Yeah I agree there. You seem to understand what I'm saying despite my poor wording of it. Tera is acting out and acting differently intentionally.

Which I don't support.

So Tera, now that everyone on SWF hates you, you can still redeem yourself by posting nakkid pics


Or you can do something more simple ... you know ...


Like leaving.

This reminds me of about a month ago where I'd make a horrible joke in every post, so then 50% of SWFers would hate me.

I don't mind the third-person, but when members constantly complain about it, Tera still posts using that perspective. If Tera is trying to make other people dislike her, she's doing a pretty **** good job of it.

What I'm saying is that natural differences such as jumpiness, redundantness, habitual actions, and other such things shouldn't be measure in stones but rather in water. Forget the small stuff and look at the person.
Yes, there are innate things about people that make them who they are; a stutter, their syntax, etc. But, what I think you fail to realize is that some people make up such characteristics to pretend to stand out. When Tera says she always talks in third person, which in itself is a self centered lie, we are seeing the person; an attention glutton. Simple as that.

So if some one misspells words because English isn't their first language, we won't jump on them and tell them they are annoying beyond communicable bounds. However, if a person starts capitalizing every other letter they write because "it is them", then we will berate them for being stupid.

Agreed. We seem to understand one another now so there really is no more cause for debate.

I dunno, I half-agree.

I don't think the value of the post is any lessened by using third person, and I don't care if someone makes up a small lie to stand out if the content of the post is good.

For example, Crimson King often misspells a word or two, for no reason other than being lazy (another character trait), and I don't think his post quality is lessened one bit by that.

Leave the girl alone...if she wants to talk in third person, let her. If something so trivial as that provkes you all to the point of hating her, then wow. I really could care less how she talks as long as she gets her point across; it's a little annoying, yes, but that is all it is.

I don't support her talking in 3rd person to garner attention but I don't hate her either. I already stated that talking in 3rd person doesn't bother me. By the way, that's a hella nice avatar B-Will.

I don't hate Tera, and I don't think she originally started typing in the third person to annoy every one (though I still think it is a stupid effort to show one's self as unique). But now, after knowing that a lot of people abhor her plea for attention (that actually doesn't bother me too much), she seems to flaunt and savor annoying people with it. Now that, that bothers me.

I don't hate her either, I just find her post style annoying.

I just like arguing.

I don't hate Tera nor do I think her(assuming Tera is a girl....most likely not though) talking in third-person is annoying. If anything, I enjoy reading her unique posts.. but then again*looks at location*. I guess I must be the 10% of SWF who doesn't get annoyed by 3rd person, and the only member who enjoys it. In conclusion, as my math teacher always tells me "If you see it, SHOOT IT."

You want to know what I think?

I think that this is supposed to be "Member Trademarks," not "Let's get together and talk about Tera253 like 7th grade girls."

Xsyven has trademarked being annoying, and I'm pretty sure Joshcube has trademarked a lil something as well.

Meh. If I pissed you off at one point it may be wise to remind me what I did so I can apologize accordingly but I have no clue why you detest me.

I almost forgot Kokichi's trademark end word, chi.

I've trademarked being completely amazing.

Also, Eorlingas is really good and calling out people who suck in Creative Minds.

Speaking in third-person isn't a trademark thing because you rip it off others. It's just ****ing annoying.

Other than that, most members who have distinct characteristics or trademarks, as you said, probably got some idea from a book or movie and it seeped into their subconscious. It happens with a lot of my friends for sure.
um call me stupid or slow but what does speaking in third person actually means crimson King?:confused:

It means you say your own name, instead of I.

Xsyven thinks it's time to go to bed. He has to wake up early tomorrow.

^ Like that.

That basically summarized me. I type extremely fast and I usually have no desire to go back through it for spelling mistakes. If Firefox doesn't catch it, I don't really care.

whoa. it seems that now this is the "do you hate Tera253" thread. that's fine by Tera's standards. she's not in control of whether or not people hate her.

and no, the initial reason for Tera talking in 3rd person was NOT to be annoying.
