ORIGINAL: Perry S.

The problem with a thread like this is that the OP’s comments will be examined for correctness by its very nature. The die is cast by the words written. And unfortunately for the OP there are grammatical errors in his very posts while he is chastising others for such infractions. Unknown to him. If one wishes to throw down the grammar gauntlet (on an RC tank forum for some reason), they should really spend the time to make sure that their condescension’s are correctly parsed. If they do not have that capacity then they should have their posts proof read by others prior. It’s a common tense for internet trolling. As obvious as the clumsy attempt to show their mastery of the usage of ‘whom’ and the all too predictable escalation of vocabulary. Seriously, do you use the word ‘crepuscular’ on a regular basis? What is the intent in selecting that particular word? To show others that you know it and establish an intellectual high ground?<o

>So I would challenge the OP to go back through his posts, add in commas where needed and fix the dangling participles. I would recommend a review of this website before making such posts.<o

>http://www.grammarly.comAll in all this is what the teeny boppers would call an epic fail of a thread. Not being a teeny bopper I will simply cut and paste what was so eloquently stated above in this thread.<o

While you are busy judging, you are also being judged.
 And seriously, the last time I saw someone so happy to have completed their mission they were sitting at a Chic-fil-A drive through trying to berate the very pleasant attendant.<o

In a nut shell, why so smug bro? Bad day?

Feeling better now? I thought my feathers were easily ruffled. Sheese...

Please point out where I said my grammar is perfect and I'll gladly retract the statement. I'm sure you will find many errors in my posts. Did you
read where I made a blanket condemnation of everyone's writing? Please point that out to me. I'll retract that statement also.

Perry you've set a new standard in this thread and should teach us all a thing or two. Certainly you just turned up the antagonism a bit.
I'll promise to stop using 25 cent words; you teach us to avoid dangling participles.

As the 'OP' I pointed to one thing that I find mildly annoying. I could have just as easily said I dislike overdone weathering on a tank model.

The choice to aim posts at me directly was that of the responding poster. I singled no one out but responded when directly attacked. What did you
expect? That I would "turn the other cheek"? Guess again.

My day was perfect. Thanks for asking! There doesn't seem to be a Chic-fil-A outlet near me. Can't say I've tried Chic-fil-A but I believe I'd
prefer In-n Out burgers anyway.

Before everyone gets their popcorn out let's call it a day. It just isn't that important to rile everyone up. If the moderator wants to pull the thread
that's fine with me. I'm sorry I even brought it up. Please, go wild with your apostrophes. You have my permission to use any I forgot.
