She goes:

I have noticed through reading the responses that some comments have been made which have nothing to do with the questions. These comments by no means serve themsleves as amusing.

"This is a college ethics course. There is no right or wrong, just endless bitching and sulking."
"You exactly parroted what he said. Exactly. It hurts me inside."
"Did you think no one would notice? You didn't even correct her misspelling of Hobbes' name. The funny part is that it's an ethics class."

If you have comments like these please keep them to yourself. It is not warranted that we have an official peanut gallery. Yes this is a College Ethics Course, so please... is it ethically right to bitch and complain about what someone wrote? Is it Ethically right to call someone out for leaving a letter off a person's name; have you ever heard of Dyslexia or the problem of spell check NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT YOU WANT.
Not Amused by far, I hope that the Unnecessary responses stop.
Thankyou.


I go:

I'm not attempting to be amusing. I'm attempting to make points.

"This is a college ethics course. There is no right or wrong, just endless bitching and sulking."

Okay, yeah, I was attempting to be amusing there. It is a joke, you see, on the nature of college courses. It wasn't even aimed at anyone. Why is it a problem?

"You exactly parroted what he said. Exactly. It hurts me inside."

When I'm putting actual thought into my responses, it displeases me to see people just reading the responses of others and parroting them straight back.

"Did you think no one would notice? You didn't even correct her misspelling of Hobbes' name. The funny part is that it's an ethics class."

Are you kidding me? In this incident, the girl COPY-AND-PASTED SOMEONE ELSE'S RESPONSE and PUT IT DOWN AS HER OWN. That is PLAGIARISM. That is CHEATING. It's prohibited by class rules and unfair to the person who actually wrote the response. Why am I the one in the wrong for pointing it out?

I have a friend with dyslexia. She hates it when people blame their misspellings on it. I understand that spell check can be inaccurate, but it's fairly easy to tell when someone's just not trying, which is what I'm seeing on a weekly basis.

I have every right to say what I want here. You have every right to say what you want here. For example, I think that your implying in your response to Chapter 11 that unemployed people are simply too lazy to get jobs is appalling, especially in today's economy, where more people than ever are being laid off and are unable to find replacement jobs. I furthermore find it abhorrent that you don't want your taxes going to support people who can't afford medical treatment, especially considering that this covers the children of those trying to survive on a shoestring budget as well as the unfortunates themselves. However, while I will contest the validity of your statements, I respect your right to state them. It's the power of free speech! Isn't it fun?

Enjoying watching you get your panties in a bunch,
(real name)


She goes:

what happened to think before you speak? or just THINK IT don't write it. I have no problems with your opinion, however I do not think that they are needed here. So what if they are plagiarising, that should be up to the teacher to decide. I did not see your name listed as our instructor. Dyslexia, varies in severety.
Yes, unemployed people are lazy. There are jobs, futhermore there are ways to cut costs which most of society doesn't see. If there were no jobs wouldn't the population be rapidly dieing off? No, they would just have more kids...and cry louder. And my taxes, yes I love money, and all of it that I earn should go to me, the one who WORKED FOR IT. Moreover, these people who are unfortunate... lie dramatically. I am sorry to find that cable TV and highspeed internet and a hot tub is POOR. I do not have any, and and never had any....so, I must be really poor.

all I ask is that you please think it not write it.

as for the panties thing...not a joke. very rude.


I go:

Congratulations, you're being more offensive than I could ever hope to be. I hope you, your ignorance, and your entitlement are very happy together.


It's going to be an interesting Monday next week.

I'll be taking the best mental notes I can for you guys, promise. I wonder who it is? I don't know names, just faces. I'm guessing it's the fairly old chick.

Panty-bunching is a serious condition that millions of people suffer from. Clearly, we need more skilled practitioners of bitchslappery -- such as yourself -- to help find a cure.

Next time, use the phrase 'knickers in a twist.' It's unlikely she's familiar enough with British English to know it means the same thing as 'panties in a bunch,' but I'm sure she'll find new and totally useless ways to be offended by it without understanding what it means.

Also, this woman is teaching an 'ethics class?' I'd always been told you were required to actually have ethics to teach them. Or am I showing my age again?

Ooh, good idea. I'm half-convinced that if I confuse her enough, she'll just start mooing. Like, physically mooing. MOOOOOOO.

Oh no no no, she's just a student. Our ethics teacher is awesome. I wonder if she's going to go whining to him with this? Oh man, this could be interesting. This is just what I needed for an end-of-semester boost :D

OMG DELCAT. YOU ARE SO RUDE. LOOK AT HER DYSLEXIA. LOOK AT IT. GAZE UPON IT.

Now don't you feel bad?

Yeah me either. There is no point in arguing with her if she is of the stance that you should "think it not write it." Yeah, okay, 'cause THAT IS HOW DISCUSSION HAPPENS, BOYS AND GIRLS.

NEXT WEEK: Sex education! AIDS slip through the pores in condoms, you little harlots!

Honestly, I was lawling at the idea that anyone could be more dyslexic than my dubby buddy Sylvia. She's made it into an art form.

Discussion really doesn't happen on the boards, people just make their response, do a quick IAWTC on a random response as their "thoughtful comment", and get the hell out of dodge. It's a shame, really, there's sooo much wank potential.

She seems like someone used to speaking as opposed to writing, and while she's learned the concept of expressing an opinion, she's certainly only thought these opinions out to a limited degree. I'm having trouble deriving some sort of unconscious logical progression from what she's writing, but a crack at some possible justification: "This woman is offending me. (Stuff that is offensive is bad!) I only deserve it if I really did something bad. But look, this stuff she's saying about dyslexia makes everything seem like a big joke! That's just rude. You can at least be polite. I'm going to tell her to be polite, because even if I did something bad (IF), SHE should be polite!"

Anyone else's take, aside from the inevitable comic shortening of the process to "MOO" or "DURR"?

Honey, while I appreciate your intelligent comment, this is exactly the kind of intelligent comment that devolves into a NO U thread within one half-page or less. I'll talk with you about it later personally, but let's let it lie here.

I'm... a little stunned. I think I had a very near conversation with someone from my Government class in high school. The irony was that he was talking to someone who was and is effectively unemployable and asserting that people without jobs were lazy. I had a lot of rage in that class. I nearly flipped over a desk once.

... I seem to recall calling humans "small-minded ass-ticks" in that class over something involving the environment.

Oh, man, I wish there were desks to flip instead of tables. I have been in a serious desk-flipping mood. My sympathies, I know you deal with more shit than most people.

It's a very apt metaphor.

Sorry for somehow assuming you read this post earlier, by the way |D

...yeah, I can't flip a table. I don't really deal with more shit, though, I just get angrier more. 8D

It's cool! I need to be more prompt about blogs anyway.
