I love the internet. Valid arguments (or sometimes valid) between anonymous posters continue on and on until they are derailed by grammatical critiques.
This is a fair point, and I hate people being grammar Nazis, too. However, there was no need for Eddie to inject a snarky comment into a joking message thread, especially considering the fact that Eddie's statement was factually incorrect. I thought it'd be funnier to point out the error rather than the lame and pointless attempt at insulting Beat LA.
This is the first time I've ever played Internet grammar police; it's kinda fun 
I'll probably never have another opportunity in this regard, so allow me to say that, and even if it's only been for the last 2-3 games, Danuel House Jr IS. DAT. DUDE. I think 
.
No worries it's just a forum. I've said crazier things that drive most readers nuts 
Lol, yeah. It's nice to see him playing so well, though.
Why exactly is that? Do you have him on a fantasy team? Are you related to him somehow? Is he like a friend of yours? Did you make some Triboy/Jordan Mickey prediction about him you want to somehow come true to show off what a great scout you are? Are you an Aggies alumni? Is the fact he is Eddie House's distant relative pertinent to any of this? Exactly, why does House having 2 good games in his whole career make him Dat Guy?
I honestly have no idea as to whether or not he's related to Eddie House in any capacity, although you and I did, in fact, argue over, well, whether or not we should sign Danuel "Not Daniel" House as an undrafted free agent in 2016, but no, that's not why I mentioned him.
Holy comma. 7 in a run-on sentence is a tough mark to beat.
That's not a run-on sentence tho
Yeah, it actually is.
Run-on sentences can be divided into two types. The first occurs when a writer puts no mark of punctuation and no coordinating conjunction between independent clauses. The second is called a comma splice, which occurs when two or more independent clauses are joined by just a comma and no coordinating conjunction.
I just bolded the coordinating conjunction in Beat LA's sentence- the coordinating conjunction which did, in fact, connect two independent clauses. Also worth noting: a grammatically-correct sentence can contain many dependent clauses.
", although" is also a conjunction. I see 3 separate clauses joined together by 2 conjunctions.
It does appear that after carefully reading through the sentence in question, it is grammatically correct. However, I can assure you no editor would ever allow it to be published, as is. The key is whether or not the individual clauses can stand on their own. That singular sentence could have been more cleanly conveyed in two separate sentences that are much easier to read and comprehend, without all the extra, unnecessary interjections (i.e. "in fact", "well", and "but no").

Are you joking right now? You're literally an e-bully. No idea why anyone puts up with it. Just one person al attack after another.
I fail to see how, whether accurate or not, correcting someone's grammar is a personal attack or bullying. I realize it's just a post on an internet discussion board, but it sure is a lot easier to comprehend proper grammar than the alternative. Maybe it's a bit pedantic, but it most certainly is not bullying.
