Justice?

So what is the point you are trying to make with your "Islams" term?

Read the Christianity or Atheism threads and you will see that I have no allegiance or sympathy for any theistic religion. However, I fail to see the point in using incorrect terminology to discuss them beyond some childish 'you can't make me say your name correctly' sort of protest. Is that the extent of it?

I really don't understand all the drama over this.
The majority of people who read my post know who I was referring when I said "Islams" and obviously you did too for you to 'correct' me. ;)
However, you and Disco continue with the pedanticism.

It's widely suspected here in the UK that Thompson is in Oz somewhere.

That's the scary part Freezer.
And due to the fact that he was a minor when he committed that crime, if he committed a new crime here...would anyone ever find out that the two are linked and would a jury know that he had history?
 
No need to get so wound up Livers. You were making a mistake and Pantera corrected you. It's really no big deal. Would you prefer he didn't correct you and just left you to keep on making the same mistake over and over?

Yes.
It's not Panthera or anyone's job to "correct" me like a school child.
I don't go around giving people spelling and grammar lessons and as long as I know what people mean then that is what matters.
End of matter.

This isn't a matter of spelling or grammar though Livers. As much as a pedant as I can be, I understand and respect the forum rules on those matters. You were using a misnomer and I was trying to understand why you persisted to do so even though you understood it as such?

It seems as if you just like to :stir ?

Willful ignorance is never a good look Scouser.

What ignorance?

I said to Disco I haven't corrected people on this forum regarding spelling or grammar and I stand by it.
His 'link' has not shown that either.

So please...continue...
 
My link wasn't an attempt to show that you'd corrected people Livers, it was to show that you'd said you thought correcting people was "good", "educational" and "fun".

I did say that because I was posting a funny pic from the union.

If I thought running around on the forum correcting people was fun, educational, and good...I'd do a hell of a lot more of it! ;)

And I will repeat myself and say that it wasn't your spelling, nor grammar, that I was correcting. I pointed out a misnomer that you were using and then when you continued to use it (the wilful ignorance that evo alluded to) I questioned your reasons for doing so.

Panthera,
Really...so what?
Whether I call Muslims "Islams" really doesn't make one iota of difference on this forum because the majority of readers know exactly what I am talking about when I used this word and that to me is more important.
I'm not writing a technical report on the history of islam to be read out to the Government....I'm typing an opinion on an informal footy webpage and as such I word my posts more informally than I would compared to writing a business letter at work.
FFS...I call Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, 'the Chairman' all the time and you haven't corrected me once yet... ;)
 
So its a nickname you have for Muslims? Gotcha. That was all I was looking for. I just couldn't for the life of me work out why you were doing it. I understand your use of 'The Chairman', but referring to Muslims as 'Islams' is beyond me.

As you were.
