If you are invited to a party, are you prone to showing up with a bottle of wine and cordially greeting your host, or do you barge on in, spit in the host's face, microwave his cat, and flip over his coffee table? Chances are, you don't do the latter. There are certain rules that you must follow in this world. Just like the real world, the internet

Direct direction.

You will do no such thing. But feel free to live out your fantasies in your head where they cannot hurt anyone.

And this post is directed directly at you.

thanks for all the useful advice, though i disagree with your one or none re: exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!1

[mekh]

No problem! I'm a special kind of altruist, an internet altruist.

You're not allowed to disagree with any part of this post. You're also not allowed to disagree with grammar. You will curb your exclamation point usage as to better fit my worldview.

i insist that you hold my hand on the internet forever

also i have determined that on my 2oth birthday i will begin using caps and regular punctuation. maybe.

[mekh]

I can only take you so far, ... the rest of the journey is up to you.

You of all people should be using capitalization and punctuation. Not all of us are as blessed grammar Nazis as you are. Use your skills. Employ them. Show them to the world. The only grammar schooling I can do to people is to remind them that they don't feel nauseous, they feel nauseated.

grammatical integrity takes a lot out of a nigga; at the end of the day, some of us just need to let it all hang loose and forget about the caps for a while. plus, lowercase makes me look demure on the internet. almost like doing font size=1 every time i post a comment or entry, except not as flagrantly useless and simpering.

Man, a superfluous semicolon. I have been served.

What about proper nouns, Nicole, what abour proper nouns?

Tiny fonts are to be used on instant messenger, I cannot afford to strain my eyes whilst reading an internet journal. I needs them to watch TV all day.

Hey you're slacking, I didn't see any drama started by you at Dracs Ball!

[mekh]

I refuse to portray you in any positive light, Coral!
Even in the positive light of drama starting!
