Nobody says otherwise. I must be right.

Edited on Wed Apr-26-06 02:58 PM by skids

I just wanted to throw this general meme out here:

If noone bothers to contradict you, it doesn't necessarily mean you are right. It could also be that you are boring, kicking a dead horse, in territory so inconsequential noone cares, so utterly wrong that people think you beyond help, or preaching solely to the converted.

Just in case some folks out there weren't aware of that fact.

1. I'm going to contradict you right now.

It's "no one". "noone" is not a word. Sorry, this is a big pet peeve of mine.

Otherwise, I agree with your meme, although I have no idea what set it off.

3. Fixed thanks. That's one of my bad grammar habits.

Which I am trying deperately to rid myself of.

As far as context, I think pointing that out generally tends to detract from metacognosis. So instead of wondering that, I just ask that people ponder how it applies to themselves individually.

5. Hey, I would be too embarrassed to post...

Without a spellchecker. Can't spell worth a lick. :)

I rarely start threads, myself.

6. It's also possible that people find you repellent

and would walk a mile out of their way to avoid talking to you.
