What to do when this happens

Wow, quite the dichotomy! Maybe you should edit this by leaving out the word "nice". Better yet, cut to the chase and leave out the whole first sentence. Okay, now we have this pared down to a simple question: Why do have to be such an anal orifice? My answer, to quote Popeye The Sailor Man: "I ams what I ams."
Since you take exception to my critiquing others, maybe you won't mind a little criticism directed towards you? The use of the word orifice, preceded by anal is redundant. It's like using "mouth" directly before "orifice". Anal is an adjective meaning of or near the
. The is an opening and an orifice is an opening. In the future please refer to me as the opening at the end of the alimentary canal. Thank you for taking this in the spirit it was intended!Please allow me to be the opening at the end of the alimentary canal once again. 1 second is a very short time and I'm not that quick as evidenced by my reply to this post. But I am replying so you are partially right that I wouldn't put up with such talk or print as the case may be.
It is not about his spelling and I did understand what he typed, at least as far as what he typed! I believe he failed, probably for the sake of brevity to accurately tell the whole story. I will admit that I have never bought, sold or tried to register a motor vehicle in the great state of North Carolina. I will further admit that my DMV dealings are limited to the state of Minnesota. Even so I find it hard to believe that a DMV clerk would want to see a vehicle in order to assess a tag fee. I find it even harder to believe that a DMV clerk is empowered to make such an assessment based on a visual inspection. These clerks are bureaucrats and need written documentation like titles and sales receipts.
The following is a rhetorical question and does not require an answer: If you truly understood exactly what the OP was saying why didn't you offer some advice?
We all have varying degrees of education, typing skills, thought expression, patience etc. I personally think the small keys on smartphones are dumbing down our written communication skills. But like Bob Wolf pointed out earlier in this thread, use the "Go Advanced" option and take a minute to preview your post if you truly want it to be understood by most E.O. members.

Just guessing but if it is similar to the Android app you just press and hold on the post and it gives an option to modify.

Hey now! This is a family site.
relax, this is just truckers way of saying picking the nose,
why, what orifice you had in mind ?
My aural orifices are bleeding, and I'm gonna throw up through my oral and nasal orifices. It's OK to be rude when you're telling someone they're being rude. Moot can't spell technotard, and Bob can't spell maybe. And I ain't got no panties on.
When you Go Advanced, other formatting options, like table and bullet formatting, and superscript and subscript options, E=MC[SUP]2[/SUP].

But Johnny drinks no more
What Johnny thought was H[SUB]2[/SUB]O
Was H[SUB]2[/SUB]SO[SUB]4[/SUB]
(somebody will get that)
So, to answer Micheal and Linda's original question, yes, someone could tell you if they are from the state of North Carolina.
How do you pronounce Micheal? M'keel? Mitch-eel? Mick-eel?

To paraphrase Jumbuck: Ya know, Turtle you really seem like a nice, knowledgeable guy! Why do have to be such an anal orifice? People come to you for advice, not to be put down or insulted!
I just paraphrased Jumbuck and substituted your name for my name. Now Jumbuck will be calling you nasty names for pointing out his omission of the word "you".
If you call someone a nasty name and they really are that name, it is not nasty.
Now, one more time to try to explain and then I'm done with this....Newer less experienced drivers turn to you more experienced drivers, (as evidenced by the number of your posts) for much needed help and advice. They don't want smart-assed comments or rude, degrading, answers from someone they think might be helpfull to them. When you were in school, did it make you feel good to have a teacher insult you or call you "less than complimentary" names every time you asked a question? Hell, NO! You will eventually reach the point where you are hesitant to ask a darn question for fear of being put down! I KNOW this forum is NOT about that kind of crap! I have received a lot of valuable and helpful information on this forum,and I appreciate it, but I WILL NOT put up with being made to feel stupid just because my spelling or grammer may not be up to anyone's standards! If that's what this great forum supports, then I am outta here! Moderators, feel free to express your opinions on this!
I've always had a lot of respect for Moot, but I'm not so sure now. It seems he may truly be going off the rails. In another thread, it seems he wants male drivers to have their testicles removed and, I gotta tell ya, I really have a problem with that.
Probably due for a fishing trip.
