That is what you are doing. You will say it is in response to something, but it is as your definition.

By the way, I am the real Tamber.

i realize now, Rincewind, that you weren’t accusing my comment of being incomprehensible. that was my mistake, sorry.

as a counter to that remark, though, i don’t think any of the comments Tamber corrected were flawed enough as to become non-understandable. except, perhaps, for that of Kristine, who i suspect may not be a native english speaker.

okay. i really am done this time.

i’m fairly certain people can understand what i posted in my comment. “Horrified illiterate” said some pretty similar things to me, so clearly someone is on the same page. and had i known “bastardized” would have passed through moderation, i would have used that word in my initial comment as well, to the very same effect.

i never realized that “spazz” as a slang term exclusively referred to people with medical issues or seizures. so no, i don’t find that to be offensive or hurtful. in fact, my brother has epilepsy, so if anyone should be offended by that word it’s probably him or me. but we have sense enough to know in that in casual speech the word isn’t referring to a disability/medical condition.

i hope you don’t honestly believe i’m comparing Tamber to a nazi. “grammar nazi” is another (common) slang term used to describe an over-zealous, militant grammar-corrector. it doesn’t mean i literally believe he/she shares ideologies with hitler or is plotting mass genocide. also, if you’ll notice, i’m not the only (or first) one in these comments who has used that term.

i wasn’t accusing Tamber of trolling because i disagree with his/her opinion, it was because ALL of her posts were meddlesome and completely irrelevant to the subject matter of this page – which is what trolling is. and by that definition i suppose i can now be considered a troll as well.

i’ll grant that after reading through my comment again, i do sound very… how should i say this without getting banned by moderators?… persnickety. so for that, i do apologize.

anyway, Tamber won me over with the Billy Mays and pickles story, so at least from my perspective all has been mended.

and to all a good night.
