knobby of knees? if one has knobby knees they shouldn’t post on message boards?
please explain.
djf750: This is not the way to win friends and influence people. Trust me, you aren’t coming out of this thread smelling of roses.
If you want to, why don’t you start using capitals again, and no one here will think you’ve lost this battle that you seem to be fighting. Believe me, no one will think you’re any less of a man for it.
“What is this thing you call…love?”
I find it strange that an innocuous post from Miller to another poster would somehow cause poster djf750 to forever change his capitalizing ways.
However, I find it strangest of all that a 52 year old man would use the title of a Japanese compilation Rave CD from DJ Hell as his user name.
[Kirk]Giraffe, I come from a place… not like this one. A place where… middle-aged men do not whine like petulant teenagers… a place where… capitalization… is common… and accepted. My ship… my starship… is up there… right now. I can take you away from all this. You… don’t… have… to live like this.[/Kirk]
And you wonder why I stalk you.
you seem like a nice guy, samarm. i really mean that.
/capitals on/
Now, did you take that less seriously because I did not capitalize?
Could you read it ok? I agree that capitalization looks better. If you look at my posts up until this one, I was capitalizing. But when busybodies like you and miller start pontificating about good writing IT DRIVES ME UP THE WALL.
It is not your business to correct people here about the way they write unless it is completely unintelligible.
And as an proud American and a proud Veteran, I will fight to the DEATH my right as a free human on the planet EARTH to type without using capitals on the STRAIGHT DOPE MESSAGE BOARD! If that makes me wrong, by God I don’t want to be right! (huh?)
/capitals OFF/
now what was that shit about friends and influence?
Miller knows all about your stalking. It’s not that easy keeping a low profile when you’ve got a neck that’s 6 feet long, is it?
anybody have any X?
JUST KIDDING MODS!!! (all capitals)
Yeah, American soldiers FOUGHT AND DIED for our right to type without capitals! Miller, for fuck’s sake, you’re spitting on the graves of those brave men and women.
You insensitive asshole. And with Memorial Day right around the corner! Have you no shame? At long last, sir, have you no shame?
But… but… I’m always so careful to look away and whistle innocently when he looks in my direction!
Thank you, Walter Sobchak.
Ah fuck it.
You guys wore me down.
If nobody else posts here, I’ll keep using capital letters.
Simply speaking, because I thought it might perhaps be helpful to have a full explanation of my perspective. One strives, after all, for correctness and precision.
First of all, thank you for the compliment! However, to be quite honest, I view you as someone who is serious about a foolish refusal to capitalize and is thus insistent on making himself less clear than he would otherwise be. I find that to be irritating, only a small step up from things like “u r wrong,” which is an abomination unto God (there’s a Gaudere’s Law pun waiting to be made there, I think).
And since I’m so so close to hitting 1000 and the last thing I want to do is to accidentally waste it on a thread about capitalization, that’s my last word on the subject. 
On preview, I see that the good guys won. Congratulations upon your return to the proper capitalization society!
I just figured it all out. djf750 is Scott, the Dad that did X with his kids in that HBO documentary Small Town Ecstasy.
Ok, even though I made it clear that if anybody posted after me, since g8rguy is such a damn GOOD writer, I will keep capitalizing.
And this doesn’t mean that I am admitting I was wrong. It is a message board for goodness sake. Even HIS name has message board AOL IM written all over it.
Things are sometimes done differently online.
But please, no more.
I’m begging you.
I’ll be good, sister. I promise. Please don’t send me to Father O’Flaherty again.
That is not me!!
But that guy IS pretty cool. Rave on , Scotty.
Hijack:
djf750 will you check yer damn email, already?
yeah, she agreed with me in the email. she was just afraid that the mob would turn on her. oops
Capitalize you dolt!
He lies, and he lies badly.
Email was about a totally irrelevant issue since I have not even read this thread.
PS - you have more mail, beeeyotch.
