You did everything right in that post. Correct capitalization even.

It is my blasted droid, forcing caps upon me. Tyrant phone!
You people are the absolute fucking greatest. That is all!

From what I remember of my Japanese, there were no capital letters, and there were also no spaces between words.
Lobstergirl wrote: "There is also another possibility in the noncapitalization: people attempting to appear dumber than they are. I think some people think that if they are 100% grammatically and punctuationally and ..."There's another possibility. Maybe the poster just wants to call attention to himself, as this one has. Look at all the posts. If he's hungry for attention, then he's certainly been well fed.

Like that Mohawk haircut.
It's so entertaining to watch a newbie say something that offends someone and the subsequent blanket party. Most don't stick around, but mark did (so far). Congratulations.
BunWat wrote: "Mark is saying that the discussion is going around and around in circles. Clearly he's trying not to respond aggressively to Scout's transparent attempt to start the fight back up again."Ahh. I thought he was saying that the previous poster's comment applied to them as much as (or more than) to him. Just like my "pot :: kettle" post.
Barb! It was you in the Liz Taylor thread... :) We've since hugged and made up, people's. I'm not much of a fan of "simmer down" when it's directed at me, most especially when I probably really do need to simmer down.Then later it was Phil. I suspect Phil posted it purposefully, though, just to get me riled up.
Good job, Phil! Way to make me threaten your kneecaps!!! :)
Both interpretations of circling arrows are correct. Thanks Cyril! Don't be pissed off Cherie. Sigh. I can do nothing right. Sad Clown-Face!

Yes, but that happens in lots of places. I'm sure I've done it myself, mentally at least, in other groups. Also, it is not the first time this has happened to me, and after calming down, I can usually take it. I remember when I first joined Horror Aficionados, there was a brutal triple tag-team on me because I said Richard Laymon wrote like a child molester, or words to that affect. That was the worst. But now I am friends with those former tormentors. Well, two of them at least.

We like it here when people accuse writers of writing like child molesters, so you've got that going for you.
It is the phone. Wretched, controlling phone. Working against all my lifelong goals!

LG is correct in post 733. :)Scout is high in post 750. We never say "hey look, no caps." you guys do. I think you're jealous. Just say no to SHIFT
The image in 751 is rotating the wrong way! Clockwise. Always clockwise.
no buts! going back in time. not moving forward. returning to sender. arrow back!

When I first joined this group, I believe that there was something in the group description about Standard English being preferred when posting. Maybe not.
A place to chat about anything that emerges. We are a friendly bunch who have mostly been hanging about the ficus plant for a few years now. We're pretty relaxed, and our attitudes mostly are mild. If a couple hours pass between posts, hey, we're probably busy.
Make friends. Be authentic. Get mad. Laugh. Knock yourself out. Please don't act like this is a tupperware party for assholes.
perhaps the group description should be updated!
when i saw that mark had a EE CUMMINGS infatuation i was disappointed. i thought he was just lazy like me
Nobody can be as lazy and cool at the same time as you. Though I'd appreciate it if you at least used punctuation.
janine wrote: "Nobody can be as lazy and cool at the same time as you."True statement. Dutch truth-speaken.
sun sign Virgo means i don't really get the concept of laziness. but chinese zodiac sign Dog means i can just laze around thinking various doggy thoughts, and that counts as a serious activity.
i am seriously contemplating typing capitalization correct sentences on goodreads.
