"Again, I have nothing to add, i read your post, and I still feel that subtext implies he is ready... The stuff below my post tells you what my future intentions consist of as far as the information that I have. I'm not giving a Facebook status, even if I added in his emotional response, it wouldn't add more sentence. I would say, 'he cast his spell with steely resolve', or 'he drew his bow and stared down the field in anticipation'. You want me to add something like that, fine, but then don't give me an arbitrary sentence count."<br/><br/>"I will add a simple extension to give a sense of emotion that I feel is implied in subtext, that's fine. I agree to disagree, that is the best you'll get, because I don't (and won't) feel that I haven't said what needed to be said until you provide me with the results of my Fort save (at the very least). I am not angry, or upset, or doing anything but making a point. I ended my post with the solutions to the problem, of which I have no problem with any of them. I will adjust my post, and it will be left as I adjust it, because I have no desire to subjugate my own play (or writing) style consistently in the future. If you are dissatisfied with it (even given whatever response I may make after the events unfold), I will leave if you want. I don't want to make this an actual argument, but I will if you wish to try to force me to play against my style."<br/><br/>"I take no offense to the idea that maybe you don't like my style, so let's not make it anything more than that. I'll say once more, with no malice or anger, I will edit my post. If you dislike it, decide if you dislike it enough to ask me to leave, and let us leave it at that."<br/><br/>"If Yorubi has a problem with my commenting on her grammar, I would thank her to tell me that. She did not ask for your defense any more than she asked for my criticism. I think she can fight her own battles (if she even sees it that way). I, however, meant only to help her notice something, not to sling insults."<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=100680.msg4468292#msg4468292">Quote from: Yorubi on 06-04-2011, 02:11:02</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">&gt;.&lt; All I was doing before was trying to point out what I thought howling was getting at before. Granted I wasn't 100% correct in the full extent I was just trying to give my point on it. <br/><br/>All I want to add is that if you criticize other people's writings, you should be open to hear it about yours. I don't mind you pointing out problems with my post at all, i really don't. I find it helpful, I know full well I screw up in posts with often times stupid parts to it. The big issue I have is if you point out errors in someone's writing and make it a point that it sticks out and its well known to everyone, that you can't simply shrug off what everyone else might say to you and argue against it. I had no intentions of pointing out what I find wrong with what your doing at all and the only reason you made me feel at all frustrated and made me feel the need to try to point out what howling was saying was by the sheer fact that you had commented about my writing and then you felt the need to argue completely against it as if you had immunity. <br/><br/>As howling said, we all make mistakes. I personally don't mind if you point out problems with a post but you have to be thoughtful that you are going to open yourself up and have to accept that people should have that same right to do it back to you. Anything mentioned about how someone writes should not be taken as a negative point but as something you can use to improve upon your writing. Last I checked none of us are world renown writers, and even if we were, we would have an editor behind us to fix up our own screw ups and get things published correct. :)<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>"I pointed out and issue with your grammar, which is objective. I can say, definitively, that your grammar is incorrect. You cannot, however, objectively comment on my style of writing. You can say whether YOU like it or not, but not whether or not it is correct. Don't compare objectivity to subjectivity, when they are definitely not the same."<br/><br/>"I disagree with the assessment that there is something wrong with the post, you can insist that there is a million times, but you will never be 'right', only insistent. However, I can say, for sure, that 'i and he' is not correct, whereas 'he and I' is correct (I'm specifically choosing to use an unrelated piece of grammar, because I am intending this time not to try to use previous grammar issues as an insult)."
