I'm twelve. I'm a Grammar Nazi. I'm a Jew, actually. I joined the Grammar Nazis hoping to become famous enough that people would know my name offhand. But what I didn't realize was that by joining these Grammar Nazis, I would get stereotyped. I see people in the Chatter Box running scared when they see the words "Gaian Grammar Nazi" in a signature. It's annoying. I'm not naming names, but some of you Grammar Nazis are so freaking ELITIST! You think that because you've gotten into a cool guild, you're automatically going to be worshiped. People hate us because of what we do. We go into threads and start flame wars. We get blood flowing. We insult and ravage threads to the bare bones. That won't help anybody but you and your savage lust for pride. The people we tell off aren't going to run away to Grammar School. They'll come back worse than ever and with a keen eye for Grammar Nazis. People HATE us. That's all I wanted to say. Well, not really, but that's all I could think of saying right now.

You joined, though. Did you expect the world to go out and start learning grammar also? I joined for the title and to be around intelligent beings. If I can jump in a flame war every now and then, that's just as great. You're obviously not one who likes confrontation and it's not necessarily your duty to flame people. Well... yeah, it is, but there are other ways of correcting grammar.

Blah. Waking up at 12:30pm sucks most times.

Heheheh oh, you kids. These guys aren't elitist as much as they are scary-intelligent. It's the pseudo-intelligentsia who are elitists.

And you probably won't gain "fame" by joining the Grammar Nazis. Instead, just post a lot. 97% of the really famous Gaians were never involved in any grammar-related guild.

I admit to being elitist and to starting flame wars, but you know what? None of that is related to being a grammar nazi, the flame wars I start are rarely related to spelling or grammar, though I might make a few comments about that, if necessary.

I doubt any of us expect to be worshipped, most people do indeed hate us. That includes quite a few of these so-called "famous" people.

We go into threads and start flame wars. We get blood flowing. We insult and ravage threads to the bare bones.
We?
Some of us, yes.
But not all of us.

If you don't want to be associated with the flaming, then don't flame. Or put something in your signature along the lines of "I'm a nice grammar nazi". Or you could just quit the guild. That'd work too.

Dude? You joined a group called the GRAMMAR NAZIs. What the ******** do you think we're going to be like? Skippy happy flower power freaks? Dude. Look at our ******** Guild's name. What do you THINK we're going to be like?

You just said that that was the reason you joined. Make up your mind.

You did contradict yourself, like nsudino pointed out.

I understand what you mean about the elitist bit--I don't really agree with it either, but that's their right. They get to choose to act that way. We can't make that choice for them.
Spelling and grammar are black-and-white, right-and-wrong issues (usually). There's set rules that can be broken. Behavior has no such rules, so no one, me or you or Carlos F. Keezer or anyone, has the right to dictate how someone should act.
If you don't want to be associated with the more aggressive GGNs, do as lady Gracefallen has suggested and state in your sig that you're not one of the "mean" GGNs.
If you disagree so much that even that won't work, still listen to Gracefallen: Simply quit the guild. It's not like you're forced to be in it, and you can still correct grammar when not a member of the GGN guild.

-E- Thanks, nsudino. *wink*

I'm twelve. I'm a Grammar Nazi.

Welcome to the Dark Side.

Pavement
I'm a Jew, actually.

Yeah, right. Schiksa.

Pavement
I joined the Grammar Nazis hoping to become famous enough that people would know my name offhand.

That's your reason for joining? s**t, the guild was formed because one guy and his wife were pissed off about the gangrape of the English language that was (and still is) the Chatterbox.

We're all comrades rallied under one leader (see: Evil Overlord) and one cause: putting the punctuation back in "ne1 want teh sex?!" If you joined just to get famous, leave.

Pavement
But what I didn't realize was that by joining these Grammar Nazis, I would get stereotyped.

It's not a stereotype: we're a**l-retentive bastards. And we are proud of this label.

Pavement
I see people in the Chatter Box running scared when they see the words "Gaian Grammar Nazi" in a signature.

Wow, really? The dumbasses I encounter usually get hostile, and just beg for an ******** (approx. 2.8 ********, according to the Sharkey measurement of dry volume) of a**-handing.

Pavement
It's annoying. I'm not naming names, but some of you Grammar Nazis are so freaking ELITIST!

THANK YOU, CAPTAIN OBVIOUS! YOUR JOB IS DONE HERE!

EDIT: ******** 'R' key...

And this is going in my sig. Oh, yeeesss...

Pavement
You think that because you've gotten into a cool guild, you're automatically going to be worshiped.

Well, you joined under this premise, so I suppose you're right.

Now sit in your corner and just think about what you did.

Pavement
People hate us because of what we do. We go into threads and start flame wars. We get blood flowing. We insult and ravage threads to the bare bones.

Oh, so any thread which abuses the English language (or possibly any other language) has a valid reason to exist? And what might that be? People post in the CB for gold. They don't have to intentionally slaughter the English language for virtual goodies that do absolutely nothing.

Pavement
That won't help anybody but you and your savage lust for pride. The people we tell off aren't going to run away to Grammar School. They'll come back worse than ever and with a keen eye for Grammar Nazis.

Apparently, you didn't read the FUQ. Go back, read over it, and then you might understand that the GGNG doesn't just flame people. They usually take the effort to correct before flaming the tar out of people.

Pavement
People HATE us.

No s**t.

Pavement
That's all I wanted to say. Well, not really, but that's all I could think of saying right now.

Then you should cease thinking forthwith. God, for a Jew, you're dumb. Your post almost made me think that Hitler had the right idea.

Almost.

This bears no reflection upon the Jewish people as a whole, really. I know many Jews, and none of them are this stupid. For that matter, what does being Jewish have anything to do with being a Grammar Nazi?

Well, Oh-mi-kaze just said everything I would have said.

But yes, I think of my self as an elitist. Not in the guild. Just in general. Real life included. There's nothing wrong with having an ego.

You joined the guild just to be popular, so isn't obvious that most are better than you? neutral

Yeah, I am a b***h. I know.
PostPosted: Sun Nov 14, 2004 6:47 pm


The act or practice of engaging in disputes is the number one skill among us 'elitists' in the GGN, so drop it and move on. We're not trying to be anybody's "friends."

I'm 24. I can vote. You cannot. I'm thankful for small favors.

I've taken your suggestions and made them into a small presentation:

Pavement's Suggested Gaian Grammar Nazi Agenda

1. Finding homes for unwanted household pets
2. Saving the whales
3. Using only recycled paper
4. Finding rainbows and writing poems about them
5. Finding new reasons to love ourselves and our fellow man
6. Other assorted faggotry


Please compare and contrast with:

dj medieval's Suggested Gaian Grammar Nazi Agenda

1. Discover the light of happiness wherever it may be and violently extinguish it, sort of like the Amish.

Okay, I've been told off. I'll be in my secluded corner, thinking about what I've typed. I am a Jew though.
I should've known better than to say what I really felt among you war-mongering Nazis anyway.
