It's spelled 'finicky.'

Of course we aren't. Even if Hyperion can't capitalize at the beginning of a sentence, and you didn't put a comma after 'Is it me,'.

So, it's definitely you. We aren't nit-picky at all.

You put the comma in his quote as if his post had a comma. Plus, punctuation goes inside quotes, and the hyphen in nit-picky is optional and thus extraneous. Furthermore, your post was rampant with sentence fragments.

Whether punctuation belongs in quotes is variable. If the punctuation is actually an element of what is being quoted, it goes in quotes. If it is not, it goes outside. If it belongs to both, it only resides within the quotes.

Examples:

He asked me "Why?"

Did you ask him "Why?"

Did they actually say "Your Face"?

I'm fairly certain this is incorrect.

First result on Google for "Punctuation in Quotes." This agrees with wikipedia. Though it appears that the rule varies based on what punctuation mark it is since american style changes comma and period to not match what I wrote above.

I think my group has just Nuked itself due to in-group dispute over an additional PC being run by the group. Who should run it? Then it devolved into a WHOLE LOT of unresolved issues that I had no idea even existed. I am still a bit stunned as I didn't see any of this coming.

Gamers are like cats, they like what they like, for as long as they like it. Then once bored with it they use it as a scratching post and find something else to like and repeat the process, sometimes going back to the firs thing they like.

And like cats they seem of soft and cuddling and easy to pet and then they suddenly turn around and bite you, for not petting them correctly. And never get to gamers from different game systems in the same forum thread, thats like inviting in two stray tom cats to your living room.

Sounds like a 'people' issue rather than a 'Pathfinder players' issue.
