August 24, 2006 : Crossing the Line
It's funny, no, it's fucking hilarious. Anytime and I mean ANYTIME I try to something nice for anyone that's not in my intimate friend circle, it backfires, horribly.
Take for instance, my latest endevour. Little Split Keyblader over at OB decided he was gonna write himself a story. So I thought, "Hmm, new writer, maybe I'll give it a shot and help him out, just like people helped me out."
Well, look what it turned into for me. I wasted 2 hours on the little shithead's piece of shit, wading through the horrible grammar and syntax, correcting every little thing. I was quite content with myself, having done a future writer a good deed. Of course, staying up 'till 2 in the morning because I had other stuff to attend to, along with getting up at 5:30 this morning really doesn't help.
Little did I know how much I'd come to regret that mistake. I sign in today, scrolling down to the Antho to see if he'd replied and I get not only the one thing I didn't want to see, I also see a certain member stepping up on a pedastal he shouldn't be on. You know, why am I gonna stick this asshole behind a censor? Tical Blue, you all know him and most likely don't like him.
*saves his Tical rant for afterwards*
Anyway, I get a, "You used too big words. Tical helped better. Besides, the font you used was too small.". I could've shot him then and there. Luckily, I calmly responded and instead turned on Tical.
My exact words, "SK: I changed the font size. Just out of curriosity, what grade are you in?
Tical: Yeah, that's like expecting a dog that pees all over the house to learn on its own not to pee all over the house. You cannot learn from your mistakes if someone doesn't point them out to you or at least show you the correct way.
Plus, just encouraging him, doesn't help either. Again with the dog example, it just leads him to commit the same mistakes over and over again. Keep that in mind next time you just write, "Great Work" or "Awesome job.".
PS: I would not step too far up on your pedestal Tical. Your stories are nothing to gawk at and your writing/syntax aren't up to par either. Your spelling sucks as well, so get over yourself. You're not great. You're subpar, if that, to alot of people here."
I'm a very nice person by nature. So I didn't respond by flamming the shit of Tical, but if he continues I will. I'm sorry, but what he's doing is mean and wrong. It's encouraging him in the wrong way. Telling him how to di it wrong.
Like so many parents these days...but that's none of my buisness. All I know is, if Tical wants a fight, he's getting one from me.
His reply to your long post was a bit too horrid. He used about 3 lines and I doubt he ever tried reading your post.
Well, choke in it kiddo. If you don't want to improve, you may want to notify people about it before they try to help you. :)
And yes; someone has to put Tical back in his place. *takes out his chainsaw*
