[QUOTE=samclem] Where can I get one of those decoder screens that will allow me to see what threat **czarcasm** removed from his post? [/QUOTE] I read what he wrote befor he changed it. It’s why the edit function can be used to hide from what one says. But you knew that. ---

[QUOTE=brownie55] I read what he wrote befor he changed it. It’s why the edit function can be used to hide from what one says. But you knew that. [/QUOTE] And what was it exactly I supposedly changed? I remember adding a sentence in one post, and correcting misspellings, but what did I hide? ---

I wish I had saved the text, but I expect some veracity from the mods. I see that’s too much for some. And way to go, bringing another mod in to beard for you.

Fuck it, you know what, I’d rather keep posting here than piss every mod off, and it looks like that is where I am going. So, you all rule, I was a mere bug that hit your windshield. Keep on enforcing the rules as you see fit, and enterpreting them as you want them to read. Please let me know how many demerits I have racked up, so I can work them off. Yeah, it’s sad, but I really would like to hang aroung here for a while longer, despite what I see as capricious moderation, the other posters are worth the aggrivation. ---

Do you wish to try again to change the topic? [/QUOTE] Am I wrong to assume that your term “borganism” is a reference to being [Borked](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Bork)? Am I also wrong that your use of the term “pretented” was an attempt to write “pretended”? In previous posts I also had problems reading/understanding spellings that you used. I didn’t bring them up as I didn’t consider it important. But trying to interpret what you mean by “borganism” might influence how someone responds to your argument. And, now that I preview, your spelling is atrocious. It really doesn’t help your argument. If you’re first language isn’t English, then never mind. ---

Yeah you got me, I speak English but my fingers spell as they will. “borganism” is a reference to the Borg, you may remember them from Star Trek: The Next Generation. They were made up of many individuals, but were ultimately one mind. It worked for me; sorry it did not make sense to you. ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > 1. But if I think you are hitting that button just to be an annoyance, **you may get the warning.** I’m pretty sure the bolded part was more like “then I know exactly what to do with you”, although I would interpret it as “Oh wait, that sounds a little too snarky; lemme go make that less foreboding” rather than “Ha! They’ll never catch me handing out threats now! I’m under their radar!” ---

You schmucks are confusing two different **Czarcasm** posts. The one with the “threat” is #149 and is still there. The one you’re quoting as “softened” is #152. ---
