Kind of like the chicken and the egg, depending on what boards one frequents. There are those out there on the internets that have trolls follow them from board to board. Luckily for us there's really no other board like TheTM Sowal. But we definitely get our share of whackjobs. Either they're whacked before they get here and start stirring things up from the getgo, or they make some off the wall post that to them seems normal( the voices are telling them it's a rational post), and some poor schlub posts a response that sets them off, and it's all downhill from there, till being banned.

It goes something like this:
<1> Someone new arrives at Sowal and in short order gets into all manner of pissing contests, arguments, rantings, etc. with and/or targeted towards a broad variety of people

<2> The new arrival rants about individual Sowalers' intolerance, bigotry, etc., how the new arrival feels persecuted for simply voicing his/her opinion (never mind the oh-so-important how the new arrival voices his/her opinion)

<3> The new arrival blames all of Sowal, collectively, for the new arrival's poor experience here

<4> The new arrival refuses to accept any responsibility for contributing to the escalating pissing contests, arguments, relentless rantings, and general descension into the depths of asshattery, even though the only common denominator in -all- of these instances is (yes, you guessed it)...

Oh my!! It seems that many of us Americans have forgotten what we were taught a few years ago with regard to common English. It is confusing to me how some think a sentence such as "Santa Rosa Beach Club isn't too much of an option, seeing as there brunch ends at 1pm." would be correct. That quote was lifted from these very pages, more as a convenience than anything(and not to put the poster in the spotlight, it's just one that I remember too well). But, this common mistake is repeated all over the internets.

So, just to set things back on course, let me state that in relation to the title subject:
they're means 'they are'. They, a group, are in the process of doing something.
their means that which they own, individual or group ownership. A family or a corporation owns their things.
there means simply, a place, such as over there.

I want to say here and now, that my writing is far from perfect. I'm a fan of not using caps on a regular basis, my spelling may be off from time to time(I do use www.merriam-webster.com more than I care to admit), and my punctuation may not always be accurate. But, the misuse of there, they're, and their just screams at me from the screen and has me wanting to shake the offender like you're not supposed to shake a baby.

There are even groups that have formed because of stuff like this:

"Your awesome."

"I'll meet you at they're house."...
