Why should anyone have to sift through the affectations to see if there is any substance there? We’re about communicating ideas, if you want to try to do so in pig Latin, have a go. But don’t rag us for the slagging you’ll take for such piss poor communication skills.

But you keep stylin’ bra, and don’t let the man make you conform! You’re like the hippest, baddest ass in 7th grade!

(Maybe all the ET’s read your posts and now think humans are devolving, not evolving!)

Okay, I’m closing this topic now. If you wish to write/communicate in a manner where people can understand you, that’s fine. If you wish to have a topic in which you share your poetry, that’s fine. If you wish to have a topic where you want to communicate using nothing but poetry, that’s even fine (in the Game Room)…but this topic doesn’t appear to be any of the above, so I’m sticking a fork in it.

Also, insults are not allowed in this forum, so this is your first and last note about this. Do not insult members of this forum outside of the BBQ Pit and do not recreate this topic unless it has a point more than this one had.
