English Language & Usage: Multi-Layered Discourse Room

I am answering it

Ok. I think the OP doesn't understand a gerund

@simchona I've avoided gerunds

I've probably answered it wrong :)

I commented

trg787

8:23 AM

@trg787 a "gerund" isn't a food, it's a grammar thing

@Matt +1 for adopting the "doing is a gerund' in your answer. Upvoting you now

I will keep my accounts after all.

Is that the real @Jasper Loy?

yay!

Welcome back. I'm so happy to see you.

((hugs))

user19161

Robert Cartaino has kindly sent me an email explaining things, and I have also read what Grace said. I have told Robert to keep my accounts and I have removed the 'please delete me' too.

good

user19161

I want to add that I am not an attention-seeker. It was only my intention to chat with the regulars and not attract attention from public. In my enthusiasm I had forgotten that the transcript is publicly available for all time.

burbles with happiness

hey @JasperLoy

user19161

@Jez Hello, and we should not talk about L anymore.

user19161

For those of you who have disclosed to me personal info, I won't disclose it here, so don't worry.

Jez

maybe we should talk about...

:-D

user19161

@MattEllenД No skiving during office hours.

user19161

@Jez No skiving during office hours.

9:46 AM

@JasperLoy awww, but, oh alright.

Hi @JasperLoy. It seems I missed more drama when I took the day off. NIce to have you back, all the same.

Hmm. That sounded nicer in my head.

user19161

In all seriousness, I want to make a public apology if I ever said anything inappropriate. Feel free to delete my words or suspend me. But I will remain who I am though I will remember not to say certain things here from now.

I don't think you said anything inappropriate. Risquê perhaps, but no more than the rest of us.

user19161

@Rhŵdri You should not quit either. I hope you get over it too like I have.

Alenanno

What happened?

user19161

9:50 AM

@Alenanno Just read the transcript yesterday. :)

Alenanno

How do I do it?

@JasperLoy Sorry but my issue is directly with Jeff's behaviour, and there are no signs of that being remedied.

user19161

@Alenanno chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/95

user19161

That is the address for this room.

I don't know, I turn my back for one minute... :-)

user19161

9:53 AM

@Rhŵdri You wouldn't know unless you read the entire transcript. But I agree with you that why I said so much is because the others did too.

That's a rather lovely gravatar, @JasperLoy

user19161

@Rhŵdri That is because I felt frustrated yesterday. I still do, but not over this matter anymore, so I may change it soon.

user19161

If Robert is in NYC, he sent me the mail at midnight. I told him I don't deserve this kind of attention.

user19161

@Jez It is a good idea to stop posting pictures too. They attract a lot of unwanted attention.

@JasperLoy For some of us, midnight is early.

Jez

9:58 AM

@JasperLoy from prudes.

Who don't comprehend 'incomprehensible'.

user19161

@Jez Anyway this time action was taken because people were talking about it in the other rooms, and how this could make L uncomfortable. They could at least have just dropped a note here telling me directly, but case closed.

user19161

Goodness knows why they talk about things in this room in the other room. That is called spying.

I think it's called gossip ;)

user19161

I believe in treating people sincerely. A president and a beggar I treat in the same way.

user19161

An adult and a child I treat in the same way.

user19161

10:05 AM

And for everyone's info, though Kit is smart, a lot of her speculations about me are not correct either. :)

user19161

So don't believe her guesses about me, and just take what I say literally.

I hope I didn't say anything to upset you, in chat, yesterday.

user19161

@MattEllenД No, and neither did Kit. It's just that I was surprised at her extrapolation.

user19161

And I also do not deserve all this attention from you kind people.

@JasperLoy it's not the receiver who decides what they deserve :)

10:11 AM

Speaking as a Christian, "deserving" has nothing to do with it. You're stuck with us ;-0

@Jasper!!!

Now my day is good.

user19161

@Cerberus Good!

I just read your e-mails.

I'm glad you liked Aedia's card.

user19161

12:25 PM

@grace @mana I am back.

Grace Note

Welcome back, @Jasper!

Things feeling any better now?

user19161

@GraceNote Robert sent me an email explaining things and I replied that I will keep my accounts. I also told him you were doing a great job, but no need to treat me when you get promoted tmr.

Grace Note

I'm glad you're sticking around.

So am I!

Me too!

Of course there were some sentences in his email that I could interpret in multiple ways, but it doesn't really matter what he thinks of me. I think everything is cleared up now. I agreed that the messages should be deleted, and told him to delete other things he might think are inappropriate as well.
