Is this correct or incorrect

It was a joke. And, the irony is....somehow, in your world, you think YOUR comments somehow fly under the radar? You are three times more venomous in your attack on my comments than I was on the original poster. It was a joke. JOKE. What is the saying? Judge not lest you be judged? I always liked this one: It is the pot calling the kettle black.

I think that was a pretty lame and cruel joke. A polite "Please use better spelling and punctuation" would have been much easier to swallow.

.sarah- Lame and cruel? You must be joking yourself. Cruel? LOLOL...come on. I can appreciate you not having the same sense of humor as I might, and others too, seeing the comments after my post, but, to call it cruel? Might be a bit over the top there.

DD-As for the flying under the radar comment, I can see now why you missed the joke first time around. I am not sure you are reading things quite right. Seems you have no problem expressing YOUR thoughts on others comments, just as long as I keep mine to myself. Seems pretty fair, eh? LOL...pretty fair indeed. How do you manage that halo just so, please tell me. Oh, now I must go cry by myself to sleep...you have just been TOO harsh and unfair to me.

I wish people would stop using dyslexia as a crutch and excuse

I totally agree. However, people spell things wrong here all the time. All of the younger PT'ers have every second word spelt wrong. I am not sure why everyone is going after juju?

CD- I wasn't "going after" the OP. Despite the person's comment that I was hiding behind the term 'joke', I truly was JOKING. When I read the post, that WAS the first thing that came to my mind. The grammar. It was funny to me. It was a play on words, really. The excuse of dyslexia was kind of weak...and really, I think a slap in the face to anyone that does have it, and struggles to not be limited or labeled by it. To think that dsylexia causes someone to not capitolize (Vela- did I spell it right this time?) correctly is a little off.

I can't figure out why some of these people are all so upset about this. It seems a little overboard to me, really.

Where did I say YOU were going after her?

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????

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

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.

I agree that it has been blown out of proportion.
