Dust Raven Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Re: Who do you trust? Hero Board savants Agreed. I spent too much time correcting other people's spelling and grammar; it affects my reading habits. No paragraph breaks in a document actually repulses me; I can't bear to look at it. And too many typos will do the same thing. I don't care if you're Shakespeare holding a lost sonnet in your hand; if I can't stomach your abysmal spelling and near-utter lack of grammar comprehension' date=' I'm not going to read your stuff.[/quote'] I hope I'm not that bad! I have a horrible habit of typos of all kinds. Typically, I just think faster than I type, and I have fat fingers and a small keyboard. Personally, I'm not too picky about other people's grammar, spelling and such. I know there are many Hero fans who simply don't speak (or type) English very well for one. Another, these are informal boards; as long as the point is gotten across I'm happy. Of course, a horrid jumble of poorly thought out gibberish is an eyesore to everyone. I've noticed this a lot with fanfics (surprise ). What may very well be an interesting story, with a new look at characters and situations I'd never considered, is lost to my eye for lack of a spell and grammar checker. Fan fic is different. I consider a piece of fanfic as I would any published work. If an author doesn't take the time to actually work at what he or she is writing then I see no reason to have to work at trying to read it.

zornwil Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Re: Who do you trust? Hero Board savants We've done these threads, but I still want to throw in Hyper-man whose opinion I always find interesting even if I disagree, along with so many others named here. Same for Sean (not just saying it 'cause he brought up my name, but thanks, too, for that!) who brings a fresh perspective and is good about challenging...well, anything! PS - Doc Democracy, too, whom I admittedly do agree with a lot, but mainly I like his approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CourtFool Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Re: Who do you trust? Hero Board savants I have to change my earlier answer. There are still not people that I pay 'special' attention to. However, I find myself automatically ignoring all posts by certain people. I would not say it is necessarily animosity, more like I know that I will disagree with what they post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Black Lotus Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Re: Who do you trust? Hero Board savants Since first coming here a couple of months ago, I think I've gotten the best advice from MitchellS, and had the most entertaining arguments with Dust Raven. I don't expect to become an "expert" here anytime soon, myself... but hey, you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, arguing is one of my most favorite pastimes.... but only if it's entertaining. Everything should be done to entertain... otherwise, people just stare at you like you're some kind of weirdo.

Hawksmoor Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Re: Welcome to land of the ignored There are a lot of people I enjoy reading and/or tustling with on the boards. Derek Heimforth, Dust Raven, RDU Neil, Sean Waters (TRL to you!), MitchellS, Oddhat, Zornwil. A special note for the kings of polls Hermit and Nexus. And a few that I hardly ever agree with (and in one case I actually think I made his Ignore list) Fox1 and bbrandon both of which often provide a different way of doing things that I might not agree with but I heartily endorse their ability to have a different view.

Egyptoid Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Re: Who do you trust? Hero Board savants any one but egyptoid, that dude is nuts. sometimes he doesnt even total up the powers on a character sheet. sometimes he doesnt even balance a character. sometimes he just runs a story and doesnt even care about the math. how non-hero is that?

Hawksmoor Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Re: Welcome to land of the ignored (BTW, I just realized you're in the green, wow) It took a great deal of dedicated posters to turn him back from the Darkside. I wonder if I can rep him again? EDIT: Yep! Hawksmoor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teh bunneh Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Re: Who do you trust? Hero Board savants No one pays any attention to the Bunny. But that's OK. That means you'll all be that much more surprised when I unleash my evil plot upon you! Seriously though, others have mentioned them, but Heimforth, Liaden, Enforcer, OddHat, Susano, Shrike, and RP Miller all have useful things to say about the game. I always read MitchellS; even though I disagree with him 90% of the time, he's very erudite and makes a good argument. The Llama, of course, since I have to keep an eye on him at all times. Trencher has an interesting way of looking at the world. Amadan, Keith, Tribble, Old Man, 'Bec, TQM, Storn, Secret Master... the list goes on. There's very few people I don't like seeing their contributions. And of course, Darren, Steve, Ben, and Tina. [/obligatory suckup] Bill.

Guest Black Lotus Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Re: Who do you trust? Hero Board savants I hear you, Bill. If it's any comfort, I'll be working on converting Mr. Bunny to a Ninja format so that he can live in my signature. Besides, my surrent sig is too tall and not long enough. Probably hard on the eyes. A nice, fluffy bunny should take care of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CourtFool Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Well I certainly do not trust the bunny! No one pays any attention to the Bunny. The New & Improved Bunny Song For the linked challenged: The bunny, the bunny, oh, I ate the bunny I didn't eat my soup or my bread, just the bunny The bunny, the bunny, oh, I ate the bunny And now I'm feelin' sick in the head from the bunny.

Hugh Neilson Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Re: Who do you trust? Hero Board savants REading the Boards today, I think I could compile a decent short list by searching posts by Zornwil which say "I can't rep you right now" and checking who he refers to. Add Zornwil himself to the list of names, and you've likely got a pretty good start on a list. For myself, I've seen a lot of good comments from a wide variety of people, which is why I keep reading the Boards. Agree or disagree with them, a lot of posters here put a lot of consideration into their posts, and facilitate a view of all sides of the issues. So I guess I trust "Herodom Assembled".
