dude, seriously, you miss the point - pyonir did not correct anything, rather he/she/it just pointed out the mistake.

Pyonir gave you all the information you needed to know for you to correct it on your own. This isn't grade school - we're not gonna hold your hand. Hopefully, you are smart enough to figure these things out on your own. Right?

Can you actually guarantee that? Of course not; after all, you don't have a clue as to what information is or is not available to moderators and admins... or what they do with that information once they get it.

Yes we do. That's all pretty much common knowledge.

So you agree it was inaccurate of pyonir to use the term "To correct.. spelling mistakes" instead of "To point out.." ? that's my point, hope you finally get it

I "get it" just fine - you asked how it was spelled... I asked you if you knew how you could find it on your own by going to Dictionary.com. I understand that you were trying to point out to Pyonir that he didn't "correct" you, but to everyone else in the world, it just looks like

1) you don't know how to spell it
2) you either don't know how to find the correct spelling or you're too lazy to look.

I'm just saying how it looks to everyone else, no matter how clever you think you're being.

 
Not sure why you refer to pyonir as "he", from the icon it looks more like a she, but of course it could be anything in between

Because some of us have been around long enough to infer that Pyonir is a he. Unless, of course, Pyonir is a lesbian who enjoys scantily clad women on desktop wallpaper.

Then again, this is one more instance where you could have searched the information out on your own.
 
well, while on my way to frys to pick up some ram that i had asked you about before, i found this prositute making out with a fellow AT member, i bashed him because of how ugly the hoe was, but then he started a fasinating story about how humans need this and such. he even showed pictures of pie charts of how prositution is good for our nation. i laughed in his face and said that most would agree.

I'm not sure if NSFW would fit the poll's question (if that's what you meant?)

Well you originally asked what kind of threads attract your attention. So anything that says NSFW attracts mine... But now the thread title has changed to a different question :|

Hmmm... have you considered an anger management class or another form of therapy ?

Yes but the counselor always asks me the wrong question, and next thing I know I'm dating his sister and end up in jail.
