Trying to find purpose in (most of) Boz's posts is akin to trying to find purpose in the streak left by your dog as it scoots its rear along the carpet of your living room.
The more you stick around, staring, the more your senses will be offended.

LOL what? ok let's go thru this. keep in mind b4 u complain i said two lines to mr. white, it's not me who keeps it going.Originally Posted by lurppis
An idiomatic expression is a special form of speech. Its meaning cannot be known merely from the meanings of its words. Familiarity breeds contempt is an idiomatic expression. Contempt breeds is not an idiomatic expression; at best it is a neologism. Therefore, u must take 'contempt breeds' at face value. Thus, 'contempt breeds' is improper usage. Contempt breeds in no way implies the possibility of familiarity breeds contempt; what it does imply is the writer misused the idiom. At face value, it means that contempt reproduced asexually. This is nonsense. Another definition of breeds is to cause. Contempt cannot be the cause and the effect, and this form is used in the transitive sense. Again nonsense.
The contradiction speaks for itself? The question was not genuine confusion regarding whether consequences or dealers were helpless. The question points to the fact that the sentence is a run-on, and uses improper grammar in the form of subject/pronoun confusion. That is obvious. That is why I used the term obviously. If u couldnt see that, then well, like the average american, u might read at a 6th grade level. And it's a fact, that's about where the average adult is. But yeah, lol...feel free to debate it further.

I have no intention of complaining to anyone, but on the off chance that anybody still wants to use this thread to discuss its intended topic, I have nothing further to say here about grammar. Maybe I should have stopped sooner, but there's nothing I can do about that now. Let me know via PM if you want to read my response to the above, and I will endeavour to write and send it after I have slept.
Hi ho the dairy-O, a trolling we will go???? What in the world is goin on?? Todays lesson: never miss your meds.

Hi everyone.
So this is my first post on this forum, and I hadn't imagined my first post to be a reply to a thread like this, but it's gotta start somewhere, right? =)
(Usually I create a new thread introducing myself into a forum of a particular niche - oh well)...
So I'm pretty tech-savvy, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to PM someone on this forum. I even searched Google for 'how to PM someone on vBulletin' - oh well...perhaps I have to have you on my friends list before being able to PM?
I attempted to add you, "moo321" to my friends list. Perhaps after you "accept" I can then PM you? Nonetheless, I've studied the game for years, play every now and then, and am in the metro.
There is much more to "my story" but I'd prefer to stay as anonymous as possible at this point.
moo321, If you are able to PM me please do so and I'd be happy to put together a quick video for you introducing myself, background, etc. before you go further with me (unless you'd prefer coffee somewhere first).
Thanks.
