I don't agree with Chris fully, but he just made some sense there.

What he's saying is that because he has bad grammar, it's his fault for putting himself in a place where bad grammar is frowned upon. But cubing is his hobby, so why should he not be allowed to post on a forum that is related to his hobby, just because of a disability? That seems very, very wrong.

It also seems that his only goal is to prove others wrong, which isn't a very likable quality in a person.

It's not exactly an award that someone would want, so not being able to help it makes it unfair. So...I don't know. That's just sort of...uhhh, wow. I don't know.

So since you don't want to win it, it is 'unfair' to have him win it?
That's odd.

But if he was nominated for best grammar he COULD win it? Because it isn't bad? So that's fair? I see a flaw in your logic.

anyway, if he posts here, he can win the award. He put himself into a situation where bad grammar is frowned upon even though he had a disability (from what jcuber said) and uses bad grammar anyway. He put himself into the running by posting here.

I'm sure Edward doesn't WANT to win biggest post whore, but it's unfair because he can't contain himself from making countless posts. So he CAN'T win it, it's just not fair!

I saying you shouldn't protest him winning some award because of a disability. If this was really sooooo important that his life would change, he wouldn't have posted here to begin with.

Stop taking it out of context and realize that these awards aren't the end of the world, nor are they super serious life-changing awards.

********.

You wouldn't give a paraplegic kid the award for 'Worst Runner' in a school, would you? Even if the award itself was just a bit of a joke?

A disability is something you can't help. He can't help having bad grammar/spelling, so he should be excused. I'd nominate Yoruichi (Alex Yu) because I've talked to him in IRC and I know he can do better, he's just lazy.

Of course Edward can help not being a massive post whore. I used to have a sup 5 ppd and I got it down to about 2.8 a little while ago because I decided to try and stop posting crap.

Realise that despite these awards not being the end of the world, nor super serious life-changing awards, it's nevertheless seriously offensive to tell somebody they are the worst at something despite not being able to help it.


A change of the name of the award would be much better, how about "laziest poster"?
 
Considering shoot1510 made a thread asking the forum as a whole for help with grammar, then actually made some improvements afterward, means he doesn't really deserve the award. The winner should be someone who has total disregard for the rules of grammar, not someone who struggles with them.

Agreed. There are plenty of people more deserving of the award anyway. For example, any poster who has used the argument "HURR DURR STOP PICKING ON ME THIS ISN'T ENGLISH CLASS" as an excuse after we confronted them about bad grammar.

Besides, the one post by shoot1510 that deserves to win some kind of award this year deserves to win it for reasons other than grammar: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showpost.php?p=121033&postcount=4

Well if he is trying to use good grammar then I have to agree with David.

Has no one noticed that my PPD is going down more and more every day? I don't post AS MUCH as everyone is making it seem (well lately anyway).

Edward, I for one, kinda feel bad inside when people pick on you.
(Because I did it a little bit too.)

I personally, think you've improved since elcarc. d:
