Here, AEIOU has just accused Quincy of either having or being a sock puppet. And yet, this is not a troll outing?
I can’t understand that anyone could misinterpret this. It’s maybe not the best way to make a sentence but…
What I mean to say was this: “We are not talking about a leader who have about the same power as the president of France or the prime minister in UK.”
I wanted to point out that the American president have more power and influence on the rest of the world than these two.
Let’s say if someone asked which state or country people here are from, and that I have give the answer -UK here, then it would be rather obvious that I was from UK.
Say, Quincy, why don’t you just clear this up for us.
Where in “Europe” are you from exactly?
Smaller than France, bigger than Luxembourg. Shall we say the Low Countries? I don’t think he’s Portugese, and he doesn’t have the Italian temper. He’s not Austrian. Could be Swiss too, but he’s taking too much crap to be Swiss. I still say the Low Countries. A Walloon maybe?
Is Texas really smaller than Luxembourg?
I always get those two mixed up.
A “false identity” doesn’t necessarily mean a sockpuppet or troll. It just means AIÆ thinks that Quincy is misrepresenting himself as a UKoGBaNI-an.
He pointed out what he perceived to be an inconsistency in Quincy’s posts. If the accusation turns into something stronger than “You seem to contradict yourself on your nation of residence” then I’ll shut this down. But I don’t see a lockable violation yet.
Fighting ignorance…
What the fuck (this is the Pit you know) has size got to do with it? And if it’s about size, France isn’t the largest european country: it’s Russia, followed by Denmark. And Luxembourg is nowhere near the smallest.
And since when are “the Low Countries” a country? And since when is la Wallonie a part of The Area Also Known As The Low Countries? I always thought that TAAKATLC was the part of Europe which mainly lies below sea level and is populated by mainly Dutch-speaking people. Let’s say that little triangle in France containing Dunkerque, the western part of Belgium (West & Oost Vlaanderen, Antwerpen), and most of the Netherlands. But hey, I just live there, so what do I know?
Not Austrian? But he could be German then? Please enlighten me as to how you determine this, having only written English from an obviously non-anglophone person to go from.
Not Portuguese? But he could be Spanish then? See above.
Not that it’s anybody’s business which country QUINCY’’’ is from, but let’s take a stab at this, okay? Let’s look at QUINCY’’’'s use of English.
The only “problem” (everybody seems to understand QUINCY’’’ without too much difficulties) is the mismatch in singular and plural verb conjugations. That is not typical for someone from TAAKATLC or for a Walloon. Let’s generalise and say that a TAAKATLCian speaks a Dutch dialect. The made mistakes would then mostly have doing with syntax. In other words: fucked up sequence and the odd misused synonym / homonym. A Walloon speaks French. Does it look like QUINCY’’’'s original language is French? Not very likely.
My WAG is Scandinavian. In Scandinavian languages (the East Scandinavian languages anyway) there is only one form per tense per verb: jeg er / du er / han er / vi er (I am / you are / he is / we are). I get the feeling QUINCY’’’ lives in an EU country, so that would make it Denmark or Sweden. (QUINCY’’’, if I’m right could you let me know by e-mail? Please? I love being right. I won’t tell anyone. ;))
But for all I know QUINCY’’’ is from a country not speaking a Germanic or Latin language. If that’s the case I’m out of luck, because I know jack about those languages.
QUINCY’’’ never said he was from the UK. That “here” AIÆ complains about was meant to mean “in this thread”, as in: “We’re talking miscommunication here.” Sure, QUINCY’’’ is being very, very coy about his nationality. So? QUINCY’’’ just wants to remain nationality-anonymous. A lot of Americans don’t list or disclose their states of residence. (Both AIÆ - originator of this thread - and Major Feelgud - my quotee - do NOT list their location in their profiles.) Same thing. QUINCY’’’ is from Europe. That should be enough.
And to the person who suggested QUINCY’’’ should get a dictionary or something (I’m not even going to look up who wrote that): fuck you. QUINCY’’’ is obviously writing in a language foreign to him. That means he took the trouble of learning your language. How many languages do you speak? You speak English, Bullshit and Asshole. Anything else?
In this post I’ve assumed QUINCY’’’ is male. QUINCY’’’, if you aren’t, my apologies.
[sup]The Denmark remark: Greenland is part of Denmark.[/sup]
And here I am, wondering why my teeth hurt.
I just found out that the France/Luxembourg reference was QUINCY’’’'s own. Ouch.
Still, he’s entitled to his privacy, even though his coyness reaches improble levels.
And let’s say his views on the US of A are, um, uninformed.
Yeah, and he’s fat, too, hey, skinnyguy? Har har har!
Wanna step on over to my other thread? I’ll brush my teeth for ya…
With a name like Quincy, it’s obvious he wanted to be considered a Brit, or perhaps from Quincy Massachusetts?
He sounds like an American.
A couple of mismatched verb conjugation just proves he’s a product of the US public school system.
cojugations [Now he’s got me doing it. ]
Nice post SkinnyGuy, but I would say that although it is bigger than Leichtentein, Andorra, Monte Carlo, San Marino, and the Vatican City, Luxembourg does count as being close to the smallest country.
And perhaps he’s just a fan of Jason’s pet iguana in Fox Trot.
I should have thought of doing this sooner.
Just so all the lame speculation would end I ran a quick and painless IP lookup on Quincy’s posts. They resolve to a European server. A specific country in Europe, too. So that’s the end of this issue, really.
Oh sure, like that’s not easy to fake. You’ve been taken Alphagene. Everyone knows that Quincy’’’ is actually posting from Thailand.
So tell us where Quincy is from? Inquiring minds want to know.
What the fuck gives you the right to demand that the moderators reveal information about posters that they don’t want revealed?
Oh, never mind Major Feelgud, waterj2. He/She (?) just wants to know what country the big bad-ass US of fuckin’ A should point its kick ass missiles at :rolleyes:
First of all I’d like to apologise for my earlier post. Reading again it wasn’t troll hunting. My bad.
Secondly now that we’ve been told that Quincy isn’t lying it is, to be blunt, none of your fucking business where he/she is from. Everyone here has the right to keep things private if they want.
People may have a point about some of Quincys views but that doesn’t effect his/hers right to privacy.
That’s right! Cower in fear, Dutchman, cuz your country’s third on the list to be blown up! Right after France and Canada.
