Okay, I know I said I was done on this thread but this is getting out of control, and I guess no one read that part *I’m not surprised* seeing how some people continue to post in response to me, but I won’t waste your efforts, I’m back! ^^

It was well established what you thought about the gender of Seth and Ursula, I was pointing out that how you worded your posts completely contradicted what you said.
My saying that living creatures have genders was to show Sturm that they resembled a creature that DID have a gender. Having the appearance of females was me telling Sturm that they DO look like females no matter what they really are. You picked two different arguments of mine and ran them together; of course it seemed to contradict.

A LIVING CREATURE AND HAVING THE APPEARANCE OF A FEMALE ARE NOT THE SAME THING
See the parts of the quotes I have bolded? They are the key words which contradict what you are saying. By saying that living creatures have genders and that both Seth and Ursula took form of one, that directly implies that you are saying they do have genders.
I’m just going to say it again because it seems like I have to always repeat myself around here.
I never said they were, you distorted my arguments and created your own, one that yes, contradicts what I was saying, but it was you who contradicted my statement from the start not me.
And me saying they look like females and took on the form of females does not contradict either, it’s me using different words to describe the same thing, you know like “This cake tastes bad.†and “The cake doesn’t have a very good taste.†Try expanding your vocabulary.

Flaming? I thought I told you not to do that. Oh, wait, you don't listen to what I say. That's also why you didn't see my implications that you should just ignore Sturm if you think he's being stupid that first time I talked to you. Instead, you basically asked him to say only nice things to you. And that was bound to fail, because Sturm is not a nice enough person to say only nice things.
I’m sorry Rhiannon; I don’t remember our first conversation. Was it in this thread? Anyways, I’m allowed to express my opinion or point and I wasn’t flaming until now. However, I never asked Sturm to say only nice things to me *oh wait maybe I did a while back…* that’s outrageous; I knew before I joined that Sturm is incapable of saying nice things. But it doesn’t hurt to ask…

No wonder you're using some words incorrectly. Don't you realize that "online dictionary" encompasses some of the worst dictionaries there are? Dictionary.com is a good example of a less-than-perfect online dictionary. At first, it looks just fine. And then, you look up a certain word, and you do not find the definition you're looking for, but instead you find propaganda. Not very reliable, if you ask me.
True, online dictionaries are not the most reliable; however, they’re not always wrong either. But when did I say I used them? Not everyone owns a dictionary so I was giving options for those who didn’t. I am a writer who has a dictionary for a right hand, I’ll find one almost anywhere in my home and will run to one of them first if truly in need. Now the dictionaries you find in the book store, The Merriam Webster Dictionary is always correct, I’ll trust that one. After being told that I misused the definition of ribbon I had to go check and guess what I found; I was again right!

I don't have to, I already know what a string is.
Really now? So why did you say I described a string instead of a ribbon, their definitions are not remotely similar? And if you truly knew what a string was you would have known that. I know what both a string and a ribbon are.
You know, it’s sad that the n00b *no offense* was the only one to understand what I had to say. Thank you for being the most intelligent person I’ve met on this board so far.
