Back in the days when the BDOTGNZA were extremely active, more than a few members here did get mightily upset with the constant haranguing and clarion calls for perfection in spelling and grammar from HisEruditeLearnedness, the GrandMaster Hitch.
Now he has accepted that whilst tilting at windmills may be an honourable mission, in reality it just fucks off the miller.
Hitch at his most busy had nothing on you, O Three-EyedOne. You would do well to recognise the futility of your mission, and cease from littering threads such as this with your constant and tiresome efforts to 'make us think' (ie like you).

Sadly that diagnosis may be true.

Oh dear, the self appointed censor hath spoken.

Pardon me if I don't give a damn.

I intend to post here on whatever grabs my attention at the time and if you (or anyone else) don't like it, you're more than free to ignore me or just not read the post.

Those who try to cut down the tall poppies will find equally that I don't give a damn.

If your spelling and grammar were better, the Brave Defenders would send you a membership form. They like zealots.

Most of us knew at least one kid at school...loud-mouth, opinionated, knew everything, would never shut up....but whilst we left school and joined the real world, it seems you stayed behind.
