Why is this such a big deal to you? I understand that you have an ax to grind with the elitist academic establishment you so proudly help further, but I made a comment to the effect of "check your damn work in your damn fiction and funny pictures" and have apparently started WWIII from the side of the grammar Nazis, intent on striking all creativity and spontaneity from informal writing. Rather an odd agenda for you to impose on my funny picture, since I'm sure that reading through a story or essay or whatnot and seeing that little jarring error bothers you just as much as it does me.

Now, while I'd love to get into some erudite mud-slinging about whose time in the stacks with old letters and documents is more significant and which of us has the bigger academic dick, I've got to get going. Work to do, under-classes to crush -- you know how it goes.

I find it so strange when people write some huge snarky comment and then when you respond they ask you why it's such a big deal. When someone challenges what I've said, I respond. Simple as that. You're the one who made the fandom secret about it. Why is this such a big deal to you? And I don't remember saying anything about creativity and spontaneity; I just said that when someone dashes something off I don't expect it to read as though it had been edited.

And that wasn't about big academic dicks or whatever; it was actually more, "No, the culture isn't grinding to halt. It was ever thus." I have no ax to grind with academia in either direction, nor do I find it to actually be all that elitist. Strange that you put all this agenda on what I said, or accused me of being a lousy teacher, or whateverthehell you said in your first comment to me.

The thing is, it doesn't bother me that much; I merely notice it. More importantly, I don't judge the person who made the error. THAT actually, really bothers me a lot—the constant ridiculous judging of people.
