Sorry I had to lock your thread mate.
Unfortunately some people are more interested in trying to belittle others, or are more interested in simply arguing the toss over somewhat less than important detail, than actually providing any worthwhile enhancement or adding any value to the thread.
The real irony (which I doubt is lost upon them) is that in trying to demonstrate superior intellect or literary skills, they always end up appearing in less than favourable terms by doing so.
What is perhaps more amusing for the rest of us is the generally accepted position that such actions are usually based upon deep rooted insecurity and significant failings in other aspects of life.
However, notwithstanding that, such pendantic ****e as spouted by a number of members of this BBS will not be condoned on my shift.

On the original subject of that thread, can I just say "Asberger's Syndrome"? Sounds like a classic case. Read up and learn - and learn why most techniques involving subtlety won't work. You'll need to be polite, firm, and above all, TRUTHFUL. Yes he'll be hurt, but he should move on.

I'd let him come clubbing with you, make sure the place has a dress code - and make sure he's miles away from home when you all go in and he gets turned away. With luck it should be raining. He will work it out eventually

D - Good lad! Nail the pedants to the (virtual) wall.
Nothing like taking a debate about a freak and turning it into a lesson on grammar is there?
I do wonder if there is a PedantNet BBS out there that we could migrate some of these users to?

I used to work with a guy who had a serious personal hygiene problem. One day - with a bit of Dutch Courage - I told him. He actually understood and appreciated me telling him. My work colleagues were especially grateful.

Obvioulsy pedants are a touchy breed.
Pointing out the mistakes of others must be *so* exhilarating to some. Maybe they got bullied at school for being a swot and this is thier revenge on the world, or SN at least?

Just had a thought.
Could we possibly adopt a "PEDANT!" type 'shout' as we do in a similar manner to SIAL (which I actually loathe) whenever we spot a pedant being pedantic on a thread?
As for an image, well, the only one I could think of is the one I've seen in muppets, of a coin, roman I believe, which says "cvnt" on it. Think it would be appropriate.

Judging by your wet and brown nosing replies on here constantly I'd pretty much say it was referring to yourself.

Yes and that's why Diablo is a Moderator and you aren't.
Redkop was present and didn't feel the need to lock it, what's that say?
No superior intellect displays there at all, granted it should have been in a separate post to allow ScoobyDriverWannabes' to continue but I assume the irony lies firmly in your quarter.
It's ok to use whatever language or digs you see fit when you like because hey, you have the little power button to edit, lock or delete as you see fit.
Oh I'd certainly agree with that one.

Another comment from you earlier on the locked thread...
Maybe a group buy on back bones is in order?

Buzzer - The difference with Lynne is that she she doesn't get off on being pedantic, whereas some of the pedants clearly do. Must cost them a fortune in glass cleaner and bounty, having to clean the screen everytime they spot a spelling or grammar mistake that they can correct.

I'm honoured that you used my phrase too in reply, more than likely due to the lack of an original response, but hey, nice all the same.
I could say the namby pampy mistake was deliberate to see if you could be what's known fashionably as a pendant, but I won't because it was a genuine mistake.
But wait, you still pointed it out. So that makes you no better than the other pendants. Right back to square one I guess?
Anyway, I'm off for a póo, you work like no suppository I know.
ooh now thats nasty!

Spoon, as amazed as I am at your assumptions and thoughts, I have to agree with you though, that you are heading for the right place with them.... the bog! Very apt in the circumstances from all the bull**** you are spouting Just make sure you take your time and don't strain too hard, you might end up like Capacious Nadgers!

LOL! I love threads like this, just look at yourselves bickering away like a load of old fishwives! Diablo has managed to start a bickering thread on the basis of a thread he closed for bickering.
