Not to mention that someone on staff isn't going to know something is happening until happens in a very public way. So please dont assume we aren't aware of it and are monitoring what's happening.

Or, as I said before it could be a chatbot that's gone awry... I think Microsoft needs to do a recall cos this one's got faulty programming.... parsing errors and infinite loops  Wink

You know what? I'm not going to bother responding to posts that are clearly deliberately not formatted sensibly. If you can't even be bothered to present what it probably pleases you to call your arguments in a considerate fashion, TK, I'm not going to waste my time unpacking them.

If you do need "instruction" as to quoting correctly, we have a handy-dandy BBCode guide here. We also have a guide to forum netiquette. Learn it.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

This thread. It makes me want to stab and bludgeon things.

When you reply to someone you will see this

Code:
[quote='Stimbo' pid='1306872' dateline='1466299317']
The burden of proof does not apply to opinions; only positive assertions. Your continual claiming of the discursive high ground does not alter that.

To your second point re: "fancy colours", I think we both know exactly what I mean. Please keep me out of your little games, yes?

Finally, please learn to quote properly. It's not difficult. Replying within quotes as you are doing makes it unnecessarily awkward to follow the flow of your threads, inasmuch as there can be said to be one.

In order to quote properly do not write inside their quote tags but instead separate the parts and add your answers between the separate parts outside of the quote tags.

Do you think you can prove that I have not used burden of proof right ?

Do you think you can prove I'm playing little games in this forum ?

Now that I have taken the time to show you how, it would be wise to do so in the future. Quote mining or deliberately misquoting people is against the rules.

You know, I actually feel bad for ThomasKelly252525 because he clearly has a rather severe case of IBS.

And on that delightful note, I hear my bed calling me.

If you think my questions were malformed and you want to assert it here, then you may think you have the burden of proof.

I don't have the time to explain the questions to people who don't understand them.

Maybe you'll want to have a guess at the answers.

If you don't have time to explain your questions or have a discussion then kindly fuck off. This a discussion forum not a playground for douchnozzles.

Losty,

Do you think you can prove that I've not been willing to discuss ?

Do you think you can prove I have been using this forum like a playground for douchnozzles ?
