So Roger - you're saying that YOU have a problem with people replying to you? You're probably right, but one would expect, unless they have a compulsion and CAN'T stop themselves, that they would WANT people to reply. Maybe he really hopes people will stop replying. You know what they say: "it takes an entire village to ..." - no, it was something else about a village.

Spaw, I've considered suggesting Shambles create a glossary so we can know for sure what he's trying to say instead of trying to interpret it. Then I I realized, 1) it's more fun this way, and, 2) who cares?

My stab at it:

-If all posters were now to be encouraged - by example - to try to resist the temptation to post publicly - only to pass their personal judgement upon any fellow poster. And were encouraged - by example - not to post and request that any imposition to be imposed upon the contributions of others � and our our volunteer fellow posters did not insist on firing the first shots at our forum - there is real danger that peace could well break out.

If people would refrain from posting their opinions or requesting editing of other people's opinions[1], and if the editors stopped being the first to complain[2], I might shut up. [3]

[1] I haven't seen anyone ask that another individual's message be edited.
[2] But we aren't - not unles you think everyone except you is a clone, which would be a GOOD reason to not 'come out, wouldn't you say?
[3] When flying is imposed upon porkers without their consent.

Spaw, this is too obviously a parody of his own style to be real. I think he's just trying to win people over by being Pythonesque...or maybe it's his Adams-ish [is that the correct spelling?] Vogon-like writing style, that indefinable French thing: 'je-ne sais quack'. I noticed the imposition of hyperhyphenism too. Perhaps asterisks will be next, or tildes. Who knows?

I can tell you I have no idea what he'd like to debate. Whether people shouldn't post their 'personal judgements' (opinions)? Right. You first, or we'll all get Rogered again. Wham-bam-thank-you-Sham.
