Ever since I made a new set of aliases for my role-play that have the words role-play in them I've found that people pm me without me even having to post an ad about role-play. This really was brilliant, especially when I put the word "female" in it people jumped to pm me. However great this is, it's been a mixed bag. Now that I have the word female and role-play in my alias I tend to get a lot of people whom I'd never role-play with. My grammar and spelling suck probably more than most people, however I do believe that I have reached a certain level of spelling or grammar that it is at least obvious how hard I try to maintain it. Justification for my bad grammar or not, I tend to judge people pretty harshly if they pm me. The judgement I use in pms tend to revolve around font size and grammar. The basic grammar I'm looking for is capitalization and endings on sentences. This is quite the basic grammar and spelling which should also include purposely spelling words wrong for the sake of laziness as a prereq. It's so funny though how if someone successfully identifies me as being judgmental they think they have me in some sort of corner. Now that they've identified me as judgmental they thing they have me on the ropes, that I must either defend myself or withdraw my judgments for simply being judgmental is too horrible to ever accept as a truth. However, I find my judgmental behavior to be a great and wonderful tool. It lets me throw out role-play requests that are simple not worth my time. The negative connotation that goes along with the idea of judgmental is one that is very telling of whether or not the speaker understands the word judgment. To judge something is a very important skill. For instance, judges in our court of law are not seen as evil horrible people for being judgmental but rather upholders of justice. So do I see myself as upholding justice? No not at all, there is a better comparison. The judgmental attitude of a boss whom is hiring new employs will easily give them an edge up on not hiring people whom will be a waste of money to train. This judgmental attitude saves them huge amounts of time and money therefor making it one of their most valued aspects as a person. So, when it comes to being judgmental I see it as nothing but a compliment. Anyone who thinks I must concede must rethink their position and get a new understanding of judgmental behavior.
