Subject: What the hell is going on around here...

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

What is it with this imperialistic idea that we have to enlighten the folks that post in New Mombasa on how post "correctly" or "intelligently". It's not that hard of a concept to grasp that you each may have two different ideas of what the "correct" or "intelligent" are. While you think of a topic as stupid, they may think of it as a joke. Don't tell people how to post. That's like telling them how they need to write or talk or look. The forums are a place for people to express opinions. How can we do that if all people do is look at it as unintelligent? I used to be a huge grammar freak. I still am. But I learned that other people have a right to type however they want to type. I have no right to tell them that they are wrong for typing that way. I don't see how you can honestly think that what you're doing is right.

I kinda use it as a generic thing, referring to stuid people in general, because it used to be pretty bad, you gotta admit. Now I like to view it as kind of a stupid and kinda funny traditional rivalry, like between siblings or schools.

im so sick and tired of people who expect perfection from everyone on these forums. this is just a cool place to hang out. it should not become a freaking boarding school where we all talk, walk, think, and dress alike. there are some exeptions, like racism and political flame wars, but we should all be able to express ourselves (to a safe extent) on these forums. our language/typing style should have no bearing on our mental status either.

heh yea i kinda learned that the hard way a few weeks back. I'm not sure if anyone remembers it at all but yea i was kinda part of it and when a Mod kinda warned us about stuff and set us straight. So now i just dont understand why this has to keep going on and how it seemed to have been brought up all of a sudden.

What? I thought we were better... I mean, we make 17 threads a day on cartoons, so of course we are superior...
