Help[Opinions] Re: Eva!
in reply to a message by 28 Days and Counting
You didn't get "reemed out." There's a difference between one sentence on an issue such as what Chrisell asked here and what I asked of you and a tirade. I don't see why people can't take constructive criticism without getting all defensive and annoying. Seriously, if you guys don't like our standards, do us all a favor and just go elsewhere.

punctuation, etc...
I don't think we get defensive so much as just not exact;y understanding the rule...I mean, point taken, and if its that big of a deal, I will definitely be aware of my grammar, punctuatuin, caps, etc...
Its just that I can't understand why it bothers people to read 3 or 4 exclamation points to denote lots of excitement versus one to show *some* excitement...I will abide by your rules, it just (sorry) seems a little petty to me to mind if typing is in caps or not, or if there is "ovreuse" of punctuation...I can't exactly see why that criticism is constructive...it seems a little silly to me, and for people who do not use the internet very much, it is both somethign that we are basically unaware of and also something that seems like a senseless rule. SO...
On behalf of all of us who have used abusive or excessive punctuation, improper grammar, the word "ass," blatant and/or accidental misspelling, and all other typing offenses:
We are truly sorry. And from here on we will be careful not to make typos or Hit the 1 key ande shift at the same time whilst holding them down in order to create a string of redundant exclamation points...
Sincerely and very truly yours,
