There is a term that we used

Message 8222 in response to message 8221

There is a term that we used to call this.. It's called "Flaming" for no good damn reason. This is just to call attention to yourself. Need a little attention baby?
Are you such a flame? [ queen implied of course ].

Former BBS Sysop since 1984 - Yes 80's!! -- first online at 300bps. First system was developed at a public library -- only the 2nd public library in the country to offer such dial up modem to modem services in the [this] country. BTW: No spelling dictionaries were being used either!!

Therefore, I am an authority of this kind of BULLSH*T.... lysdexia, get a life!! Relate to others here as this community speaks or go find your language degree forums to post in. OK? I see no reason for you to comment this out. If you do, your just evil! A reply is welcomed, however.

Okay, let's hope this puts

Okay, let's hope this puts this thread to bed. If there's an admin reading, feel free to close this topic - it's getting tired. Before you do, though, here's my two cents - although as I'm British I suppose it'll be two pence.

Firstly, on the subject of ignoring crappy posts. As Blerton says at the end of his post, feel free to exercise your democratic right to click the '-' link to reduce the rating of the post. I have found that so doing will eventually filter the posts from view without having to do a thing - it seems that all the posts from lysdexia in this thread have been filtered out. Oh dear, such a shame. I was so looking forward to his very worthwhile contributions to the areas of science to which this message board is devoted. Not missing much then.

Secondly, I find it offensive to show such an outright display of anal-retention and conceited condesention towards the original poster. Our Russian friend had a perfectly reasonable question to ask, which he framed as well as he was able, and which everybody here - including lysdexia, as shown by his replies - understood. I am pleased to note that his search was aided by one of the many helpful people on this board. The victimisation of another simply on the grounds of their nationality and ability to speak a given language is simply diabolical. I use the word 'victimisation' advisedly, after reading the second reply from lysdexia...

'Ooh, I found a bunch in hoarfrost's profile. Why don't Russians understand articles??'

Found a bunch? Were you looking for corrections to make? Are you that sad? Does your whole life revolve around the correction of others, even when some of those corrections may be flawed? And why should Russians understand the articles of the English language? Do you understand the articles of the Russian language? And don't bother with the 'if this was a Russian board', because this is an International board. In fact, don't bother to answer these questions at all, because I really have no interest in reading them. I might even take Blertons first piece of advice, and ignore your posts altogether. I somehow feel that I won't be missing a great deal.

RIP this thread.

Yes, ye are flaming me for no

Yes, ye are flaming me for no good reason, and filtering me. It's because ye hate the truth, and so will keep lying about my deeds. I don't want any attention other than what the thread deserves. If you cannot understand that I actually care what people say, not only in spelling but in everything, then poor you. It's not my fault that most mistakes people are making are in spelling. I can handle science, linguistics, logic, ethics, religion, or the paranormal. I can and will take out mistakes in any of these areas when I see them. (I'm a Wiccan-neoGnostic-atheistic-theosofic intersection here.) glennog, if you cannot tell your genders then your eyesight must be failing. The Russian poster was never made a victim; the prejudiced and deluded like you projected your careless sentiments onto my replies so really they made themselves victims, and are now returning it to me. Not once have I used an insult against hoarfrost. If you take neutral corrections as diabolical, then you are diabolical for twisting their rightness. How am I sad if I listen to everyone and anything, finding much of it flawed, pathetic, and wrong? You never bothered replying to my points, skirting them so you could bring up these irrelevant objections? Answer them or don't post. No one should ever, ever say, do, or think anything that is wrong. Such includes using a [simple] word one can't spell, or speech one can't grasp. To answer your childish question, Russians who speak English without understanding English (and articles are so simple too, giving away the failure of the education system) know not what they do. This very common trait of mankind is its common pitfall. You may not understand my motivations because you don't realise how wrong the world is; you haven't really been offended like I have, daily by what I hear on TV and the web, by people who have no idea what they're doing, who lie to themselves and to others. But that's far off-topic.

It's theosophic, or theosophical.

Apologies to hoarfrost, since this thread got so far off-topical :)

TO ALL WHO IS READING THIS:

I am challenging lysdexia[/url] to contact me directly in email to further this discussion. I am sure that he will be too chicken to do so. This is because he has failed to make his email address public. Anyone so wishing to be included in this offsite discussion can also email me to be included. I WANT TO TAKE THIS OFF THIS PUBLIC BOARD! Filters then not an issue, right? The truth is that you can't handle the truth, lysdexia!

Thank You :
