[not op]
i would like to start this on a personal note; thank you for closing the “im a ghost” thread, people had stopped caring about the subject and gone off posting something totally unrelated. i had tried ending the thread earlier but still some need to post as i would call it “needless gibberish”.
thats my opinion anyway.

back to the quote.
yes sure, you can be free to belive that is the purpose of me being here, i could tell you that you are wrong but that would just be pointless wouldnt it?
i have the feeling that no matter what i say some people that have followed my career here on the SDMB will belive what you said in the quote above.
all i can say is: i am really sorry you feel that way, in the future i hope to prove you wrong.
bj0rn - just wanted to make the statement and in order to do that i had to make a new thread. feel free to comment, perhaps this thread contains some flammable subject.
Ten bucks says Alpha will, upon seeing this thread, spit out his coffee, call you every name in the book, and close this motherfucker faster than you can say “Look out for that Geiser”.
Well, bj0rnie, I’ll say that you’re not the worst bloke to come through the Straight Dope. But, then again, I hope you don’t take offense when I say that, in the past, it’s seemed as if your motives in some matters were questionable, and verging on malicious at times.
I don’t know if this was intended on your part or not. Frankly, I don’t care, and leave that up to others to post about. But, just think about something for a second - and please, take this as constructive criticism - you don’t have the greatest grasp of typewritten, English communication. Oftentimes, it’s difficult to make out what you mean in a post.
In no way does this reflect on your overall intelligence… indeed, one could be absolutely brilliant and still be a lousy typist (in English, of course). But if this is the case - if the basic problem is that it’s a bit more difficult for you to make yourself clear - don’t you think you can be a bit more careful about how you word your posts in the future? After all, I seriously doubt anybody would want to mistranslate what you say.
Again, please take this as constructive criticism.
BTW, am I the only doper who wonders which fool bj0rn believe is up Coldie’s ass? God knows, there are so many to choose from…(fools, that is, not people up Coldie’s ass).

considering the remarks i have recieved about my “coherency” progress since my first post, i belive i am more careful about how i post.
i say it is not a question of wanting to mistranslate, obviously nobody wants to mistranslate a statment made… consciously perhaps, as part of a joke or something but not generally.

Bj0rn, you know I don’t give a damn what your typewriting looks like, or the capital letters, or any of the other grammar stuff. But I have to say, you know you can prove Alpha wrong, right now, this very minute, by saying something.

Say something. I await your reply with interest.
Deja vu, we went through this a year ago. Well, I’m game if you are…
