- DanBC 11y agoThat's a nasty thing to say. marincounty does use too many question marks[1], but does so in every post. EDIT: and grammar discussions are really tedious. [1] I am aware that my punctuation, spelling, and grammar are terrible. I welcome help! My email is in my profile.
- mzs 11y agoI do not see marincounty being a bully in that comment, just some odd punctuation. This discussion is derailing from the topic at hand.
- totalrobe 11y agoGuys, I did not say that marincounty was being a bully. Seems like you too are falling prey to the HASTY GENERALIZATION or maybe just a faulty correlation. Just because some bullies use the false dilemma does not mean that marincounty is bully. And agreed, we are definitely derailing from the topic.
