Yes, Grammar is important.

Anne Rice posted a link to this story on her facebook page a little bit ago:

It's about an Arkansas School Board member who is resigning in the wake of an uproar caused by the following comments he made on his personal facebook page:

Seriously they want me to wear purple because five queers killed themselves. The only way im wearin it for them is if they all commit suicide. I cant believe the people of this world have gotten this stupid. We are honoring the face that they sinned and killed thereselves because of their sin. REALLY PEOPLE.

What a cockbag. 

I can see why there was an uproar demanding his resignation.  Even if his words weren't hateful and mean and wrong - I'd sure be pissed if I'd elected a man to sit on the local schoolboard and later learned he communicates using nonwords such as "thereselves". 

REALLY PEOPLE.

  1. I was already annoyed with the fact that there was no comma after "seriously", and that he wrote "im wearin". By the time I got to "thereselves", I thought it was a joke. For crying out loud, it's "theirselves". REALLY PEOPLE. Haha.
