Stick around. Corrections to grammar and syntax on NG's is crap.


No one corrected his grammar or his syntax. I told him that I think
it's ridiculous and rude to purposely make one's writing difficult to
read in a text-only medium, and that the difficulty of reading his
posts robbed them of any other value they might have. Then I plonked
him.

I'm not going to waste any more time trying to figure out what the
hell he's trying to say, if he's rude and self-centered enough to
continually and purposely make his writing obscure and difficult to
understand. Anyone who would purposely use "ya" to mean "you,"
"you're," and "your"--often in the same sentence--isn't trying to
communicate but is instead just saying "Look at me! Look at me!"

As opposed to yourself, who thinks everyone should do things your way.
Or you're way, whichever.

Bite me, Chuckles. I plonked him; I didn't tell him to do anything.

If you can't see that it is self-defeating, rude, and foolish to
purposely make your writing difficult to read and understand, then
you're dumber than a sack of hammers.

I don't get it. You're a good cook, that's been established IMO. You
know a lot about the subject and have a passion for it. I haven't
seen a post from you about cooking in a long, long time.

You seem to pop up now whenever an excuse for conflict arises.
You did that before also, but at least you talked about food once
in awhile. If you're going to snipe, why not throw in something
food related along with it? Are you still using the K or what?

Then you should google AFB on . Plenty there about
cooking.

You did notice who started this thread, right? Frohe--either trolling
or whining, but certainly not talking about BBQ. Why don't you take it
up with him?

Who's sniping? I explained in this thread why I found Frohe's writing
more bother to read than it is worth. HE starts a thread about some
people bitching about his writing and I'm not supposed to contribute
to it? (BTW, I'm with Wertz on this one. Frohe has no intention of
leaving. He's trolling.)

Are you still using the K or what?

Just about every day, often enough that I've had the postman and some
guys remodeling a house next door ask me if I'm a caterer. Yesterday a
couple racks of spares, done at 280 to 300 for about 4.5 hours,
indirect, over lump with a chunk of maple thrown in.

Call it whining if want, Wertz. I call it pointing out to someone that
he PURPOSELY writes like a sub-literate moron and that doing so maybe
isn't the best way to communicate in a text-only medium. He didn't
take my advice, so I plonked him. Why you have a problem with that is
anyone's guess.

That's the whining I was referring to. Just plonk him and get it
over with - No reason to waste 30 paragraphs announcing it to the
world.

ObFood: I made an Emeril recipe night. Sosueme.

I made a coffee anglaise to go over it. So much for low-carb.

for someone that matters to diss you before you get yer knickers in a twist
over piddly bullshit. If you'd had him in the bozo bin like I do you

I think you're nuts for even considering dropping out. You've been a
great help to me over the last couple of years and I'd miss you if you
were gone.

OTOH, your posts are sometimes a bit hard to read, but that could be a
comprehension problem for this yankee:-)

You may be Anal retentive if:

• you eat the M&Ms in color order.
• you fold your dirty clothes before putting them in the hamper.
• you have to have all boxes in the kitchen facing the same way and in
order by size.
• you have all your canned goods organized by type, flavor, and use.
and they're all facing the front.
• all your books, CDs, and movies have to be alphabetical order.
• you require no less than 200 threads per inch on your sheets.
• ...and they are tucked so tightly that you really could bounce a
quarter on them.
• you alphabetize your spices.
• you organize your closet by color, season, and fabric.
• you flame every person who sent you email because the emails
weren't spelled correctly or gramatically correct.
• you remove the tires to wash inside the wheel-wells of your vehicle.
• you collect the little postcards in magazine issues...
...for recycling.
• every e-mail reply that you send has been through a grammar
checker...
• ...and you correct the original message.
• you're on a "calorie-counting" diet and you count the calories in
the hot sauce on your "Big Beef Burrito Supreme"



Do you really know my ex-wife that well?

You forgot sorting pencils, paper clips and rubber bands by size.

Ah, the old, "I didn't tell him to do anything" ploy; you just plonked
him for not doing it your way.
I see the difference.

You really shopuldn't speak that way about yourself; it's very
self-defeating.
