In case you're so busy being stupid you missed this on your previous thread, here it is again. Please answer the question al-d. Your credibility (what little you have) rests on it.

--Feel free to write whatever you like.....

However, are you intentionally trying to be an asshole with your idiotic and stupid puntuation nonsense. How can we be expected to take you seriously when you intersperse equals signs, apostrophes, commas, capital letters etc. anywhere you bloody well feel like it and rarely in the right places. Don't come crying your poor uneducated me crap either. If that were the truth, you would simply leave out the punctuation, make the odd spelling mistake and no one would really care.

However, it is clear that you are deliberately trying to use the style of a complete idiot in order to accomplish God knows what.

If you're trying for the 'cute factor', you have missed the boat. I sincerely think that you are trying to be a jerk. That way people don't expect you to make any intelligent statements or display any common sense or wit. Shoot, even Homer Simpson has some class! --

Al-D is a unique troll, I admit. We attract all types. But I'm sure all would agree when I say with stern visage and shaking forefinger:

"Al-D, you're no DiEteR!"

Perhaps we could just implore our favorite troll-emeritus to answer all of Al-D's questions, threads, whinings, theological ramblings, and the rest of us just stand aside?

Bullsh*t answer. Now you're trying to come off as a poor illiterate humble person who is only looking for answers. Utter crap man. It's amazing. You actually managed to print a few words in a row with no idiotic hyphens, underscores, quotation marks, equal signs or any other ridiculous characters.

It is clear that you can do it when you want to. You're obviously playing a stupid attention seeking game with us. Who exactly do you think you're fooling anyway?

You're not believable. You're a fake and a fraud. You're like a lady I know that is a compulsive liar. Even when she was clearly caught out, she would fabricate an even bigger lie to try and get out of it.

Time for you to move on I'd say. I think that's what God would say too if you would quit typing stupid punctuation long enough to hear him.

I'm afraid I have to agree with Craig. (Although I would never say it in quite that, um.... tone.) Al-d it's obvious you are just playing a game. Is it attention you desire, or just disruption of the forum?

You are correct sir....There are people out there that will help you....They are called Doctors.....See them soon!!

-- You (should@seek.hlp), June 23, 1999.

Hey Al-d, I'll say it because everyone else is too politically correct:

Shut the fuck up already!

Face it, your way out of your league and your doing nothing but disrupt and agrivate everyone. Good questions? I don't see any damn good questions coming out of you that can't be answered if you just spent a little of your own time researching. If there really is a question you need answers to and you can't find it in the archives then fine post a thread and ask. But save the GOD crap and the useless human philosophy for your inbred family.

Personally I'm sick of seeing your nitwit posts here and if you think that makes me some sort of snob then fine you little prick think that. I'm not the one going around saying how dumb everyone is when they don't scream their heads off about how wonderful GOD is and how GOD will take care of everything and how GOD is the only Y2K preps you'll ever need.

Your the only snob here al-d, becuase you think that everyone needs to take your advice no matter how poorly written it is.

OH WOE IS ME I'M JUST A POOR PERSECUTED IMBECILE! BUT I HAVE THE GIFT OF GOD AND WOE TO ALL WHO DON'T HEED MY WORDS!!!

Take a hike already asshole, you haven't contributed anything here that the average person couldn't find for themselves with four functioning brain cells and an Internet server.

When you can't even coherently use the English language you identify yourself as an idiot, and nobody, not even religious nuts will take you seriously, because your the kind of person who might electrocute themselves trying to work a generator, and who wants to take advice from a person like that?

-- (Save@it for.Jesus), June 23, 1999.

Al-d,

For now I'm going to assume that you are sincere in your posts. It's obvious that your writing style irritates some folks, but I don't see anyone offering you any real help to improve your style. I'll go out on a limb and offer you some advice on how to present your style in a better fashion.

First - Don't try to get fancy with your post. Just keep it simple. That means no capitalization of long strings of words (i.e. DON'T DO THIS). Don't seperate words unnecessarily with characters such as "-,=,?,[" (i.e. don't=do-this??if>not+necessary).

Second - Start sentences with a capital letter and end them with a period (Do it like this.)

Third - When you put two words together to form one word (i.e. I am = I'm) use an apostraphe (') not a comma (,). I know they look the same on the keyboard but the are placed differently when typed. The comma is at the bottom right of the keyboard under the less-than sign (<). The apostraphe is next to your 'enter' key, at the right side of your keyboard. It is the same key that has the quotation mark (") on it.

Fourth - Some keys have two characters on them. To use the character at the top of the key press 'shift' and tap the appropriate key. If you want the lower character just tap the key without doing anything else.

Fifth - Don't press the 'Caps Lock' key and type your entire message.

Sixth - Don't make promises that you may not keep. A man is only as good as his word. If your word is no good than you can't expect any kind of respect.

Well, this should get you started. If you are sincere in what you say, you will take these recommendations to heart and start to use them. I'm not trying to be rude. I am sincere in trying to help you present yourself in a better fashion so that others will take you more serious.

jor-el,

Saintly DieTEr is sleeping to replenish his strength after conceiving the greatest ideas in the history of man. Not to mention Putting up with the likes of us. He just hurls a thunderbolt down at us from time to time to remind the lowley who is the superior being.

Let's all hold hands and say the chant....maybe DeiTER will grace us with his presence.

Don't go away al-d, just think "conservation", of threads that is.

-- Mike (midwestmike_@hotmail.com), June 23, 1999.

Folks,

al-d can spell, there are few spelling errors in his posts, including quite difficult words such as communication and league. Let's face it, the standard of spelling (good) is not consistent with the use of punctuation (tragic).

I just can't figure his angle, initially I thought of writing a "typing 101" for him too, but I'm convinced that his illiteracy is fake. If you examine his punctuation, especially the use of apostrophes of omission and his substitution of commas, you'll note that (in most most cases) the placement is correct but the wrong symbol is used. From my observation most people with poor english either omit the apostrophe altogether or place it incorrectly, al-d does not fit this pattern.

Notwithstanding the above, so far as I'm concerned he's as welcome to post as anybody else. I see plenty of other posts that I don't necessarily agree with, why pick on his?

And a FAIR one at that. i really don't care about the punctuation, or the spelling, or whatever y'all seem to want to pick on. DeiTEr actually hurts to read, in comparison. The actual answer is, right here, for now. EVENTUALLY, some reasonable soul will see the question, and provide a serious acurate answer answer.
