I'll comment on what I what to comment on. That was a snotty, pointless attack. Did you want to fight?

No - but you obviously do.

Imagine an intellectual pool of information. Swimming around in the pool are interesting thoughts, challenging theories and useful insights. Also in the pool are bullshit comments, xenophobia and sheer ignorance.

You've got a fishing rod DCL but for some reason you went fishing for the wrong stuff.

If you think that me genuinely wanting to hear your thoughts on a subject that interests me is snotty then you really are worthless.

The shameless arse licking that goes on around here is revolting. I think your little possy of hapless females is probably swelling your head and taking you away from the insight you were liked for in the first place.

Disappointing really.

anyone not happy with my OOooopses anymore??

Uhhmm Merelan - sweet? Do I hear some reference out of your question for that dictionary?

Shoot - I want a copy of that!!*lol* Just imagine - maybe I was using my "oooops" the wrong way all the time - and NOBODY told me - Oh horror!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just now I become aware in my ignorant european arrogance that I may have made grave gramatical errors, causing misleading meanings to spill all over the innocent readers of my posts... Ohhh my god!

but then again *weg* does that mean I get to blow 26 inch growing horns when oopsing correctly???

Thanks Isabella for sharing that with us *lol*

 

[Merelan]

Thank you for the information. I will look for it.

ohhhh my beautiful Mistress H ... i meant no disrespect .. i love your oooopses so much ... i only meant that maybe you have heard of the book because it is a german publication .. i never meant to imply that you would personally need to refer to it ...

hmmmmmm was i being naughty?

Oy, Flagg, what is it with you? I don't want to fight. You insult me, you qualify my comments, and you assume a turned head when there isn't one, and then you decide it's me who wants to fight. You swipe at everyone else at Literotica who gets attention. You're snotty as hell, and I've given you no cause.

The age old chestnut about how Americans have screwed up the English language was brought up several times on this thread, and I chose to comment on what I think is nasty urban myth that is repeated and repeated withouth anyone really considering what they're saying. What, exactly, is your problem with that?

I'll say it again -- I'll comment what I want to comment on. If there's another topic in the thread you'd like to hear my opinion on, I'm flattered, and you could ask me, and I'll be happy to oblige. But why the vitriol? Why the snot about my not picking the topic you wanted me to pick? Why rag on me at all? Are you really that upset that people like me, they really like me?

Is it linguistics you think I should have posted about? I'm sorry. I didn't know what you wanted. Help me out. Help us all out. Why don't you just TELL everyone what you'd like us to say, and how, and on what topics? If you do that we'll all like you, too.

That make you feel all warm and happy now, Snookums?
