  • Sounds like they are just being trolls. If they don't like the answer they can just ignore it and move on. Yes, that is immature.
  • Yes, immature and extremely rude also
  • yes it is immature and obnoxious
  • Yes, it is a bit rude. Don't worry about it.
  • Maybe a bit excessive since it was on 6 answers... but maybe it's true. And, I don't think it's any more immature than posting a question to complain about it.
  • Yes it is rude. If it bugs them, they should have the sense to just move on. A hint for the future. If you are having trouble spelling, or just fat fingering your replies in the "answer window", I suggest that you open a Word document and type your answers there. That way the spell check feature will catch many of your mistakes. After you have proof read your answer, or new question, copy it and paste it into the answer or question window. This will save you some embarrassment.
  • ok the reason why i asked this question is from all the comments i got from bobblaylock on 6 of my questions .i think it is realy rude to do that and give - points for it. for someone who is suppuse to be a brain and is a 47 and is a 3rd ranking(and i could care less)isnt giving a good example and making himself look bad.ok my grammar may suck on this answer but i think everyone understands.just like the hundreds of thousands of questions everyone else have writen.if i asked for a teacher i would go to grammarbag not answerbag.sorry if it seems like im taking it to serious. but that shits got to go .for all of you who like to see them comments check my profile ,there is 6 comments in a row saying "come back when you learn how to right?" that is pretty bad.
  • It is immature to leave those comments like that, but if you cannot write well then I think you should find how your sentence/question should read before you post it. I think it's sad when people our age do not care about their spelling and grammar.
  • It is hurtful and unnecessary. Besides, we learn to write by writing and this is an excellent place to practice.
  • It's not only immature, it is downright rude and ignorant. Self-righteousness is nothing to be proud of.
  • Is someone really that mean???
  • I think its unecessary and cruel. Once is perhaps fair enough (although they probably ought to be a little more polite about it), seeing as it does help if you can use reasonably good grammar and at least make some kind of effort with spelling, but six times is a bit excessive.
  • You'll have to excuse the Blaylocks. I think they're feeling a little lost since their boys aren't in power anymore. You know, Bill "spy-cam diagnosis of Terri Schaivo" Frist, Tom "the hammer that got whacked itself" DeLay, George "macaca" Allen, and Rick "just Google my last name" Santorum. Without these wonderful souls running around telling people that they're wrong all the time, the Blaylocks feel the need to fill the void and spread their own version of "cheer". It's sorta like when the Wicked Witch of the West got really mad at Dorothy for landing her house on her sister. *Bob and Glenn turn towards the other 'Baggers with daggers in their eyes and say:* "We'll get you all, my pretties! And your little typos, too!"
  • For some reason he feels the need to bully - it's probably got something to do with the size of his penis.
  • If we speak about the values and virtues of Human Relations, it is indeed very immature to do something so rude as that, considering that the said person is not even close to you, and just had the audacity to state something so brutal towards you. For all we know, he could have stated it diplomatically in a very mild and "grammatically encouraging" manner, instead of reiterating it that way (as if you don't understand what he meant even at the very first notice). If he had done that so, it would have become a good educational view for you, and not a "brutal lash-out"; and you could have learned a lot from him then. However, in the very context of English Grammar, I'd say that he was really right when he told you that. Modesty aside, you did really commit a lot of errors in your usage of the English Language. What was wrong with his comments then was not "what he meant", but "how he stated it". He was right; HE JUST DID NOT SAY IT RIGHTFULLY. Much of our ways in Human Relations would depend not on what we mean and say, but on "how we say it". That is what counts the most in life. As for you, my friend, try improving your usage of the English Language more and more. There is NO royal road to LEARNING, so you'll still get there in time if you'd just persevere. By the way, the question you stated above lacks "its needed punctuation mark". I hope you don't think that I am ostracizing your "English". What I'm trying to tell you is that there are really people who are so DARN PEDANTIC about English Grammar, and who'd really PULL the NERVE to PICK ON those (like you) who are not so good at it. What is ironic about this though is the fact that they are not even the ones who are absolutely perfect when it comes to the said subject; they just love channeling their insecurities to others just to elevate their standard of English to a higher level. Do you remember your "school days"? Isn't it right and factual that the ones who laugh at those who participate diligently (yet committed a lot of mistakes) are actually the very ones who get to be mistaken when they would have their turns to be scrutinized by their instructors?! Perhaps then, that very person who bullied your "English" needed your understanding and your skills in Human Relations better than your complaint or your "highly irked" comments.... To sum it all up then, you'd need to study and learn more when it comes to English Grammatical Usage, and do be humble in learning so that you will be able to REALLY learn a lot... Yet, you'll have to stand for your will and honor too, and tell all those who bully your "English" that they have to stop their primeval and barbaric manners - that they can just simply state their comments diplomatically and with the needed civil courtesy. That way, no one will hurt your guts and you can't be trampled upon too, even if you'd still make a lot of errors. After all, errors are (collectively speaking) a great part in learning English Grammar; but it also won't be an excuse for you if you can't be able to get over these said errors... Keep on learning English Grammar.... May God bless you.... :)
  • Once is acceptable. Twice is probably for reinforcement. Thrice is already an insult. Four times is plain redundant. Five times and maybe the guy is in BAD need of attention. Six times and you wonder if they do anything else other than sit in front of the PC all day hunting for even the tiniest typo and putting nasty comments on it so they don't feel too bad about themselves being nerdy losers who think they rule Answerbag when in fact they don't have a life outside this website.
  • Not really. But some of the answers I have seen on this site are as long as a Doctoral Thesis.
  • Yes it makes you want to knock em upside the head! No but it is immature and annoying. I think it's also disrespectful!
  • I think so, yes. No matter how irked I get by incorrect spelling, punctuation and grammar, I won't call people I don't know on it. We're not writing term papers here...so what does technical skill matter? As long as you're getting your point across and how you write works for you, so what? People will always be immature. I think it's lame. Unless you're personally offending anyone...big freaking deal, right? :-)
