Too good to not be posted...
This was in response to a comment in my last post. The situation (which wasn't really a situation, but a misunderstanding of a multispecific nature) has since been resolved, but this is just good stuff.

1. Honestly, I'm far more bugged by the word 'yr' than 'cracker'.
I'm bothered by yr bad punctuation and lack of knowledge of riot grrrl slang, but that's pretty fuckin' nitpicky.
Yeah, I was going to mention that comment, that was petty and completely unnecessary. Y'all know my typing goes south when I'm all heated up, but even I got the riot grrrl thing.
2. Believe what you like; I can't really change that, other than to say that you're not correct.
Other than to say it's your opinion that she's not correct. Because I happen to think that she is, completely. Definitely more abrasive than I (♥), but filled with scads of truth.
But you're looking with your pride, and that's the one thing that we're trying to strip away because it's not going to work. When you come here with your boy scout's sash and your patches for "being a good person" "no racial motivations" "intellectual prowess" "always having the right answers" "not needing to learn anything" then you come off as defensive and rude.
The grammar lesson proved that whether it was intentional or not. What you need to do now is look past all of that to the message of what was really being said, which is, "You've got some things to work on."
Think about that when giving your response. This isn't you against anyone, it's about you taking an active step to understand another point of view and maybe alter your own if you feel it needs it.
