My skin gets thin here at times

Ronny#66 · 01/16/2009, 03:27 PM

You know most of us at least me are here to try and keep our tanks up and running. I don't spell well nor do I type well . But some here just love to barate us about it. They realy show there inteligents when they do this. I've been posting here long enough that most know all about my grammer skills and typing skills. I got to tell ya I'm 55 years old and not about to take a grammer class or typing class. So if you don't like the way I post or what ever here. When you see Ronny#66 don't bother on clicking on the thread and save most here from reading your discusting comments . Don't bother to point out any typos or grammer errors I 'm shure you get my point!! Thats why some people whom I mention this site too say they just got sick of the know it all"s and don't bother to post here anymore.

as far as im concerned ronny, i like you and think your a great asset to the forum, chin up mate, keep posting and hope you hang about

Flightpipe · 01/16/2009, 03:35 PM

You could use Firefox it has a build in spell check. LOL

hey i agree this site is supposed to be for support and helping not pointing out peoples flaws! NO ONE IS PERFECT!

billdogg · 01/16/2009, 03:49 PM

I'm right thewre with ya ronnie. I hesitate before i reply to any post because it seems that at least half the time, some profanity removed know-it-all whose tank has been up for about 20 minutes will flame me and my answer. Although what I say may cause some to disagree, what i say has been learned though 20+ years of marine fishkeeping experience, and has worked for me, my friends, and the customers at the lfs I spent over 10 years helping out. Don't like my advise???? Don't take it!

Michael · 01/16/2009, 03:56 PM

well guys i can assure you that most of us who use this fantastic forum on a daily basis wont tolorate the sort of crap which has enraged ronny and indeed billdog, im not a mod or team rc and only a normal member like you guys, however im determined to ensure we all enjoy rc, if i see the sort of posts which you guys are reffering to i will always report the post to the forum moderator, there will be debate at times and it can seem rude and disappointing thats on-line forums for you, but if you feel threatened or intimidated in any way click the report button, please dont stop posting because of idiots, and remember most of us are decent folk ok

Ronny#66 · 01/16/2009, 03:59 PM

This area is for advice for people new to reefkeeping to get TECHNICAL ADVICE. It is not about your feelings OP.

Whisperer · 01/16/2009, 04:08 PM

People who criticize spelling and grammar on a BB only impress themselves. As long as one conveys his thoughts clearly, I don't care how he spellz.

Whys · 01/16/2009, 04:14 PM

I find much greater joy in keeping the local Titans on their toes with well placed argumentative discorse. Nit-picking grammer is for those who think there is something special about a spell check.

By the way, my spelling is horrible. Back when spell check required thumbs on a hand held device, I constantly got hammered in my philosophy debates for it. Amazing how unintelligent it must make me to say things such as below, but with spelling errors.

Now I have google spell check and I'm soooo much smarter for it.

aquaman67 · 01/16/2009, 04:14 PM

We've had this elitist, self aggrandizing, I can spell better than you, so I'm a better person discussion before.

As long as I can figure out what your trying to ask, I'll do what I can....

of course you are correct, however because its for newcommers it should be for all types of questions as well, it should be for introductions, new tank shots for new tanks, (i started a thread about them a while back) it should be for ideas and recommendations for newbies as well, when your new on a forum, whether reefing or dieting, or keep fit, motor cycles, whatever, it can be intimidating for some, and a bit of consideration here and there goes a long way, when members get slated they stop posting, we dont want that, an occassional thread about behaviour on the forums is ok imo, it doesnt happen very often and ronny has got a good point, i think sk8rs latest thread summed it up

Ronny#66 · 01/16/2009, 04:17 PM

I was a commercial diver for 30 + years didn't do much spelling or typing down there . I would like some o these winers do some of the underwater work I've done .

Whisperer · 01/16/2009, 04:21 PM

No need, spelling and grammar are enough for them.

Whys · 01/16/2009, 04:26 PM

You're spelling is alright by me Ronny. I haven't a clue how to surface from a 100' depth on a single breath, but I bet you can. I hope you to choose to rescue me over them in such a scenario.

Sk8r · 01/16/2009, 04:55 PM

Hang in. It's not how you spell it, it's how you actually do it that counts in RC. There is, just under the text of your message, a little blue line that says Report This Post To a Moderator. Since mods physically can't screen everything, we rely on members to report those posts which are not appropriate. Action will be taken. You may not see the immediate result, but the offender will.

abbalahdun · 01/16/2009, 05:39 PM

I've noticed this a lot, not only here but on a few forums I go to, don't feel bad ronnie, I can spell, but I hate punctuation....if u can read what i said, let it go and ronnie +1 to you

Actually Kurquart, I am perfect!!! My Daddy tells me that all the time....:-))

Ronnie, I am a complete newbie/idiot - my tank has been up for 5 weeks and the only fish I had before that were on my dinner plate so I am 100% that you and a lot of the other newbies have more information than I do and can absolutely help me keep my tank up and running!!!

I'm a real stickler for spelling and grammer - but only when I am typing, and I know that I get it wrong quite a lot......

But I have to say if you're answer keeps my tank up and running and algae free and my fish alive I don't care if you write it in hieroglyphics!!

Take Care

Ronny#66 · 01/16/2009, 06:17 PM

Whys: It's easier than you think as you assend the air in your lungs expands and believe it you can ! But not recomended . Plan your dive dive your plan. Actually never rescued anyone out of water always a recovery . Boy off subj but i did mention water LOL .

bradbmbj · 01/16/2009, 07:48 PM

I think some people tend to have the need to make themselves feel as if they were greater than others simply because they have issues with there own confidence, they have to try to prove how smart they are or how good looking or how much money they make and its all meaningless, please do not let this group of people steal your joy, God bless you all

192clark · 01/16/2009, 07:53 PM

Ronny and any others bothered by the grammar police. Do you know what a sexual intelectual is? A FXXXing know it all. They do not like them self either that is why the bash. If they do not like them self then we do not have to either. Keep asking and keep answering. That is why RC is here to help each other. We all have to ignore jerks from time to time. I am not sure if I spelled everything right but then again I do not care. Keep banging those keys man!!!

OH AND SUGAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You couldn't be more right on the money. Some are so small that they must belittle others to make themselves feel better. This place is FUN, and SO VERY educational. There are WAY more reefers on RC that are helpful, and will jump through hoops to get through any problem. Keep your chin up, and hang tough.

Well enough on this subj. Lets get back to the ral buisness at hand thanks for the suport.
