Is this place dead, or what?

@giujohn,

Me too Glu, might guffah to terminal exhaustion

@dalehileman,

You can stick that passive aggressive self-pitying bullshit up your jacksey. It doesn't work with me. You know full well that most of the people on grammar threads have limited English. They don't know that you're not a reliable source. They come and go, there's lots of new faces, they're not here long enough to suss you out.

I repeat my offer to respond to all your posts in a considered manner if you stay off the grammar threads, just the grammar EFL threads.

No. It is always worthwhile to unify folk.
But, platforms change.

There are three processes present in self-preservation - Whether it be physiological, societal or mental.
1. Adapt to the fit the current paradigm.
2. Relocate.
3. Die.

Principle is universal.

A2k was a wonderful idea - When connectivity (via forums) was novel.
It is now resigned to antiquity.

@mark noble,

Antiquity is fine by me. I still read books. I even watch a B&W movie once in a while. Though it's been years since I last watched a silent film. I watched The Artist but that's not a true silent film.

You don't have to. Nothing can beat a baby seal. (Did I say "beat"?)

Thanks John I really like that word: One concerned with a certain internal-combusion rotary engine. I appreciate the opportunity to learn one fact every day, whereupon I immediately forget it

But I fully intend to Google the term also

@dalehileman,

Well I'm not sure about the internal combustion engine reference but I can save you the trip to Google... It means that he's a jerk off. A wanker is British for masturbater.

Yea Bill, but only among them apparently angry at all times about almost everything. On the other hand, a lotta good fellas too. In fact I keep a listing, 21 on the "Good Guys" to the left and about the same number to the right under "Not"

But thank you for your input as I was feeling so alone
