The last time I PMed a guy to kindly fix his grammar, he sent me an extremely verbose (and poorly misspelled) reply that basically just boiled down to "ur a faggot smartass." Are you allowed to report PMs? Regardless there are always some bad apples, don't give up on everyone because of them. <3
Yeah you are, everyone and anyone can report a PM. Regardless of that fact though I truly believe that a PM is the best solution for a grammar issue, why bother to make the fact that you are very sensitive to the issues of the English language public? PM the poor guy, help him improve and don't start what will, invariably, become a grammar flame war.

A while back some guy was being an ass to me in a thread, called me stupid or something. So I called out his terrible spelling and grammar. He raged and got banned. And I laughed. True story.
Moral here is that the key to beating idiots in an argument is to call out their terrible writing standards. Works everytime.... for some reason

Playing mafia mostly. Plus life is busy as hell. Uni, work and going away for four weeks all require attention. You ever play mafia?
I am also finding myself less inclined to post. For no other reason than stuff just isn't as interesting as it used to be. That sounds weird coming from me, but it's the truth. I think you can get a TL overload which leads to burnout. So when I am away I will not be posting or reading TL at all. Then I can come back refreshed. Knowing my luck the first thread I see will be titled "SC2 is better than BW irregardless of what you think".

I'm my overtired state, I read that that second paragraph as "Uni and I going away for the weekend". And I was like "you went away for the weekend with unichan!!!". Then I realized I was dumb and read the whole thing backwards. I think I should probably go to bed soon O.o

Excuse me for my ignorance, but what is a "beta phaggot"? thread. I'm confused...
It seems like it is a common property of all teamliquid posters, and it also seems like it is something you really don't want to be. Is it better or worse than being an "alpha phaggot"? How about "gamma phaggot"? Or is it like an ordinary "phaggot" that used to play sc2 beta? Or that is playing the d3 beta? Which would then make the game developers some kind of "alpha phaggots", as they play the alpha version?
It also seems to be related to being a "dumb hipster" and perceiving oneself as having intellectual capabilities. Hmm.

But I've given up on comprehending about 50% of the posts in Closed. I'm not capable.

I used to visit the Closed section a lot. I envisaged it as dumpster diving for valuables. Except nowadays there's literally too much garbage to wade through--not worth it to find the gems.

I have to say, I like this one:
Let it Raine was just temp banned for 2 days by Pholon. That account was created on 2010-08-15 01:30:44 and had 960 posts. Reason: Strategy forum 101: [Did I watch the replay?] | | No. Yes. | | [Don't post.] [Do I have something useful to add?] ^ | | L-----------------No. Yes. --> [Post]

Probulous is the one who called me out on it, but if it were really him I think he would be way more subversive about it, wouldn't want to attract attention to himself.
I find this post interesting:

Neo did seem to enjoy the toast puns more than most, and here it's almost like he's trying to convince the mods to ban me. How could he do that if no one reported it? Seems strange to me. Maybe it's not him, but he's the prime suspect right now IMO.

1: Completely baseless accusation: That post says nothing about whether or not neo enjoys the jokes, just that there are jokes when you are banned.
2: Convince the mods to ban you? He's stating a fact.
3: "Seems strange to me" == "I hope people jump on the bandwagon I'm starting"
4: Prime suspect? He's the most townie person in this thread.

While I did previously discover that I could report my own posts, why would I do that in this instance? Why would I risk getting myself banned by doing that. Even if the post wasn't ban worthy, mods may just axe me for abusing the report. What would I have to gain anyway? I'd have to spend two days or longer actually working at my job. *shudder*
This bandwagon on me has developed absurdly quick. If I didn't know better I'd say you two were covering for Neo. I'd say we struck scum.

Since when Haemonculus is a mod? Quite surprising to see her ban some people.

Wait, two questions. You can report yourself and others cannot?
Secondly, did you just call me scum for defending you?

#1: Yes. You just have to find the number of the post and put it at the end of this URL: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/report.php?post_id= Can even report staff posts. (doesn't work on close threads or threads in restricted forums though). For example, the ID number of your last post there was 14169593, put that at the end of that URL and you can report your own post. Though I think it's probably not recommended to do so...
#2: I thought everyone knew that by now, thus I interpreted your statement as supporting these spurious allegations against me.
