If you wanna I'll quit altogether

This is your passive aggressive spiel in a nutshell. Nobody is asking you to quit altogether, and you know that. Just lay off the grammar threads, other than that A2K is your oyster.

This is a man who prides himself for using few keystrokes and abbreviates people's names and regular word spellings nearly all the time.

He regularly announces how many key strokes he's avoided, in the many thousands. This is mean to do to new English learners on threads specifically for them. Many of them are absolute beginners.

I'm fine with his posting in other threads.

I'll seriously consider that, Oss. Because it's not always easy to spot the beginner, tho, I had suggested another approach where bad people such as I are id'd by a symbol of some sort (eg, '@', '*'), with newcomer so apprised so if he wishes he might skip my postings

I didn't get much positive response

Also I had suggested a listing begun of allowed v forbidden abbrs but no interest there either

I'd plead for just a few, eg "q" for question, "carret" for carriage return but maybe I'm asking too much

Thank you again Oss for your concern

John thank you once more for bolstering my ebbing confidence, wish you weren't in a minority

I'd really like to hear from the esl's but they don't seem to care one way or another

As for abbreviating names, for the life of me I can't see why that should so upset some

I wonder tho whether actual std abbrs might be welcomed by the esl, if for no other reason than it might prove another educational asset

Tho hate to start another fire; but thanks once more for your concern and participation

I've just shown myself to be spineless. I try to please everyone. What a dope I am! Sad

As for the thread-topic, which appears to have meandered off into some fantasmagorical realm of 'kick the old fella in the nuts', it, at least, brought a few personas into play.

Ask yourselves.

1. Why do I bother calling into A2k?
2. Is my opinion any more/less valid than anothers'?
3. Should I attack 'those' I find intolerable, or avoid heated-conflict, and ignore?

Dale - You desperately seek attention and folk just don't have time for such.
As for 'reform'. - You bring nothing of interest to this site - But it responds, and as long as it 'responds' you will cling to it wholly. I get it....

1...Cuz I'm bored
2...More, definitely
3...Attack, definitely

As for you attack on Dale...It's bullshit. Did someone hold a gun to your head and make you read this thread? Do ya want me to call 911?

@giujohn,

I know you. What you'd really like me to do is to send you a young, extremely beauteous (and willing) young female homo sapiens who is attracted to macho cops. Although I aim to please, I have no such (sex) objects to give. So, how about a nice set of seal ribs, instead?

Ya (as hawkeye would say), gross looking, they are. The ribs, that is; not the baby seal. Crying or Very sad

Why, thanks once again John. However I guess I am just a bit aggravating at times tho I think some of the criticism is exaggerated

Ya think?? Exaggerated is an understatement.

@giujohn,

There is no way that any barbecue sauce could ever redeem such a supposedly edible but absolutely grotesque preparation of organic matter.

By the way, did you notice that I got thumbed down twice at last glance? I be naughty! I doth offend! Mr. Green

@wmwcjr,

Oh? Is baby seal not delicious?

As for the childish thumbing crap I rarely pay any attention to it... Although I am proud for holding the record...I think it was over 100 on one post.

How would I know? The very thought of eating baby seal makes me want to cry. Crying or Very sad

I'm sure you've heard the old saying "Vote early and vote often." Well, I think that's what happened to that post of yours.

Here's a politically incorrect song about baby seals you're bound to appreciate. Smile

I can't believe I've done it! Wow! What bad taste! What would my sweet daughters think?

@wmwcjr,

I'm appalled...You should be boiled in seal oil and hung with a seal fur wrap.

@giujohn,

You're just a younger version of Dale - I can understand his needs - Yours are far more ridiculous.
