One of my best customers is a dude who probably owns about 80 properties in and around Atlanta. He used to be a VP for a large bank. He quit that funny business to enjoy life, and his real estate pays his way for a comfortable living. This guy often sends me emails with grammatical errors. He doesn't care and neither do I because our correspondence is just to say 'hey, I want you to know this' and he's so successful, and worth I don't even know how much. He sends emails with errors because he's a busy guy and doesn't proof read what he writes when its just an informal email. This is a message board. In life, it counts for nothing. Grammar, schmammar. 

You've gigged me on my writing and I just laugh. It proves nothing. I mean, what kind of logic suggests 'you're point on the matter is invalid because you forgot a comma'? But I see internet people do that all the time. Ridiculous. It does not stand up to any reasoning. 

 

So both you and him are okay looking like idiots.  Good for you.  You're still idiots.

He does not look like an idiot inside of his huge house, inside of his gated community. 

There are presentations, and academics, and so forth. These need to be crisp and clean.

......though I cannot abide those who type in "text" the ebonics of the written word. Gross.

Almost like being called "Hitler." 

 

How do I cope?

Do you have any clue as to how badly you missed my point?

When? Never. I despise plagiarism almost as much as I do draft dodging. 

 

Well done, Trumper.... Lie loud, lie big, lie often. Well done. Little Boots would be proud. 

 

Im quite familiar with the Grachi. Hell, I would have been on their side at that point and I'm a republican. 

Thanks

 

but there have been times where we take his entire post and Google it and find it's been posted elsewhere. Sometimes more than 5 years prior to his post, and it's not just that kind of issue.

 

we have seen him basically write Wikipedia articles on information trying to dispute somebody else. Sometimes you been doing so, simply because he is literally using an encyclopedia.

 

calling me a liar is funny, especially with the approach you take. The nonchalant attitude would give no !@#$s if I lied

 

I give you this information and tell you of who Tiberius really is as a warning that is just wasted time with him. You write full sentences with little grammatical or spelling errors, so that at least tells me you are not that stupid.  I'm hoping you could realize the dangers in your ears and by embracing someone who only destroys this board and makes it unreadable.

Your point was to insinuate that a "Gator" can be proven to be a plagiarizer because grammar. That's what you care about. Not what I care about. I was writing to state my belief that on internets, grammar is overrated.

I don't get the whole kerfuffle, especially regarding McRaven.

When I was in, I had a top secret with some compartmentalization, but only on a very few things.

To get information, you needed a). the clearance. b) access. c). need to know.

 

I don't see how McRaven's current position should allow him to have either b or c, unless he gets read in on something related to special ops to solicit his opinion, which really shouldn't be necessary anyway.

Ill use Wikipedia as a source. It's a treasure trove of information.

If Tiberius has used wikipedia, I don't care. Now, it is bush league to say 'and this is my work' when it is not. But I don't know that he's done that. Maybe he has?

Well, as you like to assume... Then his point would be fair wouldn't it

 

If we assume that he can barely Spell correctly, has poor grammar, and acts like a goddamn retard and most of his posts that the ones that do not fit this style and hoes coherent thought, articulate speech, punctuation and spelling then it is safe to assume that it is not his work... Because you like to assume right? Smart people assume?  You assume all day? What are you missing???

 

You spent so much time to defend him without even looking into who he is, I suggest you look at his posting history. From him laughing at the troops being killed overseas, to him making jokes about Chris Stevens being killed, the whole disrespectful nature he has...

Yes he does.  He just looks like an idiot in a McMansion behind a gate.

Is your point that you're an illiterate moron who has no business calling anyone else an idiot?  Because that's the point you're conveying.

I'm all for jokes. I make 9/11 jokes. I routinely state 9/11 would be my favorite holiday if it happened to Boston because I hate the patriots. So, ya know, take some salt with it.

But if what you're saying is true, that's disturbing. 

Also, I think sexist/rape jokes are hilarious, and I'd have personally shot one of my soldiers if I ever saw them doing it. So, there are actions, and then there are jokes, right?

Then maybe you need to work on your writing as I have little trouble tackling complex ideas? Just a suggestion.

You are hopeless. I pointed out gator's normal posting deficiencies to his paragraphs of knowledgeable perfectly written responses to a subject that few would know anything about. He's done this numerous times.
