Please ... not another lecture on grammar ... I know decent grammar ... I just choose not to labor over it in the wee hours after I’ve been up all night! If you want to criticize my ideas, fine ... I’m sure a ‘brilliant pedant’ like you can glean my meaning regardless of my disdain of worrying about grammar. Please do me a huge favor and do not EVER respond to me again ... I don’t have time for trivial people ... if you see a post from me just move on.
Galtman, you seem to think that your wishes are the only ones that should matter - anywhere, any time, anyway.
Get over yourself. You are a new guest on this site, and have already commenced attacking individuals who sought to point out that what you wrote clearly attacked the author (and not subject) of the article. The fact that you find such gentle (and it WAS gentle) correction so damaging (apparently) to your psyche tells me you will not be on this site long - you can’t stomach the rigor of thought required to keep up with many Freepers.
So, no please feel free to tell me to ignore your unsage words in the future - as I wish you bon voyage to a site that allows you to control who communicates with you. Have you thought of blogging, with the comments turned off?
“I know decent grammar ... I just choose not to labor over it in...”
You choose to let the reader do the labor of trying to make sense of what you’re saying.
But then you do the labor of ridiculing them when they guess wrongly.
We are trying to get through the remarks on this wonderful Steyn piece and have to read your abusive monologue, when all you had to do was put in the “Labor” of thinking “brando’ instead of ‘he’.
And there are so many, in life, who do what you did, here. And wonder why no one pays any attention to them.
