GM - If that is your opinion then you are entitled.
Ophelia - Alright, so by you sitting down and by saying "It's not me who is isn't accepting, it's all forms of life who communicate with one another." you're saying it's not you that isn't accepting, it's all life forms. If I misunderstood that sentence correct me.Also I believe some people can understand me, and obviously not all my statements are unintelligible since you seem to derive meaning from them.

It's because you write like a DOUCHE. Seriously, if I met you, and you talked like that, errors and all, I would laugh in yr face and probably **** you or something.
No offense.

None taken. I only post how I do because it's what I'm used to on a forum, I don't speak like this when away from the keyboard.

Actually, you remind of this really lame dude I knew years ago, who was obsessed with Buffy, and he'd get all retarded and talk just like that. It was fucking stupid, and made him look like a dipshit. Seriously, if you just said "Oh, hey, guys, I'm a completely normal person and I don't REALLY talk like that EVER, because I'm not a sad loser. YAY!" or some shit, I'm pretty sure it would only be brought up every now nd then just to take the piss.
My advice is to dump this account, wait a week, and come back AS YOU, instead of a badly written Pride And Prejudice fan-fic.

So this account is past the point of no return then? If so I will take your advice.
Edit : Fuck it... I'm just going to drop the talk all together and just continue this account. If I leave this account I'll only come back and have the same reputation as I do on this one. I'm alright being able to work my way up from where I am. I'll take it in stride.

SO SPEAK LIKE YOU!!!! In real life, I curse like a fucking trucker, make dumb, lame jokes and act like I'm twelve. This is how I am ONLINE, too. It's much fuckin' easier to be yourself than some pretentious character. It just reads like you're one of those kids that has no personality of your own, so you make one up for what ever occasion you're in. I'm pretty sure Christine in real life is an OK chick, if a bit of a personality puppet.

True, with some effort most will be able to grasp the basic gist of what you mean to say. However, is to speak your first language sufficiently to be barely understood really the extent of your aspirations?
Ironic that you want a degree in communications.

And no, I'm not saying that's what you should do. If anything, this'll be a wicked little reminder of how NOT to be a failure.

Foot - *snerk* Yeah, I guess in a way that's true... I was wrong and should have been myself from the start. I apologize for the facade...
GM - Oh the irony... It's a good school though. Its a bit divided since it's a sister school to another university and the students are completely the opposite of one and other.

I'm the smartest guy in the whole internet and with the following word I will have contributed much more substance to this thread than with all your flowery diatribe:

Gothicusmaximus...
As I actually sort of enjoyed this females contributions to the site, I was attempting to help her rectify what she might consider her vocation for verbose banter. But since then, it's maintained a trite, and yes I agree with you, unquestionable decadence.
Her problem with the word is probably the problem most suffer from they see a word that looks like it should mean greatness, such as decadence. I mean look at it, it's a word set up for decorum but it means quite the opposite. I find people have the same problem with approximation or approximately. They assume that word means exact, as it looks like that is what it means, though it means quite the opposite.
Lady Christine our focal issue with how your trying to visually communicate with us through text is the point that when you attempt to speak with what your connotative take on the word decadence means. Instead of getting your point across, you end up confusing yourself and us as half of what you say is insensible unreadable and simply just doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
The only 2 people I've ever seen speak with such verbosity on this site and still know what the fuck they are talking about would probably be gothicusmaximus and a recent addition named HavelockV.
I could ramble on the way V does in V for Vendetta if I really wanted to, I possess that of a vast verbal dictionary within my head but I rarely use such words that 95% of the general population wouldn't understand. I merely posses that knowledge for books of higher scripted diction so I might understand what someone like Shakespeare or Chaucer is blathering on about.
I've picked apart every word HavelockV has said and I'm happy to say that good sir knows what the fuck he's saying when he says it. Though he could use simpler words, the fact that he's using the words he does in the right context is quite enough for me to be okay with him continuing to do so.
Same goes for gothicusmaximus the few times that he decides to type with a bit of a higher verbal understanding.
You, on the other hand, half the time have no idea what the words your using mean.
That's the point, you want to communicate with us, speak simply and with words you understand and we'll be able to communicate back just as well.

I'm so glorious already, why would I need a shitty medal to show validation in the eyes of some inferior being?

I'm sorry Mr. E, I am rectifying the issue.
Jillian - Because then you could do substances with Mr. Phelps.

What foot said...
I think this is the most intelligibly understandable paragraph you've written since you've joined.
See how easy that was?

Check it out, she's running out of material.
At least to me, she's trying to be condescending with normal language.
I have won. You see? I wasn't joking when I said I'm the smartest person in here.

Damn. I'll give you credit there.
I was very sure you would bombard me with rhetoric to 'prove' that I haven't 'won'.
I didn't think you would actually just stop talking like that altogether.

Eh, I'm done with that... I'd rather be myself at this point. By the way, you've got one of the better mohawks I've seen lately.
