Timi nai Muta na ta CZAR. Jokes aside, what exactly do you mean by , "This thread has turned into a textbook case of it, if ever I saw one." ???? Mind you, given that you have more understanding and have affluent knowledge of English, certainly much better than the 7th graders; We/I certainly do not belong to your categorized 7th grader skills either. I firmly believe some people have passion for writing, and thus they search/investigate for new and perhaps better way of expressing their thoughts/creations. But some of us would often use our limited knowledge and vocab to express our thoughts, and we are satisfied with it, as long as it can convey our INTENDED msg. If you have a problem with it, you are better off joining some writing club or the likes to satisfy your quest for your intellectual curiosity. Just the way you are agitated by the attack by some posters regarding the highly intellectual words, perhaps they are agitated by your STUPID comment as well. Always remember, there are different kinds of people and "to each to their own." Your way of looking MANY NOT be the ONLY way to look. "Making no effort to learn to rise above their inadequacies, there seems ZERO effort to learn. The aim is to drag everyone down to the level of the reeking pits they inhabit. Reveling in their inferiority, they snarl when they encounter any thoughts they are unable to comprehend. " Here again you are making a personal judgment to other people calling them "inadequate". How do you know they are making ZERO effort to learn. And what gives you right to call other people's level are "DOWN" and "REEKING PITS THEY INHABIT". Agreed you might know a lil more than average tom/dick and harry, mind you I personally am speaking for mahself and am no less than you, and i believe there are many more. Its just that you make such an effort to LEARN and USE your vocab and writing ( which is commendable) that you could put together your thought to make it look more like a literature class type. And i must say, not all those writings are worth reading, let alone demands an understanding from people who has OTHER INTERESTS as well. So watch what your are writing, coz terming other peoples level as "down" and using terms as " reeking pits they inhabit" only speaks volume of your imbecility. "If you can't hack it, LEARN. More importantly, let go of your fragile EGOs and APPRECIATE those more skilled than you. Do not ATTACK others for your own failings" ---- I personally do make an effort to LEARN every now and then, but am not obsessed with it. And i do appreciate your skill, enuff said. How about trying to understand others? Or do you think those who do not have as good a command in English as thee, are not worthy of your time. you say "Do not ATTACK others for your own failings" and yet you are doing the same; yes you failed to understand the mass and now your are attacking THEM. Practicing what you are preaching might not be a bad idea for you. Just a suggestion. I could actually pick on almost every paragraph of yours. But I am already tired. ya see, its not my passion (writing). At last, I was really curious if you could let me know Wot "text book case of it" you were talkin about. you think you are so much better, don't you? you know wot, do not answer, that was a rhetorical question. And by the way, i don't think seasoned sajha readers had observed that most of sajha's talented writers have fled to more welcoming environment. Even if they did, it would serve you good if you remeber the name SAJHA. Its as much theirs ( those who are relatively new and pops in once in a while) as it is yours. And pleaseeeeeee, don't give us crap by saying "most", coz there are plenty of talented writers here in sajha. Those who left, did it by their own conscience. Do not BLAME others for that. Its up to them to create a favorable environment. Life is no bed of roses and no one can expect to have everything their way. In any case, change is inevitable. I agree with confused bro. And NO. I have not even given it a passing thought. Period. And yeah, I do agree with you regarding next Arundhati Roy or Pico Ayer "thing". It would be great if that happens. I can see some of them are already on their way. Lu ta, aru bhaneko tyastai ho... thakit bhaye ma... aba ekchin My Lady ko janchu ;), Hara-kiri Garnu :p IndisGuise;)
