Where did I say YOU were going after her?Quote:
I wasn't "going after" the OP
I know your first post was a joke, I found it funny myself but I think you knew that it wasn't going to be percieved as a joke. Jokes can be hurtful too...

I just re-read your post...you did say 'going after'...you might not have meant me, specifically. But, that was what I was responding to.
Sure, jokes can be hurtful. The truth can be hurtful. Life hurts. But, some of these posters are totally going WAY beyond what there was. I meant it as a joke. How others take it isn't really my concern. I can't control that. It isn't like I said, "wow, you are some really stupid person- ha ha, isn't that funny". The plain truth is- I meant it as a joke. As a play on the words of the thread, "is this correct or is incorrect...." . There was no sinister plot. For others to imagine there was makes me wonder what THEY really think, and are too timid to say. I have to imagine that these same posters actually live life, outside their homes, not in front of a computer, and interact with people. Surely, they have met others that don't carbon copy their view of life????
I know I said "going after", it just wasn't directed to you. All I wanted to know was why people were going after her and not the others that spell like crap.Quote:

Like they have some personal issue here....and, I find it kind of funny.

I agree that it has been blown out of proportion.
Oh. I see. I don't know why this is an issue with this poster, but, not others. I do think we are dumbing down across the world....
I am going to close this thread, as the grammar "joke"/comments/dyslexia/battle have totally taken over the thread's original purpose. I believe her original question has been answered in any case.
