I kf'ed Peter J Ross a while ago for committing the unforgiveable sin
of being boring. It seems that I was correct in my initial assessment.

He wants to nit-pick my grammar? Let him. I don't care. I write in
conversational English, an ability that his compatriots sadly lack,
judging by their posts. Most of their posts are one-liners and puerile
at that. They remind me of a bunch of preschoolers making toilet jokes
to each other, mainly because they've so recently managed to learn how
& when to use one for its intended purpose.

With luck, my top-posting will be annoying to the lot of them. While
they fume and spend time attempting to compose intelligent, coherent
and witty replies, I'll be, first, having coffee and dinner with an
attractive *adult* blonde, followed by a quiet night's reading of
Dick Feynman's book. Tomorrow I'll glance in, kf all the new
sockpuppets, then spend the rest of the day working with the
contractors getting my ship ready for the first voyage of the season.
Yesterday, I was building my new cottage and paddling my kayak across
the tide flats. It's a tough life, but someone has to live it.

This rabble of losers can only aspire to master comic books, and their
ability to have social intercourse with a female is limited to their
ability to purchase inflatable dolls. They couldn't even get a second
date with a prostitute, because there are some things even they won't
do for money. Sooner or later, they'll realise just how far out of
their intellectual depth they are and retire to lick their wounds, or
they'll actually respond to training and attempt to lift their feeble
repartee. Who knows, one or two of them may actually *be* trainable.
Nav was giving dancing lessons and getting somewhere, but he has more
patience than I do.

God help them if Mooron gets bored.

Ah well, looks like the fun's over x-posting into the vampire ******
n/g; the German news server blocked it. No loss really. If they don't
read ASA, good riddance.


6. Then Scout summarized his take on the post:
You don't have to pay me either. I make $74,000/year teaching English in
America. I'm also a paid/published author.
Peter, at least I see an honest attempt to communicate here. You are, of
course, guilty of (facetiously?) grading a memo as though it were a
dissertation. Even so, your point deductions are at best, debatable. The
real crime, however, is that you miss, no, that you ignore, the author's
point. Most of your friends post one or two word nonsensical responses.
Throw in a controversial thought once in a while, and we'll have a good time
kicking it around. Behave like asses, however, and we will just have to
enjoy ourselves by kicking you around.
One more thing. I did my Master's in linguistics at Temple University. One
day our professor handed out an essay and told us to find all the mistakes.
We found plenty. We gave the graded papers back to the teacher. He checked
our work, and handed us all F's. Why? Because there was nothing really wrong
with the papers. We wanted to find mistakes, so we did. Language, no,
syntax, is like that. The Gettysburg Address was torn to ribbons by a
grammar checker. My posts could be ripped apart as well. So can anything
you care to post. You know it. I know it. So why pretend that we don't see
the point in Peter's post?
You seem like an intelligent person, why not put it to good use? It's your
choice.
