ruin your fun on these boards with mere spelling corrections. We would much rather have you stick around for a while and enjoy the friendly (and sometimes eccentric) personalities and interesting discussions. The nice thing is that you get to decide; you have that power

KaosDevice, I'm sorry I corrected your spelling in the other thread. I certainly didn't mean to offend or annoy you. I do it to others, but I certainly don't consider myself a spelling nazi. Although, Crothians butchery of "brutal" gave me indigestion. :lol:

This site is a popularity contest. People aren't going to automatically think you're awesome with just 59 posts to your name. These things take time. And I would echo what others say regarding the message boards. Even with all its nuances, ENworld generally is one of the friendliest d20 message boards around, and it's certainly got plenty of activity to keep me coming back for more.

If you believe that someone correcting spelling on a message board is petty, isn't leaving said message board for that reason equally as petty?

Excellent, That's what I was going for.

There are people on all major forums that are pretty much only there to "smack people down". These are generally the shut-ins that live with mom at age 45 and havent had a steady job since birth. You should feel sorry for them and not let them affect you at all. Some others may be perfectly well adjusted people in real life, but they feel the need to be complete jackasses online either because they can or because there are no repurcussions to them (I might pound on someone a little bit if they said the same things to my face, but am generally unaffected by it here). Anyhow, I hope you stick around, some of us are only jerktrains when its called for.
