If you drop discouraging comments like that this player is not gonna log in again and will never play this fun game with us. I don't feel like telling people here what to do, but I've seen this happen around here a lot. New player - poor first task - discouraging comments - never logged on again - never showed their awesomeness - never collaborated with us - never won an era.
Obviously you don't appreciate the style of this new player, but that's his choice and there are no rules on style here. Also I personally don't understand why this got flagged 5 times cause the task is actually fulfilled. Old stuff in the fridge - story. That's it, nothing else in the task description.
This probably isn't the best praxis but that's partly fault of this task that hasn't got much potential for awesome praxis but seems to be easy enough that almost everyone new on the site starts with this one. I just find it's a boring task.
And: Jurassic Marc, Welcome to the game!
I think Samantha means to highlight the word-usage of the original poster. My first impression was she was commenting on the content. However, on further inspection, I see that the words "shit... ass... fuck... shit... shitty... ass... shit... shit... damn... shit" appear in the write-up as originally posted.
In that meaning, Samantha is just drawing attention to a choice the poster made, and calling that decision into question. Honestly, this sort of language communicates a disinterest in our impression of the speaker. For an online community premised upon reputations for genuine, self conscious, authentic activity, I have never really seen this attitude blossom into a healthy drive for praxis.
So I don't think that Samantha is wrong to point out a linguistic marker that is out of place. When I read a praxis talking about "fucking this" and "goddamn that", I at least know that there is an emotion or frustration sought to be conveyed. Here, I have a harder time deciphering what is going on. That might be a desired effect though, coming off as humorously bumbling, including forgetting about being lactose intolerant. There is a sort of indifference to it which makes the punchline seem so funny to me. Mitch Hedberg style.
I am truly sorry if my first comment insulted anyone. I was merely repeating some of the words Jurassic Mark himself used in this very praxis.
I was simply a bit surprised at the amount of colorful language he used in this write up, I didn't mean to insult or discourage anyone.
in this single praxis these words appear:
shit-ass-fuck-shit-shitty-ass-shit-shit-damn-shit
I wonder what kind of statement this is supposed to make.
