help needed (flamenting)

[Darwin18]

You've never heard of the Cheezburger network? Failblog, lolcatz, etc? Google them, you will thank me later. Your productivity at work may suffer though.

I commented on your deliberate misspelling and grammatical issues because you are on a homebrewing forum that can offer you a tremendous amount of information. For free. Not taking the time to write your thoughts out coherently brings down the quality of the forums and turns people off from wanting to engage you in a discussion about brewing. It also comes across like you're an underage poster even though you are not.

 

[polland1983]

thx sweetcell you been a great help il look for star san or iodophor i think i have seen a video of someone use it and after use he bottled it up foor re-use again if its same stuff he was using that craigtube guy he makes it all look well easy

 

[Cromwell]

Ok, first off, best thread ever! There is a little bit of fascination with trying to decipher polland's writing.
I'm curious if it's actually pronounced "flementing" in Scottish.

Darwin, are you aware that he's not actually writing in English? That Scots is actually recognized as a separate language? For all you know, you're the one misspelling things.

I'm not sure there's any excusing alkipop though. LOL

Polland, welcome to the forum. We're all glad you're going to brew beer, and we're here to help.

 

[bob1852]

darwin lol the forum wont suffer coz my spelling

actually, it's against rule #7

Please, no "txtr" or “l337” style typing. Abbreviations are acceptable for specific terms and even the occasional lol or ROTFLMAO, but in the context of a conversation, please spell the words out. It helps to create a more readable and inviting forum experience for everyone.

Haha like "Braveheart Bock" or something similar. There's a great recipe challenge for someone :rockin:

 

[Pappers_]

I think its more likely he's posting on HBT with an empty scotch bottle in his hand. And I suspect that pants are optional . . .

lol you guys are great and yeah i have had a few whiskeys 2day . . .

What about the pants?

 

[Dan]

To me Polland'a posts are sincere, honest, and I enjoy them. A new personality on HBT and I look forward to his future posts and threads!

Or he putting us on.

Cheers 2u n yur bru ya fonetekley speekng Scotsman!

[homebrewertodd]

Lol. I'm enjoying this. Although some are right here. There is a vast amount of knowledge here, a most remember the days long before cell phones and the internet. It's only fair that if you would like some of that knowledge, you make it easy for them to read and understand your questions. I am 100% grateful for this forum and try to soak up as much information as I can, and try to show some respect to those out there with that info.

 

[Yooper]

I removed much of the OT crap. Carry on.

 

[polland1983]

i do respect the info i am given and think alot of the post you have deleted where wrongfuly deleated as i spelt to the best of my ability but you a mod so your entitled to do what you want aparently

 

[hansen_sh]

I'm gun 2 try some o'that alki pop stf

Sounds good and a big hit with the ladies I'm sure. o'course ben that it's flamenting it may be a big hit with the guys too.

(Sorry for the blatant braking of rule #7 but I had to, I couldn't help it)

 

[polland1983]

hensen dont try it its all going mad dont know if its coz the amount of extra sugar and the fact that i put 22.5ltr worth of yeast in plus nutriantsjust for a 4.5ltr batch but its all foaming right up and i tasted some coz i had to get more room in bottle and it tastes like pure alcohole after just 3days :S scarey stuff

 

[Yooper]

It wasn't the spelling, although that was atrocious and I don't read posts that use "u" for "you" or "2" for "two". I don't even know what was said in some of them. That wasn't why anything was deleted, though.

I removed much of the OT crap. Carry on.

OT stand for "off topic" and that is what was deleted. Our policy is no off hand remarks, comments about spelling, insults, etc, in the technical forums.

We are a pretty friendly group for the most part, and sometimes we do have some chatter. But anything off-topic really is out of place, and is usually deleted. Spelling has nothing to do with it.

 

[polland1983]

but alot of the ppl who wer just being dam nasty to me where being ot and i still see there comments

 

[Yooper]

If that is the case, there is a "report this post" button in each post. If you report them, and explain why it should be deleted, a moderator will remove them if indicated. We simply can't read each and every post, but we do moderate things that are brought to our attention if we miss them.

For me, I don't read anything with lots of abbreviations. I don't answer questions with "text speak" or if I have to work to read the post. I do answer a lot of beginner questions, though. But not if I can't read them. I'm old. I use the word "people" instead of "ppl". ppl is only 3 characters less than "people' and I can understand that word- and it takes less than 2 seconds to use 3 more characters to make yourself understood. Oldtimers usually don't give long, thought out and helpful replies when the person asking the question can't be arsed to spend more than 10 seconds formulating the question.

Again, that's not why ANY posts were deleted, just some food for thought if you want comprehensive and helpful advice. It takes me a few minutes to type all this out, of course, and I simply won't do that for someone who doesn't give me the same consideration.

 

[polland1983]

lol ok this is taking all the fun out this site for every1 i mean i type how i type what is the big problem with how i talk it dont take a genious to understand it i think your head is just to far up ur arse you cant see whats in my posts

 

[BrewKnurd]

Could you please at least consider an occasional period, comma, or any punctuation?

You may not take yooper's suggestion seriously, but she's completely right that purple elk see the way you write your posts and just not bother. If you want the best possible response, put in the effort to write clearly.

Is it fair that people won't answer based on the way you choose to write? maybe, maybe not, but honestly, it doesn't matter. All that matters is that many people won't. It's up to you whether you want to write in. a way that will attract the must useful responses or not.

Insulting a moderator on a forum you wish to learn from? When you have been treated with respect, and when you complained of the way you were treated by other posts, you were offered the chance to report them to have them removed?

You know what's funny? I agree- it doesn't take a genius to understand you. However, I happen to have an IQ of 152. I'd probably be much more able to understand if I had an IQ of 70, like you. Or to be twelve years old, which is more likely in your case.

I hope you find another forum where you can be an immature idiot, and I hope you love your alcopops.

Flamenting - when you screwed up your beer, and you are feeling sorry for yourself

I get your point from the context of the post, but the purple elk part has me stumped. Is this a regional reference? Are purple elk reading this forum?

HA! Damn you autocorrect!! Meant to be "people will". I'm just impressed that the sentence was still syntactically sensible, although conceptually bizarre.

Android here, but same deal.

Yup. Didn't come up with that phrase on my own.
