Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

For suggesting someone not be a grammar nazi!? It doesn’t add anything to the conversation. I did the “your” thing on purpose to see if he’d do the same thing and of course he did. I’m not being a dick, I’m suggesting maybe overlook people’s little mistakes and contribute something worthwhile. But if that makes me a dick, then I’m a dick I guess.

Did you know that correcting grammar mistakes does not make you a grammar nazi? If the guy was being condescending when providing the correction, then he is one. Simply giving the correct word to use in a simple and concise way is completely fine. Your over-reaction to his comment is the unreasonable one in this case.

Your responses make you look like an overly-sensitive, humorless jagoff, hence the vote differential.
