What's your point with all of this ? Are you just amusing yourself ?
Maybe they are just tired of your shit.
 
frag inserted some shit into my post

I agree with you on that. I noticed him changing people's posts elsewhere as well to 'correct' the grammar, etymology, whatever.

I don't really think that's cool. If he wants to correct them, he can correct them in a reply. There's no reason to make these unnecessary edits.

I'll bring it up in the mod forum.
 
take the retard enmos with you please
he is obsessing on me in a most insane manner

thanks vert
rather surprising to find reason and rationale in dumbfucksci
 
let me tell you fuckers something in.....earnest
i know sci more than most

frag's condition will not improve. it will get worse.
deal with it now.
 
The Linguistic Adventures of Gustav​

The Coot Strikes

Fraggle Rocker said:
This is the Linguistics board so it's not unreasonable to expect a higher standard of linguistic detail.Black is standard for the very good reason that it provides the greatest contrast on every screen and is therefore easier to read.

The only reason to deviate from that standard is to make your post stand out from everyone else's. You should have a good reason for doing that or you will be perceived as conceited.

You quoted what appears to be a statute or a legal decision and asked for help in interpreting it. That can be construed as a request for legal assistance. As a Moderator I am a representative of SciForums; if I am accused of giving incorrect legal advice it will reflect poorly on the entire website. Besides, that language is extremely difficult to understand without legal training.

I have been a member of SciForums longer than you, and I am also the Moderator of this subforum. It is my responsibility to facilitate these discussions. It is a courtesy to make our posts as easy to read as possible. A post that follows standard orthograpical and stylistic conventions will, in aggregate, save the community of readers far more time than it will take you to look at your computer, find the SHIFT key and get in the habit of using it.

As other members have stated below, your typing is indeed discourteous and disrespectful. On an international forum, we are all careful to be kind and tolerant toward non-anglophones who are struggling to master our difficult language, but you clearly do not fall into that category.We are not trolling. Our comments are relevant and do not have the purpose of generating an irrational reaction.

In particular, I am the Moderator and it is my duty to facilitate these discussions, which includes making them easy to read.I am moving this to Ethics, Morality & Justice. I think that is somewhat more appropriate than Science & Society. Perhaps you will find the moderator more indulgent of your slothful and arrogant attitude toward orthographic conventions on a board whose topic is not language itself.

The Coot Strikes Again

Fraggle Rocker said:
Moderators have considerable discretion and we were appointed for our judgment skills. Since you asked for a definition of "haiku" I wanted to make sure people could find it. However, by popular demand I have copied that post, as well as the one giving the origin of "chick," into the "Word of the Day" thread. I shall change your title back as requested.

However, please be on notice that your ramblings are straying from the topic of linguistics and the other members are responding in kind. If this thread continues to degenerate into just another exchange of free thoughts, I'll move it to the Free Thoughts subforum. We're all free to goof off a little, but I want people who come here looking for linguistics to actually find linguistics.

It doesn't help your case that despite my copious explanation you still don't understand how to craft a haiku. Five syllables, seven syllables, five syllables. It must conform to that structure. No exceptions.

I would very much like people coming here to understand haiku to actually find haiku!!!

And Again

Fraggle Rocker said:
Perhaps not. But this is the Linguistics board, you asked for the definition of a word, and I responded to your request and posted the definition. You then proceeded to craft free verse that was obviously intended to resemble the form of haiku yet missed the mark in a number of ways. This is a website people come to in order to learn things and you are defeating that purpose by deliberately flouting something you have been taught in a way that will very likely confuse or mislead them.

I understand that it was your attempt at irreverent humor, but someone from another country whose native language is not English and who has never heard of a haiku will not understand that. The primary mission of this forum is to serve that person's quest for knowledge, not to be an outlet for your quirky and abrasive sense of humor. Sorry 'bout that.Many of us have a tendency to be pretentious, including myself. It's no sin but it does require moderating in order to maintain the character of this website.The only rule you broke was to personally insult a moderator, and that happened after your PM. But you have been very rude. We do not post each other's private messages publicly. I have a thick skin and simply choose to put up with it. But not everyone will react the same way I do.

why do you guys not understand that you have no privacy in your pm's when used for official business? is it because you are dumbfucksci?

how many times do we hear of memo's and emails being subpoenaed? do you know that the law in most govts require all official communications to be saved then made public after a specified period of time?

well?
do you, dumbfucksci? or are you special?

I agree, I think mods should be able to read PMs.:p
 
We already have the necessary tools

If you are edited:
1. PM the mod and ASK. This apparently is a hurdle no one is willing to surmount.

2. PM the admin and ask. This will remove the onus from you

3. If you are shy of asking, go to SFOG and open a thread.
 
i mean... i have pressing matters in phil. this....this, bogus whining and complaining is taking up valuable time. is this drama really neccessary? why do you guys keep stirring up shit?
