Nate,
How 'bout you and me agree to disagree on priorities?
I am sincerely sorry you feel duped by your own notions of "at first you came across like you already were well on your way down that path based on your comments"
Because when I read REACH FOR THE STARS (
http://www.simplyscripts.com/scripts/reachforthestars.pdf ) and read:
>> Barbara waves goodbye, cup of coffee in hand. <<on PDF 10 and wonder "Does he mean she's sloshing coffee all over or holding coffee in the other hand?"
... or...
CHARLES
Rory fits my programs third type of
child. He may not be smart,...... on PDF 14 and notice "my programs third type" is possessive, so it should have an apostrophe:
program's, - strangely - I just post simple corrections, sans vitriolic vagaries.
>> Barbara waves goodbye, cup of coffee in hand. <<The coffee hand is waving or the other hand is holding the coffee?
... and...
>> CHARLES
Rory fits my programs third type of... <<"Programs" is possessive:
program'sTHESE legit corrections are WHY you thought I had "come across like you already were well on your way down that path based on your comments".
Pick one: Either my corrections and suggestions
are wrong - or - they
are right.
No sane person can have it both ways at the same time.
None of this "If you're a made man it's correct - but - if you're a nube it's wrong" rubbish.
That's a BS position to hold onto.
"Which basically ended up being a waste of peoples time."Wrong.
"
Barbara waves goodbye, cup of coffee in hand." is NOT clear.
"
... my programs third type... " IS possessive and requires an apostrophe.
And should I state "You can probably ditch the REDNECK BOY swearing at REDNECK DAD over the ATV scene" it's just an opinion. Consider it. Creative differences. Gopherit.
And when I state to Bert "
#4 - Yeah. I see the problem you've stated. Fixing one will fix the other. Got it: Make YODER a guilty older son or cousin living with the YODERs long ago that started the crop fire while illicitly smoking behind the barn." don't come busting my b@lls with this "it felt like you didn't have the overall understanding of the medium to being making the suggestions you were."
Or when I state to Pia "
Pg 4 I would exploit that "alone time" in the elevator to all sorts of suggestive, debaucherous depths mentioned above. " and she replies "
Good idea!" I really don't want to hear Monday morning quarterbacking "it felt like you didn't have the overall understanding of the medium to being making the suggestions you were."
Pick one: Either my corrections and suggestions
are wrong - or -
they are right.
Is
that your "main point"?
Did I miss something else?
Please don't offer me any more weak-tea, 500 word, say-nothing "bury the hatchet" drivel.
Don't like me. Fine.
But if I'm right - then I'm right.
I'll still read your material and likely still comment. Objectively. (Even though you're mean.)
Can we agree on the following terms?
If I need to correct a slug: show me. Don't gripe that it's wrong.
If I need a comma: show me. Don't gripe that it's not there.
If I need to edit or alter something: show me. Don't gripe that it sux.
Thank you.
Ray
Addendum: "Yeah", I guess I could say I'm equally frustrated with how you've stated your position. I'm sorry. I'll get over it.
