Eh ... the roof says things ridiculously intelligent sometimes.
It's a monkeys & typewriters phenomenon when he does.

OK, now you've taken editing for length too far.

One of your issues, is that you tend not to write proper sentences. At the minimum, a sentence needs a noun and a verb... two words. You only got one word above.

But don't let that get you down. Improving your writing is an iterative process. I have complete confidence in you. You're obviously not stupid. YOU CAN DO THIS !!!1! You just need to have confidence in yourself. That, and put in some good effort. Here... take another swing...
Who is saying 'no' to what?

No.

OK, let's try to help out here. This time, let's take it step-by-step...

@FoldnDark: We disconnected yesterday. Sorry, I was in an argumentative mood. <para>
You don't need to explain why you were in an argumentative mood. That's oversharing, and needlessly pads out and muddles your point. It's easier for the reader to explain what happened, then apologize, than vice versa. This order allows both sentences to stand on their own. In the backwards order, the sentences don't stand alone, and the reader is forced to "push state" to follow along. This apology isn't part of your point, so you should set it off in it's own paragraph.

Right now, you obviously don't have an 'ear' for written English. That's OK, written language isn't natural, it's a learned endeavour. Improving your 'ear' is an iterative process.

As a native speaker since infancy, you already have a preternatural 'ear' for spoken English. One technique for improving your written 'ear' is leveraging your spoken 'ear'. Obviously you don't speak like above IRL.

calling **** racist and dog whistles...
Ditto. Also, avoid gratuitous scare quotes.

Ditto. Avoid multiple repeating redundancies . OK, let's put it all together...

I'm not obsessed. I always find it amusing when peeps make that silly claim on the interwebs.

I'm trying to help you. And... it's clearly working. Once again, the above is perfectly comprehensible written English. See, you're getting better at it. Like I've said, it's an iterative process. Keep up the good effort.

This is very well written too. Except for those gratuitous scare quotes. See... you are getting better, and it is an iterative process. You Can Do This !!!1!. I'm not that big into riddles, but sure, I'll bite...
IDK, what is an anti-capitalist who doesn't take 'no' for an answer?

OK, I think I got this riddle. Google to the rescue.

So, an answer to the riddle is "Queer Socialist Poets". I know some of those folks. They're good people.

Spank - threads about individual posters aren't allowed. If this was a new thread I would close it. As it's an old thread with a lot of history I will leave it up to you. Let me know if you would like it closed.
02-18-2017 , 07:58 PM
So Teh Jabber-Wookie, you got two choices.

Refuse to ever defend your so called opinions and hide under the skirt of your SMP overlord. Or... continue your upward spiral into coherence. Whichever you choose, the bad poster thread will always be there, and absolutely nothing will have changed.

02-18-2017 , 08:47 PM
I think you have a point shame and it's unfair on Spank not to automatically give him the same 'protection' that Kerowo, chezlaw and Fly have already been given (and that everyone else gets) As you correctly point out, we have the bad posters thread.

Thread is closed.
