FAIR ENOUGH !

But no one else can edit ...the rest of us have to ... live with it !

I do not like the feeling that someone has the power to alter my written words .

However , I can cope.

That's the difference between his posts and yours.
You have an honest opinion, whether I agree with it or not.
Ekin is just ranting and being abusive, while at the same time claiming that he doesn't care.
Nonsense, self-contradictory and offensive.
He really needs to learn some manners.
looks whos talking psyduck what the truth offends you what are you so juvenile that you have to edit posts because you dont agree with me i could have said much worse and offending things, i use other forums and i do not bite my tongue as much i think your power to edit posts should be revoked because you are obbviously one of those crazily obsessed fans who thinks that witches and wizards are real and tries to summon their remote with spells now if edit this i will be less upset because this could be offensive ivf you are juvenile

Looks who's talking, psyduck.
Talking about what? This phrase implies that I am criticizing someone for doing something while doing the same thing myself. I don’t disagree with the implication here – I don’t even know what it is. This is what I mean when I use the word “nonsense.” You have nothing to say. It’s just noise.

W
hat, the truth offends you?
The subject of this thread was a group of people who have invented a form of Quidditch that is accessible to muggles. You said that some people have no lives. This is not, by any stretch of the imagine, a “TRUTH.” It is not even an opinion. It’s just a sneer.

W
hat, are you so juvenile
And this makes sense because ….?
Irrelevant. More nonsense. Name calling. You could have invented a new, nonsense word and it would have had the same effect.

that you have to edit posts because you don't agree with me?
First of all, I have to edit all of your posts anyway (if only for myself) because they are incoherent. They need not be. This place welcomes many people who speak other languages. Weak writing skills are understandable and acceptable when you make an honest effort to communicate. Trying to COVER UP the weak writing skills with deliberate mistakes doesn’t make you look better. It just makes it harder to understand what you’re saying. Or it would, if you had anything to say. After all that deciphering, the realization that you have nothing to communicate is especially annoying.

And anyway, I didn’t disagree with you. You’ll need to express an opinion before I can do that.

I
could have said much worse and offending things,
Of course. You have and will continue to do so. My question is: WHY DO YOU WANT TO?

I
use other forums and I do not bite my tongue as much
I think your power to edit posts should be revoked
Wait a minute – are you getting ready to express an actual opinion? Something along the lines of “power corrupts” or that I’m abusing my position?

because you are obviously one of those crazily obsessed fans who thinks that witches and wizards are real and
Nope. False alarm. No rational opinion here, just more nonsense.
My caretaker tools should be revoked because I (allegedly) believe crazy things? In what way does that make sense?

tries to summon their remote with spells.
All I get from this line is the sneer – you are trying to say something offensive, but it’s not working because I don’t know what the line means.

N
ow, if (you) edit this i will be less upset because this could (only?) be offensive if you are juvenile.
So, you are saying that my being juvenile makes it ok for me to edit your posts?
Or that editing your posts give you permission to call me nonsense names?
Or that your ability to call me names makes you feel better?

you said your person and that you were offended but im offended because you edited a post that is not going to hurt anyone(unless you have a serious problem) and are that obsessed with harry potter its fake its not real it will never be real see this is why i dont associate myself with crazily obsessed fans because they think whats happening in the story or movie is real i was reluctant to find a website without any people like that(or so i thought)
What, the truth offends you?
The subject of this thread was a group of people who have invented a form of Quidditch that is accessible to muggles. You said that some people have no lives. This is not, by any stretch of the imagine wow mr. im gonna correct everyones mistakes this makes real sense, a “TRUTH.” It is not even an opinion. It’s just a sneer.
they dont have lives why play quiditch a fake game that cant even be played properly if it was played properly ok but its not because broomsticks dont fly and the snitch is a person come on you could play basketball soccer(futball) football(american) baseball cricket rugby boxing or something but you play a ridiculously sad game and causes you to miss out on the world around you now if they play this once in a while ok but if its a main stake in their lives then its sad because of what theyll be missing out on
What, are you so juvenile
And this makes sense because ….?
Irrelevant. More nonsense. Name calling. You could have invented a new, nonsense word and it would have had the same effect.
wtf you dont know what juvenile is are that dumb
that you have to edit posts because you don't agree with me?

After all that deciphering, the realization that you have nothing to communicate is especially annoying.
stop bitching about my incoherent and intentional writing im not changing it and if i offended anyone with my language i apologize and i have had only 2 posts so far edited that i know of so dont say i edit all your posts dont lie tell the truth
And anyway, I didn’t disagree with you. You’ll need to express an opinion before I can do that.
i expressed an opinion i said that it was sad that have no lives and it may not have been those exact wods but that was jist of it
I
could have said much worse and offending things,
Of course. You have and will continue to do so. My question is: WHY DO YOU WANT TO?
what have i said besides my previous thing that i apologized for was offensive tell me and be serious not i jsty wanna be right show me 3 of my offensive posts
I use other forums and I do not bite my tongue as much
I think your power to edit posts should be revoked
and inthis instince i do a favor because i know some people dont want to hear or read rude language and i understand that so i dont use here because i will actually offend for a VALID reason
Wait a minute – are you getting ready to express an actual opinion? Something along the lines of “power corrupts” or that I’m abusing my position?
yea i am i have already sent a complaint to the webmaster and i have voiced my __________(use your imagination) opinion before i dont have 100 some posts because i say nothing with an opinion

because you are obviously one of those crazily obsessed fans who thinks that witches and wizards are real and
Nope. False alarm. No rational opinion here, just more nonsense.
My caretaker tools should be revoked because I (allegedly) believe crazy things? In what way does that make sense?
no because you used your powwer to change what a person said not to delete because it was offenive i didnt swear, i didnt make a racist or sexistr remark but i was edited because of my sneering what you cant handle someone teasing

their are people who try to summon their remote with spells.
All I get from this line is the sneer – you are trying to say something offensive, but it’s not working because I don’t know what the line means.
read about the crazily obsessed fans who try to do magic your just being ignorant and you dont get the line what you cant understand english just because there arent any punctuations and capitlizations
Now, if (you) edit this i will be less upset because this could (only?) be offensive if you are juvenile.
So, you are saying that my being juvenile makes it ok for me to edit your posts?
Or that editing your posts give you permission to call me nonsense names?
Or that your ability to call me names makes you feel better?
no im saying you edit posts because your juvenile and dont agree with my opinion if changed everthing i heard from other people and edited it because i didnt agree i would be ignorant and juvenile and calling you juvenile is not caling you names if called you stupid post editing jerk that would be name calling and im not saying that to insult that was what just came to my head as an example

juvenile - means 'child'.

A 'juvenile delinquent' is a troubled child - who breaks the law, does bad things.

If there's anything we can learn today - hopefully it is that 'punctuation can be your friend.' It helps us to know when one sentence (or thought) has finished and a new one has begun.

It can be a noun, but in this case it was an adjective.
Children will call each other "baby," often with a sing-song voice.
It doesn't need to make any sense. It's just intended to be insulting.
It works with small children.

Yes, punctuation is helpful. Having actual thoughts to start and finish with punctuation is also helpful.
