I cannot help but have noticed that you comment on SoulBuilder101's blog. He has horrible sentence structure and very poor grammar, most of the time you have to step back and think for able to try and figure out what he is talking about. He really skips around and makes little sense, yet to praise him. No comments about his bad grammar there.
Why is that?
Does grammar and typos and such only count for those who do not agree with your religious views?
I figured you were one of those who did not care about my posts themselves, but was more worried about finding ways to make me look bad because of what I had to say. The typo thing was nothing more than an excuse to go after me. I'd seen it before and that was why I replied as I did.

First off, I really do not do much in the way of criticizing people., especially over such travail and anal stuff like typos. Seriously , typos are not a big deal at all. My guess is you are going after my religious beliefs and my openness about talking about them, which seems to bother some people. That is not criticism, but trying to express my beliefs.
Second, who ever said I can't take criticism. I take it very well actually. I make corrections and I do listen to good advice. It is just that the anal attitude of some people, who seem way too obsessed with typos above the actual content of the work annoys me to no end. Here on Blogit I have had people challenge my intelligence, my integrity and my honesty over typos Not over actual facts or being able to show I am mistaken in what I say, but over TYPOS. I have gotten to a point where anyone who starts to make a big deal over typos bothers me. So by starting off our relationship by you making what I see as anal comments over something as trivial as typos in a public forum, we got off on the wrong foot. If you understood how my mind works, you would see that I would never be able to write well if I was worried about typos above the content itself. I am getting better and better at fixing typos, but basically I am just not good at self editing.
Finally, if you really think my writing is so bad: bad grammar, idiotic sentence structure and so on, then don't read my stuff. I am curious about where you see all that though. I will openly admit to the typos. I know I make them and I do my best to correct them, it is just I can't spend hours worrying about possible mistakes in my posts here. My grammar is not bad at all and neither is my sentence structure. You might dislike my style of writing, but that is your problem.
As for your OPINION of me being a crappy writer, I have sold three stories and a handful of articles so far. Obviously you are not in the majority when it comes to your OPINIONS of my writing. Also, I would like to once more try to point out what kind of site this is, it is a public forum. I write what's on my mind and how I think. I am not writing professionally here nor am I trying to write something I would hand in as school work. The style you see here is very much unstructured because otherwise if would not be honest.

For someone that likes to criticize others as much as you do in your blogs, I'd expect you to be able to take a little critique on your writing. One or two typos is one thing, sweetheart; the plethora of bad grammar and idiotic sentence structure in your work is entirely another.
Of course, I don't expect you to let me go with the last word on this, so have at it, dear. If it makes you feel better to step on someone's face for pointing out what a crappy writer you are, have at it. No skin off my nose. I just won't read YOU anymore.

Sure, screw the story, screw the topic, screw making sense and having something real to say. You just better make sure you don't miss those typos or your writing is crap. if I worried too much about possible typos, my writing would stink and not be worth reading.
Sorry, but I have talked to professional writers, and while they will say you need to learn to self edit, they also say they miss typos all the time. Even the most professionally done book seems to get a typo or two left in it somehow.
It is the pinnacle of being anal to have such an issue on a public forum such as Blogit. You really do need to grow up some and learn to live with typos.

I doubt I could ever get used to poor editing. Good writers should concern themselves with the quality of everything they publish, even if it is only being posted in a blog.

I am well aware of my editing issues here. While I still may miss some of it, I have gotten much better and in my serious writing that I am trying to sell I do a fiar amount. Here on Blogit I just cannot afford the effort to worry about such things.
Hope that does not mean you will ignore my posts. My suggestion is just get used to it. I know I am far from being the worst one here. And even the most professional of writers make typos which get over looked by editing.

regarding your member profile:
Writers don't "wirte", they write. Noticed quite a few typos and grammatical errors as I read your blogs. You may want to embrace the fine art of editing.
