Repayment?

[Zigner]

I have had a college literary level since I was 12.

Awesome...of course, at the age of 9 I was reading my mother's college engineering text books because I was bored...but hey, you go ahead and flaunt your superiority all you want.

If I came off as the world's expert on everything, that was entirely accidental.

I even mentioned somewhere that I will not pretend to be an expert on law.

I understand that people have been here awhile (I am apart of other forums) but obviously I had the right intentions by offering others advice. I like to contribute a little to forums I have gained something from (meaning I obviously feel like something was gained here).

Perhaps there is miscommunication on both ends, as I have expressed how certain comments have come across as rude to myself.

I have thanked every member here for advice given and offered witty humor as well (though apparently it may be too harsh).

Thank you earnestly for the advice though, you are definitely better at expressing your feelings.

As far as the typo I was quoted making earlier, I'm not so petty to edit my post like that . . . I am not a computer, humans make typos. That doesn't reflect my ability to write. I simply mentioned it to begin with because my earlier post was being critiqued when I feel it was very clear in its message.

Again, not trying to push people's buttons. I would obviously be a lot better at it if I tried, considering how my posts are already offensive ._.

Uh-uh not a typo, not possible. "R" and "C" are not next to/above or below each other on the keyboard. Plus, you made the same mistake twice - that doesn't happen with typos. (Anyway, haven't you ever heard of proofreading?)

And OK, maybe you're not petty enough to edit your post after your error was pointed out (but hey! you wouldn't have been able to anyway after I quoted your errors), however you are petty enough to call the error a "typo" when it so clearly isn't. Why not just man up and admit you don't know as much about the English language as you've been boasting about (and not nearly as much as some of us here)?

Great way to quote half my sentence, as the beginning of it clearly stated the conditions necessary for no action to be taken.

I see you just like to argue over semantics for fun. What else would you like to debate over?

The problem is, this being a *legal* forum, is that a lot is dependent on "semantics". People usually attempt in their initial post to put themselves in the best light. Sometimes their problem is that they are focusing on the wrong thing(s), but more often they are omitting important details that would show the legal situation is much different from what they initially described.

One of the problems I see with the original post is, what is the definition of "immediately". How "not immediately" was the discrepancy reported?

For example, if OP reported the problem the same day (hour) the discrepancy was discovered, that would look better than waiting a day. Or a week. But we do not know how long the problem existed before OP informed management. Or if in fact OP only informed management when confronted.

We also don't know why OP conducted his(?) own detective work, or what that consisted of.

Wow. There's no pleasing you is there?

As I said before, I am human. And when I'm not writing novels, yes, I use some slang on forums.

The term was not incorrectly used twice.

By typo I meant I used the wrong word. Easy to do when typing quickly and thoughts are racing through your mind.

I explained to you why the fact was even brought up in the first place, a very valid reason.

If you want to continue to argue over something so petty, continue with someone else please. I only posted on this topic to offer advice and then someone else tried to pick apart my post that made perfect sense.

I have marked posts when I edit them as well. So again, if you want to keep on with petty jabs then be my guest.

I have already expressed my feelings and that I was never intending to be rude to anyone. If you still believe that I am, that's on you. I don't really care.

If you want to discuss this further from a calm and communicative perspective, great. But if you just want to keep throwing insults and picking apart my posts, I guess we're done.

EDIT:

When I said argue over semantics for fun, that's exactly what I meant. Not "argue over semantics for legal purposes."

If the point was valid, I would have agreed. But my post was clear enough already, the jab was simply to debate.

To point this out to me just proves my point that people on this forum simply like to argue, because if you read my post, you'd understand the situation and why I posted the way I did.

 

[Alpha_Wolf_]

you really are obsessed with having the last word, aren't you?

Are you serious? After I messaged you privately to end this already?

If a post is ended with a question directed towards me, I am going to respond.

But as my post had nothing to do with you, it is obviously you that seeks the last word. I don't know what you're trying to accomplish.

If it's to annoy me, it's not working.

 

[Zigner]

Just - what a day, huh?

Just - what a day, huh?

Yep...what a day.

 

[tranquility]

I remember when I had my first beer here too...

 

[Alpha_Wolf_]

and there's the grab at the last word.


Jeez guy, apparently you don't mind being played. I was just trying to see how obsessed you really are. Apparently it has reached the level where medical intervention may be necessary.

They have medications for your problem.

and we'll see if he really can resist. I don't think he can. He is compelled to reply. He can't help himself.

Can't resist . . . . . . must . . . . . post . . . . . .

Must . . . . respond . . . . to arrogant . . . jerk . . . .

-Bows down to you-

You are the master of employment and legal advice!

Amen!

Cleanse me of my arrogance my compulsion please.

I'm sure with all the smart people here, there is at least one psychiatrist to help me with my addiction.

 

[Alpha_Wolf_]

there is one thing that will bother you more than not getting the last word. Want to know what that is?

Trying to fix things with you and still getting badgered? Yeah, that is pretty bothersome. For you.

 

[LdiJ]

Guys...give it a rest already!

And so now you write novels? Really? How...unbelievable.

And yes, you typed "literary" twice, in the same sentence, both times using it incorrectly.

And if you really believe that "literary" is slang for "literacy" and that a typo simply means using the wrong word when your emotions are running high, then, well, you obviously aren't nearly as literate as I thought you were (and I thought you weren't particularly literate at all, given your gross propensity for misunderstanding the English language).

Finally, I call troll. Esteemed Colleagues, let's stop feeding it. (Although I agree, it has been great fun setting all these traps and watching the troll fall into them so witlessly!) Hopefully said troll will get banned soon. cbg, I'm afraid you have completely wasted your time on this person.
