: The point is that these are mistakes that are made purposely, to confuse the reader.
Then he has to try harder. There are still people who can read his messages fluently.
: No, because I didn't go out of my way to do it. It was a natural mistake, unlike those in question.
Fair enough. Although I still don't get why Ferrantino's style is supposedly so difficult. You only need to think what it would sound like read aloud.
: : Define a 'jackass'.
: Well, I'm not sure it necessarily needs to be defined. This is a board meant for free discussion, which I think is a bit different than a free-for-all.
(actually, it says 'Free for all at the top ;)
I'm suggesting that while the other boards (save the care board) are meant for enneagram/personality discussion, this board was put in place not as a haven for people who get off on seeing their name and words on the screen, but where people cam have reasonable discussions that are outside the realm of enneagram and personality. And on this specific issue, I don't see how Ferrantino's posting style contributes anything but confusion at best, at worst, mindless clutter.
So you are saying we should establish a certain criteria for style, in addition to judging the content?
I can't agree with you on this specific issue, because his posting style isn't mindless clutter to me. Confusing at times, maybe, but not mindless.
: So, whatever. If I'm alone on this, then I'm alone.
