Ethical Dilemma -- LiveWire Teen Forums

A pedant with some kind of hard on for those with an eye for punctuation should garner some writing ability himself and learn about the rhythm of speech. You possess the writing style of some kind of kid with Asperger's syndrome or even that of a social retard. Your pathetic attempt at attention to detail will impress no one, and you'll never outwit me with the kind of shit you're pulling.

You should certainly note that whenever I take liberty with grammar or punctuation it is suspicious, as I'm better at the English language than you could ever dream to be.

Congratulations on confirming my suspicion that you somehow take attempts to improve your understanding or your own word choice as attacks on your intelligence rather than simple bumps of friendly advice. It's too bad that your obsessive compulsive behavior can't be put to use in a more interesting or useful venue, such as substance within a discussion or a real point beyond a pathetic attempt at a criticism of "punctuation."

Don't pretend your rhetoric regarding bare was anything but an bad attempt at a subtlety.

As for your idiotic attempt at my choice of the word "bare" instead of "bear" you simply show a lack of reading comprehension. A common context of 'bare' is that of bringing into plain view, to be presented something as undeniable, obvious, blatant, or in your face (in other words, the presentation of an emergency in such an obvious manner as say, a man pointing a gun at a child and an adult saying "Choose, if you don't I'm shooting them both."

Additionally, in proper circumstance, bare being archaic bear as well, can be used in its place if an author feels it so appropriate.

The best part, sophos, is that I don't need a dictionary to tell me this.

If you have nothing of substance to post, don't post at all, you're not an intellectual because you can make attempts at someone's grammar or someone's word choice. It's fine to correct someone but at least provide some additional insight to the topic at hand so you don't look like a douche.

I was pointing out the undeniable ignorance and hubris required to presume knowledge of how one's integrity or sworn courses of action might be conducted on in such a situation as grave knowledge were presented to them, bare and in a state of need for immediate action (I hope this is clearer as certainly I was rambling before). This being the case at least insomuch as those making the assumptions have not been in a situation whereas their own honor was compromised in an emergency of challenging ethic.

Basically friend, don't be an annoying little prick just to appear intelligent as it doesn't work here and no one gives a flying shit if you can look up words in your dictionary, comprehension is an expectation as much as meaningful contribution.
