Abuse of Generous Celebrities or No Big Deal?

[musicfan]

I don't see why you can't just type normally, it's actually easier since you don't need to hit Shift/Caps for every word.

lol..But Its Not That Big of a Deal...Thats How I Typed Forever...So Whats Is Wrong With It? I Could see If I Was Typing Like This: (hI mY nAME iS jORDAN), But My Typing Isnt a Big Deal...And Why Follow A Trend Because Everyone Else Is Doing It To? Why Cant I Type The Way I Been Typing For a Year? Why Tell Me This a Whole Year Into Me Being On Here? It Makes No Sense....lol...But Whatever.

But If You Can answer Me This I Will "Type Normal"...Whats The Big Deal? lol

It's not a trend.

Here's the thing, When You Type Like This... And Your Sentences Have Such Poor Structure, you look like you're both dense and shouting. Even if you're not, that's the impression you'll give many people. Sure, you can claim it's just a style, and we all have our own when it comes to texting or IMing friends and such, but on a public forum, you should at least have the courtesy to use proper grammar and sentence structure so others don't have such a hard time reading what you're writing.

I vote:

b) an abuse of a celebrity's generosity that may end up hurting other collectors if the celebs feel inundated

However, I do see a few exceptions. That's if someone sends a few different times after waiting about a year or so and sends different pictures based on a role the actor/actress has played, based on previous success quantities posted. As for VV, I think one should suffice. When it comes to sports, I check to see how many the player (or former player) signs TTM before deciding to send multiples.

And on a side note:

But If You Can answer Me This I Will "Type Normal"...Whats The Big Deal? lol

The way you type is considered bad etiquitte for bulletin boards. It is disruptive to read, not to mention downright rude. No one is questioning your intent. Rude is rude, even if unintended.

Poor Structure Meaning What? Like Spelling Words Wrong? Or What? And Shouting Is This:

---THIS WOULD BE SHOUTING....lol..But Im Not Doing That... And When I Type Like This People Dont Have a Hard Time Reading It Cause Its In English...They Are Being Picky And Now That Im Not (DOING THIS) They Have To Find Something Else Wrong With What I Do...lol..But Its Cool. Maybe I Will Start Just Communicating Through PM's...But Its Cool Everyone..

Actually I am not a he. I am a lady. And I was talking about putting a Cap at the beginning of every word.

You were asking not to long ago why people had a problem with you. A few things were pointed out: writing full words or sentences in caps, underlining, and writing caps at the start of every word, also the very frequent use of the word ...lol.
You promised improvement, but there hardly has been any. It's not so much picking on you, but pointing out the obvious. Because the way your write annoys a lot of people on here.

BuT WHATEVER...LOL....YOU CaN DO WHATEVER You WaNt TO Do....lol....lol.

this topic is about the abuse of celebs, not the proper way to type. so can we just get back on topic?

I feel it is an abuse and for every second or third success a person gets from the same celebrity it might be one another person whos a big fan and doesnt have their autograph might not get and its selfish and i feel ultimately hurts the hobby.And really why does one person feel the need to have so many autographs of the same person,it's not like the celebrity is your friend and you have made some kind of lasting connection with them,plus the more mail venues get the better the chance they will stop passing mail in the future so give other people a chance to have the autograph you already have...

Yes yes yes!!!

There are so many celebrities that do not sign TTM anymore, and I fully believe that it is due in large part to greedy autograph seekers that wrote too many letters. I have never requested nor received more than one autograph per celebrity, and I think that it is rude to ask for more than two or maybe three. If I were a celeb and one person was requesting 3+ autographs or writing to me multiple times, I would think that they were planning on selling them and it would probably make me upset.
