Futurama's back and everything is good again. Probably forever.

Maybe it's just the way you post, but your posts come off as very... how should I put this... defensive? Argumentative? I'm not saying that's your intention, but that's how you come off. Even if you aren't getting worked up over things, your posts still feel like you are.

Sometimes it just doesn't pay to sugar coat things. Sometimes, ya gotta be blunt. I don't want to beat around the bush with that argument for several more posts. It won't go anywhere until Sith sees that adopting an unfalsifiable position is a bad way to approach a discussion. So, I pointed that out.

You posted the grammatical correction at the end of a series of arguments against his post. Doing so makes it seem more antagonistic.

Projection.

Arguing that "If you don't want people correcting your grammar don't make grammar errors" reinforces this.

No it doesn't. It's just common sense. If you're going to get pissy when people correct your grammar, then don't make the mistakes. Seriously, all of this is only coming out because he complained about the correction & because you chose to push the issue, I'd intended to just let it go. I'm not going to apologize for making the correction as I did nothing wrong. I don't see how any of this is "antagonistic" on my part at all.

People make mistakes.

The flipside of this argument is that you if you accept the right to make mistakes, you also accept the responsibility to handle constructive criticism properly.

Honestly, this forum is much better about its grammar and spelling than most that I've seen.

Yes, it is.

Going out of your way to correct someone's grammar in the middle of an argument is not the best way to go about things. Nothing is really gained from doing so, either.

Okay, first of all, what is this "going out of your way" shit? It was IN the post I was responding to. It's in one of the quotes, even! Second of all, a better understanding of the English language is gained.

This is a really silly argument though, and ultimately detracts from the quality of the thread. It'd probably be best if we just moved on from it and talked about the show itself, because talking about it's sketchy time travel mechanics doesn't seem to be getting us anywhere.

Okay, I let it go last time, but seriously, stop going all "neutral party" after lecturing me. If you want the subject dropped, drop it yourself.
