When I started posting on theknot, i posted things like this all the time. who cares about things like caps. i would talk to ppl like i did on wow.

Yeah, E saved my writing abilities. It's a great way to remind yourself of grammar rules and proper typing though ;)

For the gaming world, text-speak (leet, etc.) is ok.  On a forum, it gets annoying really quick because everyone reads/types SO much.

Moneypenny424

As far as I can tell, I've only had 1 mean thing said to me and it was in my first Knot post ever, on my month board.  I came in and talked about how happy I was that my aunt bought me a lot of china and i got flamed for it.  I deserved it--people didn't know me at all and I'd left out the backstory about how it meant so much because she's the wife of my favorite uncle who had died.

Since then, smooth sailing .

I still think TJ's post about the Great Migration is one of the best things on the knot that I've ever seen.

Edit: TJ, not Kiki.

I think something along the lines of, "meaghan, you are lame and not funny and trying too hard," which was said in the most lame, unfunny, and overreaching way possible. However, if the insult is particularly good, I will accept it.

Posted by Moneypenny424[/QUOTE]

<div>Going off on what Money said: I have an issue with the logic that one <em>deserves</em> having mean things said to them because they left out backstory (which really everyone forgets or doesn't feel is absolutely necessary at some point or another). Most of the time, I think people should be given the benefit of the doubt. It's a lose-lose as a newb sometimes, either you post everything and get chided for going into way too much unnecessary detail or you post too little and people call you a spoiled brat who's too immature to get married before they give you the chance to tell the whole story. I just think the "Well you should have told us about your uncle being special from the beginning" is a crappy excuse for people who have been bitchy to someone who doesn't deserve it and who are too cowardly to own up to it.</div>

NuggetBrain

SarahSmiles said a few things that kind of hurt my feelings during our political "discussions", but I'm sure I did the same since I tend to get rather uppity and defensive so I can't really be too upset about it. 

Lilgina really upset me when she brought me up in a FFF in regards to my finances, and how she wasn't surprised I was over budget with my wedding because I'd spent $50 on something when I was out of work.

And when did I ever flame future-mrs?
Also, I don't remember ever telling anyone they didn't have a backbone.
Everything else is spot-on.
I hate how posters get butthurt for hearing the truth.

I remember being taken aback by your comment in that thread, Salt.  I also didn't remember the "I'm sorry to hear about your dad" part.  Did you come back and add that later?  I'm not saying you did, I genuinely don't remember, but I remember reading that and thinking that it was unnecessary and harsh.

goheels05

I hate to run the newb party line on you, it's not that anyone would think you to be that rude, it's just that posts on a message forum lack your facial expressions,voice tone, etc.  When all you have is the words to go by, things don't always come across as intended.  If several people, including some who like you a lot, are saying that the tone of your message came across a certain way, there is some validity to that.  But I'm glad to hear that that wasn't your intention, because like I said, I like you and it surprised me. 

ohwhynot

I think that's a valid point, Heels.  Kind of like other folks also got the sarcastic vibe from Gina's post, even though she really didn't mean it that way.  I thought she was being sarcastic, too, although I completely believe her when she said she wasn't.  So yeah, things get lost in translation. 

salt78

I'm still completely unclear as to how me saying that "I'm really sorry to hear about your dad" could be taken as anything BUT that, but I guess we will just have to agree to disagree here. 

vallyhoo

But saying that she didn't feel bad that my dad is nearly dead

is not the same as

But I am sorry to hear about your dad.

I don't think tone has anything to do with it.

beatlesgirl25

Hm, I can't speak for Salt or Gina, but this was obviously an emotionally-charged topic, and the comment from Salt was unusual (by knot norms) in that it was a confrontational sentence followed by a sympathetic one. So perhaps Gina couldn't help but hear the second part as influenced by the first, more negative part, and that's how she remembered it. Even though they were both totally separate thoughts.

lilgina64

Salt- I'll have to apologize to you again then. I must have glazed over the second sentence because I was so taken aback by the first. I'll admit I was wrong then and I got butthurt over nothing. No need to hash it out any further, it was legit a "reading comprehension failure". soz mate.

Nugget- I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings but I just didn't understand the concept of an "over budget- budget"... in my head it's all a budget. So if you were within your TOTAL budget (including your over budget budget- sorry still trying to understand that), then I wouldn't have judged you at all. Again, another reading comprehension failure I suppose.

Now I'm wondering if I'm a huge dumb ass and should get glasses or go back to kindergarten...
