Some of you say you _know_ this fellow? Seems more like some joker has given a subscription to a random text generator. ---

When I first came across friend **finn007** , I asked him to stop SHOUTING 'cause places where I’d been, like here, folk don’t like it. To him, it isn’t “shouting”, just another way of using emphasis. And yes, **EmeraldGrue** , I know **finn007**. He is his own fellow – and probably does have a chip on his shoulder about Americans ( **finn** , mate, if that’s th’ case – knock it off. This isn’t a place full of folk tryin’ to ram their red-white-and-blue culture down your throat or change your way of life. Ease up a bit, there.) He posts in an individual, _singular_ way (to use the Sherlockian meaning of “singular”). He’s the type who, rather than follow the herd down the well-worn track, with head up the slope and report back on how different things look from up there. Take it easy on yourself, **finn**. ---

Not questioning that, **furt**. But in that post you’ve linked to, he’s emphasising. I’ve seen his ALL CAPS posts a year ago, and every so often these days. I figured he’d not quite got the caps lock unlocked. If he says he has a slight disability where his hands aren’t as flexible – yeah, that would explain it. I dunno. I hope he can settle down, realise there are folk here who aren’t a bunch of arseholes out to hammer him down, and get on with things. But I can see his writing style, whatever causes it, is going to confuse the merry hell out of youse. It took me several months t’ get used to him. 🙂 ---

He’s the type who, rather than follow the herd down the well-worn track, with head up t. That’s fine and all, but is isn’t like the SDMB is exactly lacks quirky, outspoken individualists of widely various opinions, backgrounds and knives ready for whetting. **Finn** isn’t fightin’ The Man, creeping 'Merkin capitalist industrialist whatever, or just his personal demons here. He can either meet the gathering of equally rowdy individualists on level ground or leave–on whatever issue’s on tap at the moment. It ranges from circumscision to gun control, aliens and astrology to cats as pets, mathematical controversies and startling sexual practices. The Pit isn’t the ultimate SDMB destination; it’s just the annex. Finn can either match the company–for wit, passion and sense–or seek other pastures. On the SDMB cross-grained Cecilian pissantness is the ideal–but it carries some obligations. Be prepared to _back up and defend_ what you say–and stream of consciousness spewing, no matter how heartfelt or quirky, will cut it for long haul. ---

I agree, **TVeblen**. S’why I put in my post that he really should ease up and do something about any chips of wood hanging about close by the shoulder area. The fellow appears to others a _lot_ like this, depending on how folk take him. What I was trying to say was – this ain’t just an SDMB performance. And **furt** – _schizophrenia_?? WTF? Mind pointing me in the direction where he’s said _that_? Thanks. ---

TVeblen I’LL reply to you , acknowledge your position as MOD although i have always prefered ROCKERS,the meaning, which could be over your head,but i will not explain.the reason being, i asked for a few explanations of AMERICANISMS, while on different sites but you know what they ignored me…terrible,oh so terrible. You really must be FUCKIN dumb if you,trying the old intellectual detached routine,think i would fall for such fuckin’ crap,and i can spot an ambush, \*\*DELIBERATELY \*\* stretched across all sites that i visited on this board.You know i have had, at least, my opinions confirmed over this last few days,and it’s quite laughable that YOU believe,you would be doing me an honour by permitting me to stay,provided i behave like a nice little AMERICAN, and match you fucking numnuts for wit, passion and sense,dear oh dear how far would i have to FALL to ACHIEVE that. I may well be,\* as an individual,\* oh how do you fucking intellects put it SAYCO,thats it,but your’s is a collective national problem,well no that would be too much of a generalisation,so we’ll say 60 per cent; But your cowardly attempts at intimidation make you such scumbags,but why, FINN, be surprised, it comes from the TOP. Now how about this “The Pit isn’t the ultimate SDMB destination; it’s just the annex” i think exchange a few words and this sentence would PARSE better,exchange places of pit and annex. So an AMERICIAN annex, yes i’m afraid so, you are the creeping cancer to a civilised world, your trying to annex a civilised world.BROTHER CAN YOU SPARE A DIME. Oh you will get your way in IRAQ…it will be the PUMPING STATION OF AMERICA,but watch out for CHINA. OH my GOD we will have another 1956,the reds under the beds syndrome,it hasn’t been used in awhile to frighten your already pavlovian citizens. So in conclusion send in your\*\* GPP SQUAD\*\* OH here MR TVEBLEN AND YOUR OTHER ENFORCER WHOSE NAME ESCAPES ME TOM AND GERRY HAS JUST STARTED,SO FUCK OFF. ---
