Its Annoying When...

Full stops are your friend.

("...ah, someone from planet bingo, oh can I take your photo please, and how is queen victoria these days..." inquired the goblin now)

the goblin had an aversion to using "full stops" while posting, much as he did for "colons" and "semi colons", in that, what with modern day readers newly coming unstuck from the television and accidentally drifting in here like this, the goblin doubted that they would really know what those punctuation marks meant, so somehow the image of "...Scotty, damage report please...", "...captain, I don't know how long this vessel can take much more of those funny dots and dashes coming from the goblin there...", "...OK Bones, disengage then, set a direct course for "facebook"..." crossed the goblin's mind whenever any mad temptation to write normally arose

Those two drive me insane.

"....not at all, I think thump and poopshoot are cool in fact and I like them, it's just one has to give them a bit more time to find their writing feet eventually..." mused the goblin knowing that on forums one was always going to meet posters who deluded themselves into thinking that they are that hoped for audience not heeding the previous made point, that "this goblin is anonymous here and only writes for himself", and who also would wish to reduce everything to some silly clarity here, which if anything couldn't be further from the truth about writing now, in that, since readers know its all fiction anyway, they give the writer leeway as long as the plot is gripping, for the last thing anyone wants is to turn up and be landed their own reality each time..."

blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda.

Which is exactly why i said full stops are your friend. Nothing you've written so far has made any sense.

By all means, carry on typing your nonsensical blitherings. I've not really wasted any time trying to decypher it.

"...yes, you're absolute right, reading is difficult, because all words, even the most simplest ones now, are representations here..." mentioned the goblin again, feeling that here really was a great chance to do his good deed of the day, adding "...but I'll tell you what, if you place a lone finger under each word in turn pronouncing the syllables slowly, you will be able to decipher words, honestly it's not that difficult, promise, but if not your could ask a friend, well, if you have one..."

[Thumpalumpacus]

It's funny that you think I'm a neophyte writer conditioned by television.  By all means, nurture your illusions.

[fleamailman]

(the goblin confessed once more that he wasn't actually thinking of thump each time he posted, saying "...I simply said that you were finding your writing feet here...")

i cant figure it out... are you... sane?

"...you tell me then, in that I am replying to posters on this thread here, which seems sensible enough wouldn't you say, while they're replying to a questionably mad goblin for all their sanity here, which is um..., ..." ventured the goblin at it

Please stop the bickering in here and take it to PMs. And to Flea and anyone else who feels they are being singaled out: you are, but not because of your style, but because you continue to act as if you are purposely trying to annoy other members and make issues that shouldn't exist. To those who don't enjoy that writing style, I can only suggest that you simply don't bother reading it.

It takes extra time to read, yes, but as long as there is content worth reading, then why not try? If the content is blather (which it won't be, because I know Flea, and Jat, like all members here, will respect the forum rules against spamming, trolling, etc), ignore it.

Regardless, stop the childish back and forth, please.

"...I agree entirely, and I really do apologize once more about the other posters here in their somewhat unruly troll-like behavior towards me of late, where surely, have I not simply replied in my defense each time, and where understandably perhaps, it is only natural after all, that a certain degree of jealousy is bound to creep in here on their seeing these well thought out beautifully matched posts now, which I then unfortunately have to cast, like so many pearls perhaps, to those less fortunate who don't appreciate such art and penmanship combined together like this..." mentioned the goblin  "..so please McQ, can you find it in your heart to forgive them then, don't send them those PMs I beg of you now, for I have turned the other cheek towards them..."

It's y'all's forum. If you're okay with this sort of shitposting, I suppose I can be as well.

eta:  As much as I hate putting anyone on ignore, I've done so, in order to avoid this in the future.

Honestly, Thump, I meant it more as a suggestion, I'm not telling you what to do. I wouldn't want to put anyone on ignore either, and you shouldn't have to. I'm definitely not ok with shit posting, and I'm trying to make sure it doesn't continue. To that end, see my next post.

Here's the deal, Flea. Since you seem to think this is a joke, and don't want to my very reasonable request seriously, I'm giving you a warning. Next time it earns you a one-week ban from the forum.

[fleamailman]

"...oh, but I do take you ever so serious now and sympathize with you entirely McQ, for am I not the wounded party here, so no I can understand the strain that they must be putting you through too, where I, for my part, and with the utmost of politesse of course, have merely defended myself to date, no, have I not been more than forthcoming in offering, those who have cared to address me that is, both informative explanations and encouragement throughout, in fact, if anything I feel that they should be thanking me now..." mentioned the goblin again, knowing that one day this great injustice would be rectified, and that all goblins, regardless of race creed or color, would be able to post on happyatheist forum with both dignity, pride, and equality now, adding "...so thank you for voting sarah palin then..."

One week ban. This has becoming nothing more than trolling by Flea.

"...I see..." laughs Jats "...although he had seen clearly from day one, from the...er....welcome... "...so is this where I put forward an opinion and am accused of trolling too, whereas the above is not classed as trolling, or the post before that, and the plethora of posts before that is not, even the ones I have highlighted for your attention? Yes Thump is right its y'all's forum indeed and clearly we are not doing enough polotiking and lobbying here, you know how it goes you complain about it all the time when it happens in your 'daily life' yet fall into the same traps yourself on forum-land. How about a ban for those who keep saying they are ignoring when clearly they are doing nothing of the sort and just using this tactic in their trolling armoury, another dig, another sleight, a casual well designed throw away remark, how about a ban for the next one of those, or is it just a case of 'no opinion tolerated except ours' here..." Jats shakes his head in mock puzzlement "...see we are not ok with this kind of shit posting, and invited others to up their game and when some can't, especially as others have, then they complain and urge for the ban instead...yet its hard to see the patterns when you are in the thick of things, hard to realise how you are being manipulated, all that testosterone flying around, and only in retrospect that you see the trolls within, they are usually the one accusing everyone of everything else, but we see it time and time again and its easier to recognise, as we do here now, though one or two will have seen it now too..." as the chameleon finds another site in readiness now for there are as many forums on the Internet as there are stars in the night sky "...see if you ban us then as you will, looking for an excuse now for me too, all you have said to the theists is yes we are Atheists but we are human too..." as Jats settles down to the football now, hoping it won't be another game ruined by a shit referee

You missed his other account.
