my advice to you.........

kill yourself

it will help us all trust me..


The texting linguo you like to use was made specifically for phone use to take less time to make each text message. The computer takes less time to type, so there is no need for time saving contractions and abbreviations. It's not that people aren't familiar with txting language, it just seems rather redundant to constantly have to read statements such as "r u slfish 2 value ur life over ne1 else?" or something of the sort. Can you imagine trying to read a 3 paragraph post in this language? A 2 sentence text, I can live with, but that sort of text just makes an in depth philosophical discussion difficult.

By typing normal, I don't feel smarter, I feel like I'm typing on a goddam computer. Deal with it. Save the texting for the goddam phone. Not everything needs to be simplified to the point where it's difficult to understand. You want to keep using that sort of style, find a philosophy forum sponsered by verizon. When you come back and you haven't found one, then just shut up and learn to type like a normal person.

Don't worry, she can't here you anymore, Paul has catapulted her into oblivion. Now she is doomed to text messaging from accross the Styx, but she can never get the letters to come out right and she is compelled to write the same message over and over again, correcting the typos, but it never become legible nonetheless...

Paul is a cruel cruel deity.

I don't think he is a diety nor cruel. I think you have a slightly pessimistic view of the outcome, perhaps your crystal ball is broken...

He giveth and he taketh away, he is cruel and mercyful. Nahh, my crystal ball is intact, it is horrible on the other side, especially for the illiterates. Paul has it in for them you see.

Simple Cynicism. I don't understand your words, if you write in text lingo perhaps I'll understand you better.

If Paul were a deity, he'd be doing nothing about the idiots and letting us figure out how to deal with them. Paul's more of a glorified garbage man in the best sense of the term.

This is a good point with some odd points scattered in between. What I take from it is an encouragement to be mindful of beginners. But I do believe her blatant rudeness and telling others to kill themselves is worthy of a little reprimand. The shame, if she feels any or even reads this stuff, might do her some good.


About blatant rudeness, would you consider calling someone's post garbage time and again an example of blatant rudeness?

Sure, to be bluntly honest is usually rude. There's a difference between being rude as a matter of habitual directness and desire to cut to the point (which a large percentage of us here are) and actually trying to hurt someone with words, and more difference between trying to be hurtful and telling people to kill themselves. Then there's an infinite difference between making a post which has a point but is rude, versus just flaming or trolling.

In the case of a thread like this, of course, the whole topic was complete flaming so the rules are off and the best bet is to have a little fun with it.
