rudeness

[sgraves]

I came on this post to talk about martial arts and frankly I thin k its very rude the way certain members approach situations i should be able to talk how i want to talk without someone wanting to be the grammar police and correct the things i say or how i want to speak part of being martial artist is learning to versatile

if a person cant see the good in what a person is saying why comment or be anal about something that doesn't need to be made out to be an issue

the problem in the world today is that people get tripped up on every little thing being overly rude to each other isn't gonna help insightful discussions about martial arts or help us grow as warrior the banner said a fun layed back place to discuss martial arts not a place where you have speak a certain way for what you said to be read its not like something disrespectful was said someones art i was just trying to help out a fellow warrior to feel better instead i get people pretty making fun of me and people talking about my post like i wasn't gonna see it and then they continue to do so like its ok

so i guess im asking why be so critical why cant people just accept certain things for what they or give information instead of being so critical and being rude to others this is a martial arts forum not a English class room
let just talk about fantasy martial art stuff or real martial art stuff we are here to talk about what we all love and that's martial arts not be jerks at least that why im here

Look, it's simple, it's not the grammar police or you being picked on....

WE CAN'T READ WHAT YOU WRITE BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AS IT'S WRITTEN.
You can write how you want but you must know that if no one understands you then you are talking to yourself and that would be a shame because you obviously want to contribute here, we are just saying please communicate in a way we can understand and respond to, Remember you aren't helping uncle jack.....

Write how you want, just don't expect people to read it if it's draining on them (us) to decipher what you're saying.

I don't think people meant any harm by it. Just a request so it's easier to read.

i understand that but they are making it seem like im writing in a different language or rearranging the words or something that is what im saying

What you are doing is very similar to rearranging the words. When you string words together, the meaning can be entirely different depending on the punctuation.

so you are telling me you cant understand what a person is saying online without punctuation

so you are telling me you cant understand what a person is saying online without punctuation

I am telling you that if you want to be taken seriously communicating through a written medium, you should probably at least try to write so that other people don't have to work to understand you.

Is English your first language?

Ah the penny has dropped. Yes, that is what we are telling you. Sentences have different meanings depending on punctuation.

its not funny just like you had someone agreeing with you ive had people agreeing with me

Use punctuation. Plain and simple. This is not an outrageous request. This is how people communicate through writing. Punctuation is part of that, it makes what is written understandable.

If you want to be taken seriously, use punctuation. This is no joke, and it is not being unfairly critical to you. It is honest good advice.

It's not a popularity contest, I'd win anyway, I'm far more unpopular than you.

I can understand what you are saying in your posts. The problem I have, I have to spend too much time figuring it out and decoding it. It's not worth my time anymore. You say that you are capable of good writing, and that you use it in other places, but not here.
No one here is trying to be rude to you and hurt your feelings. We want you to contribute, so that we may learn from each other. But in my particular case, I don't want to work that hard to understand what you are writing. Especially since you only want to practice proper writing at school and in your profession. Please have the same respect for us, as you do your teachers and co workers.
