Off topic but dealing with the thread.....

I may not agree with how Pedro responded (it was wrong in my opinion), but I do think criticizing someone on their grammar while not adding to the thread is a slap. Not everybody on here has the best grammar, can type well, or is trying to impress with the typing.

I see misspelled words on this board everyday, and I am king of the run on and on and on sentences. It doesn't make what is said any less significant. We must remember, people who post here for the most part, post out of seeing something that heightened their emotions (hence the fights and the demeanor that we take on here at times). These people may type in a hurry and lose that grammar, so be it, it's not about the grammar to me it's about the point being made.

We have all made transgressions on this board, I have made many in my few months. I think finding fault with someone's writing abilities is not the reason we are here. At least not the reason I am here. I am here to share, learn and hopefully inspire someone. I am here to be a part of a good group of people that seem to truly care about each other at times, and hate each other at times. Sounds like family....

We post some personal things here and we trust each other, whether it's because we are talking to strangers who are just words on a screen or because some of us may think we have made a true friend or 2 here.

Anyway, sorry for rambling, but as always I felt the need to put my 2 cents in and it turned out to be $1.50.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
