Quote:see ya. now you want to shift subjects when I point out you are singling me out and was being rude. Well dont worry, I wont cross ya path again as long as you stay out of my path. Dont go around nit picking my posts and leave everyone else's alone and not expect me to call you out on it.Chuckle.
Obviously you know everything.
You've taken a mild comment and run with it like a petulant preteen child. My comment was the equivalent of "watch your step, there's traffic coming", Your response was "I'm calling the cops because you're harassing me!"
Have fun in your world.
Ciao.
I knew he was going to do that. Like I aint going to notice he never corrected many people but me. "Help" like that is not help I want or need. -
s/he been around since the 70s. But I guess some people aint get it. Well at least I know the reason for the assumption there. Wish someone would assume I'm a female for once instead of it's always he he he he he he he he he. I mean it wouldnt hurt to throw in a she everynow and then. but it's no big deal. I guess assumptions are made to be wrong anyways.

Quote:I met plenty. When you make an opening statement like that, that is being grammar nazi or grammar nazi like behavior. And when you single me out like that, that is being a grammar nazi. Have you corrected anyone elses posts today? Or any of three I mentioned? I dont see your name there with the comment you gave me. Either be fair to everyone or dont do it at all I prefer or else I'm not just go "Oh thanks for going out your way to be nit picky and point out my mistakes while ignoring everyone else's. Thank u thank u thank u." No I'm not that one. I'm call it like I see it. You picking me out, being slightly rude grammazr nazi and I will respond accordingly. If that wasnt your intentions, then try to put it in a better way next time. And sorry for jumping down ya throat if that was not your true intentions. But online intentions are hard to read sometimes so I see lettering and what I get from those arrangement of letters.I would like to point out one more thing. What I've mentioned in my original post is a far, far, far cry from being a grammar nazi. It maybe in your mind that I am, but I've met many of them. Believe me, I don't count as one in the least. While you believe that I was one, or was being one, then you're in for a very, very rude awakening when you finally meet one.
for example in "Re: Please change Penny Yin's costume." there are mispellings and that person posted right above you yet, you made no mention of their mistakes. Or the person below you, they have grammar mistake, and yet again you are silent about it. -
Quote:That was a sig from way back in 2006. Havent updated and was y first time learnign about sigs. And manay female players that actually identified thems as such on this forum also list their in game toons in their sig. But as far persona goes. Not sure what most females do. Submit to any disrespect, abuse, etc that come their way? Nope. Wouldnt put up with from my husband and sure as hell aint going to put up with it on here. The name from the first VG I made, around the time of this forum account creation.As I said, it's a quirk of language. We don't talk about other people with genderless terms so it doesn't come naturally when we don't know. Looking at your publicly viewable account information (forum name, signature, etc.) I originally assumed you were male. "Evil Legacy" doesn't exactly scream femininity, and listing your high level characters is generally an achievement related thing common among males. Your online persona suggests that you're male.
Quote:I'm afraid the burden of understandability lies with the speaker, or in this case author, of the ideas being verbalized. You can't expect someone to take the time to read your writings if you won't take the time to make them easily readable. "Then that post wasn't meant for them" is a cheap cop-out and an excuse. You're capable of better than that. There was insight and thoughtfulness in your original post that was completely missed because people have a hard time reading a wall of text. .
Quote:I have been frequenting these boards for a long time, though I seldom post, and I have seen lots of posts like yours that get criticized just like yours was. You aren't being singled out, trust me. Most of those other people have learned to post better, or have been ignored by pretty much everyone. -
Quote:s/he. While not used in a actual speaking sense it is generally accepted neutral term in writing.English doesn't have a good gender-neutral term ("they" tends to create awkward-sounding sentences, and can be ambiguous since it sounds plural; constructs like "zir" are not widespread in general use and tend to just cause confusion). A majority, IMX, of MMO players are male, or at least do not wish to be recognized as female since it completely doesn't matter and tends to attract unwanted attention, so assuming that any given player is male unless they say otherwise is usually a pretty good assumption.
Male privilege and etc surely plays a part too, but that's even further from the topic than the formatting thing
Well I'm not the type to hide my gender based off some other people's actions. Harassment is harassment whether it's male to female, male to male, female to male, or female to female. It's still harassment like this one poster is going a little bit beyond harassment and into stalkerish. One of those people that follow me from post to post with no helpful information to share just to cause and or add to the trouble. If want to look for yourself. Look at my past posts with replies you will see the most common person on there is that one person basically saying the same stuff in every post. -

Quote:nope I seen similar question for you and I aint falling into that trap again. That has nothing to do with my experience. And then when I didnt answer you just made up a level. You aint stayed on topic. I dont think level was even mentioned in the post. I dont need anymore "oh that's impossible" "can you post proof" from you. I know how this goes. I'ma say a level that I am actually fighting at and you going to poke fun at it and say it's impossible. If someone else would of asked I would of just said I'll PM them. But you hell naw. You aint getting me with the same trap. change tactics and maybe it will work then.Then you must have me on ignore because my first post in this thread was a direct question regarding the parameters of your experience in your comparison. The question you responded to with a kick rocks. I didn't mention your grammar at all. Actually, I believe I have stayed on topic more than you have in this thread.
And you aint still kick rocks. Well, I wouldnt advise you to keep following me from post to post just to harass or then I think that would be considered stalker like behavior. -
Quote:Yea sorry about that part. you did say so.Using a quote block was the most convenient method. I did explicitly say that it was edited and not your original words, though it was your original thought (as best as I was able to decipher it).
Quote:It's a quirk of language. In cases where the gender of the subject is unknown, pronouns default to the masculine form. Nothing to do with sexism. How are we supposed to know you are female?
Quote:I bolded the part that was relevant. You make the point quite well: Nobody is talking about what you said because how you said it got in the way. This isn't English class, and you aren't being paid for what you write here, but the rules of language don't change based on the venue or the medium. In order to be understood, you have to be as clear as possible, especially on the internet. .
Quote:This is something I see a lot, and the problem is almost always either that what the original poster wrote was unclear and led to a spurious discussion on a tangentially related point, or that what the original poster wrote was just fine, but the readers each added their own mental tone of voice to the words. As I'm sure you know, saying the same words in different ways (varying emphasis, inflection, etc.) can carry completely different meanings. -
Quote:it's not my style to be a grammar/spelling nazi because I dont like it being done to me so I aint going to do it to someone else for the hell of it. I just expect the same respect. I dont do it to them so dont do it to me. Or at least do it to everyone instead of choosing to single out one person or few.Never claimed to be perfect. In fact, if you read my original reply I mentioned that I have to chase after my own bad spelling. I'll never catch them all, even though I try. I have plenty of issues with my own grammar, which is why I was trying to be helpful. You were presenting something that wasn't easy to read.
Should someone find spelling or punctuation errors and point them out to me, I'd fix them. Plenty of people have done so in the past. I always cringe when I find them on my own. I've also gone back and added addition posts in attempts to clarify my ideas better. What I've written doesn't always translate from my thoughts to the page.
If you find issues, or lack of clarity with any of the thing I've posted, please let me know. Maybe with your diligence I'll fix them all. -
Quote:Invul is nice on scrapper. You should be able to survive most things and have no troubles at all or very rarely against maybe a select few mobs.I don't see many people play invulnerability, but I have been messing with some builds and I am beginning to wonder if invulnerability is the best secondary for scrappers.
Since we can get defense bonuses from IO sets and and invulnerability has a couple of defensive powers it seems easy to build for defense.
I built a Katana / Invulnerability character with soft capped S/L and can get soft capped melee with one DA. I also have 72.9 S/L resistance.
All other position defenses are in the mid-20s with resistances in the mid-20s or higher as well.
What am I missing? -
Quote:Seen worse dressed heroines.There's some serious dissonance going when I see the little girl whose dad I used to rescue in impractically heeled thigh-highs and a collar. I realize that in real life, this happens. In the game, it's just weird.
(I also think parts of her costume are plain ugly -- or well, disproportionate and unmatching. The thing on her head needs to either be bigger and extend out of her hair, or smaller and with less metal eyebrow going on. I like the action-girl-jacket look but it doesn't really connect with the more silver age-y tights and hose on her legs. Dazzler is not the model for a *successful* heroine costume.) -
Quote:Well, I see what you saying. Although I havent seen anyone ask anything or anything with a question mark. It came off as more like snooty snide remarks. If they would of formed the question in the first place maybe it would of went easier. Guess it was miscommunication. Wish people would be more polite about it instead of coming off as jerks. Because when that happens, of course I'ma go on defense mode. You attack I'll attack. If I say went to your thread with nothing about the content of the thread and said that "You must be an idiot or the likes" then some people would go on the defensive too. Maybethey do maybe they dont I dont know just guessing but what I do know is that I do. I dont like being attacked, even by grammar nazis especially and then it dont help when they try to turn it around and say "Oh that's what I get for helping." If they would of approached the subject much better then they gte better reaction. If they come in kicking doors in I'ma reply with a kick.It isn't. I see no reason to turn this into a confrontation at all. I happen to agree with Rangle, but that doesn't make him unassailable, nor does it make it OK to attack you.
Here is the beef: your first post is painful to read. Literally, physically painful. I used the phrase "headache-inducing" for a reason. I don't think it is unreasonable to ask that you press Enter a few times to avoid causing me physical pain. You are not obligated to do so, of course, just as I am not obligated to read your thread, but it is not impolite to ask.
You have the privilege to post whatever you want, within the forum rules. I'm not saying you can't, and neither is anyone else in the thread, as far as I can see. We are asking you to please go edit your post and press enter a few times to make the thing more readable and less painful. This isn't a right/wrong thing - you can refuse to change your post all you like. But that will severely limit the discussion you'll actually get (which is a shame, because a "powerset vs powerset" pros-and-cons discussion can be interesting, and is usually filled with good information for newer players that happen across it), as you can see by the way it's derailed this thread.
I'm not following you from thread to thread. Nor, I expect, is anyone else. The forums are just a relatively small community, and you'll tend to see the same names in threads all over the place.
I know you aint following me. But I can name more than a few that is and post the same type of post each time over and over regardless of the information questions, or even lack of questions.
But really if they are going to correct me, they should have history of correcting people not just choosing me and lack of history of mistakes of their own before becoming a critic of someone else work. Like I may have mentioned before, I hardly see anyone one else posting about someone else spelling or pointing it out but they sure have no problem when it comes to me huh.
I think a simple question in actual asking form would of deaden this whole situation but no questions just statements and demands critics on format. As you and others said presentation is everything. They didnt come in here with the presentation of being helpful at all. -
Quote:Maybe the intent was noble but the method was uncalled for. I can help a lady across the street but I'm sure if I drag her by her feet, although she will get across the street, she sure as hell wont get up and be like thanks. She probably either curse me out and or sue me. Same concept. It's not about the helping part it's about the method of going about it. Plus it's not that serious to have to point out everytime a mispell happens. I doubt anyone on this forum hasnt made a spelling mistake or there is no posts here that does not contain spelling mistakes. Yet, I dont see that Rangling person for example posting on all of their posts talking about spelling and grammar and such. In most cases I dont see much of anythign of the likes from anyone. But nooooo, I made a spelling mistake he makes sure to go out of the way to point it out. And I'm suppose to take that as symbol of help?I'd call it helpful. Someone comes along and notices you're doing something in a way that won't have the effect you might want and points out what you could do to improve your results: that's called helping.
Quote:Didn't he specifically say it was edited? It's not a blatant lie at that point. Or are you just looking to be offended. In which case, posting anything on the internet is not for you. -
Oh what you thought that I was going to act you are god incarnate and give you praise because you come in here grammar nazi like ony to point out the mistakes? Well then sorry to break it to you, you aint god. I've seen your posts and most of them contain mistakes. I dont go around nit pickign atr it but you have the audacity to come to my post and nitpick spelling. That's not elitist. I guess it was wrong word on my part. that is a hypocrite. Plain hypocrite.

Quote:and why is everyone method of presentation unassailable but I'm fair game?No one forced you to come here and read his reply.
Either read it or move on.
Why is your posting style and method of presentation unassailable, but everyone else is fair game?
Seem like no one is moving on from a post they didnt even write but you expect me to abandon my own thread? Oh so the rules dont apply to them but it sure as hell apply to me?
I dont go their posts bogarting it with sayings of "oh you mispelled that you missed that period, I cant read that, that idea sucks you're an idiot and etc." Maybe I should since they love doing it to me.
They wont move on then I aint moving on. apparently if they aint here for the content or be helpful, they must be here soley to attack me and I'm not the type to be backing down, done it once too many time it gotten no where. They still follow on every posts. So this time, I'm here and I aint going anywhere if they choose to stay. If it aint ending on this post it will continue to another post I make, and so on. So lets gets this mess laid out on the table, done with once and for all.
Seems people have beef. STATE THE FRACKING BEEF! Stop being pansy about it and tell me how you really feel and why it possess you to move from my thread to another my thread to another my thread bringing nonsense with you. What is it? What is it that you want from me? -
Quote:If it aint elitism then maybe they shouldnt use it as an opening line or the only line. Because when it's worded and or posted like that it comes off as very elite and nazi grammar like coming in bogart like talking about grammar and spelling.When your message is difficult to read, this limits your ability to convey your message, regardless of what the message is. And when you post something in a public discussion forum, it is generally assumed that you want other people to read and understand what you said. This isn't "your message isn't up to my standards" elitism, people are trying to help YOU convey the message you posted. As you can see from the almost total absence of discussion of the actual topic, this has indeed severely limited your ability to get your message across.
I have little doubt that your post was totally coherent in your head, but if pressing enter a few times to make the first post less headache-inducing is unreasonable to ask of you, attempting to extract meaning from it is definitely unreasonable to ask of me. -
yea problems with no one wantign to stck to content and here to be a grammar/spelling nazi, here to bother, here to flame, and here to get their daily dose of stalking me on every post.

Quote:Well it's discussion about the content or I rather have no response than the bullcrap. I yet to see one post about the actual content. But like I said before, if people cant read it, standard spacing for even most books, then it wasnt meant for them. To me it's not about how many people read it or about how many comments I can get. It's about the information is out there and that's where it ends if no one have anything to add to the actual content.Well, considering we have to make sense of what you're saying, those particular things there are a must.
The readability of a post relies on the poster. Not the reader. Granted, you can't anticipate people with poor reading comprehension or the blind (since you can't make braille), but you have to do the work to make sure your material is user friendly.
Now, if you weren't hoping to have any discussion at all, what's the point of posting it in the first place? If you're posting to inform, then presentation is everything. Because if your presentation chases readers away, then you didn't inform. -
Quote:you are talking out of ya butt. And you wonder why I didnt tell you what level I run at. What? So you can say "impossible"? Ha. You still here? For what purpose? To bother me some more. I'm starting to think you are stalking me. You are like on all my post with nothing much to add. Well I guess it wouldnt hurt none to give you fair warning. STop stalking me, ya freak. I have nothing for you.On SO's, and running at +0/1(going by what she runs on her scrappers here. I could be talking out my ***.) the sets are really well balanced and have similar survivability, while going about it in different ways.
I repeat, the devs got it right.
In other news, at that level, any of my tankers can do that without my shields even toggled on except mez shield. Even then, I am pretty sure my hp can take what the mobs give out till I can combine the inspirations into a break free.
In other other news, the sun is hot. -
Quote:First of all, I'm a she. Second of all, where i nthe post anywhere in the post does it says "I want your opinion or anyone elses"? Nowhere just in case you missed it. If people choose to opinionate on the subject sure by all means. But if they do so, they do so because they want to not because anyone forced them.Ah, turns out my text block was irrelevant then, thought he wanted other's opinions on which was better so I went through some of the pro's and con's, as well as some recommended melee pairings.
Putting off heightened senses so long seems odd, and toxic is actually a hole for /elec (except for when using power surge) but other than that can't really disagree with the content, but then again mostly opinion anyway.
Guess I can see why he didn't care if anyone responded.
Stop assuming I'm male for christ sakes. Are you sexists or something? -
Then it's best to say it in a non quotes format or else it's a blatent lie that I dont appreciate to say I quoted something and you edited it.

Quote:helpful? You call being helpful coming in to a thread soley to point out spelling mistakes and grammar helpful? You have a weird sense of being helpful. You aint added any extra information to the thread, no insight, nothing. Just opening with "You made some spelling and grammar mistakes and blah blah blah." Dont think anywhere in my post did I ask or say, "Please point out all grammar and spelling mistakes."I was trying to be helpful to the OP with my first response. See where that got me.
I do think it's telling that the OP has spent more time and effort getting into peoples faces, or telling them to buzz off, then it would have taken them to edit the original post. C'est la vie.
