help needed (flamenting)

[bottlebomber]

I'm not an Iphone user but it seems autocorrect could use some work...

It actually does pretty well most of the time. What is irritating though it that it "learns" what you like to type about. And that includes typos. Mine will frequently change a word I'm typing into some ridiculous typo that I've made several times.

So this thread brought a cancer to HBT? Maybe the Scotsman's talk will spread at mach speed. And ruin this great site in just a few nights. Tis something I do doubt out-right.

But don't really know.
On with the show!

If you don't speak English as a first language. On here are you considered unaverage? To me it's not up to the HBT mods' schooling.. I'm burning bridges here; in that I'm not drueling.

So comes a guy who speaks in his own way. Most of us comprehend what he does say. He's easy to understand and a new brewing man. Because that's my opinion, and name is really Dan.

He had many responses most in a jovial way, in the things he asked in a non HBT way.

Totally try myself to be clear, use proper grammar but my fragmented sentences abound. I really don't want to leave this Home Brew Town.

But much as I like this place, would leave it before myself I discrace.

Any way I'm getting off my beaten path. To: the bad english speaking scottsman. I'm sorry your thread turned rotten.

Brew something better than alco-What? Post back on here with a little better stuff.

Anyway that's all I have to say. Peace to each of you every day.

The website that helped me quit smoking, quitnet has a Scottish quitters club that I used to visit. They all used the Scottish accent in their spelling (with out the text type), but every one of them could spell/type in the queens English upon request.

Okay, I'm wrong. It is a cancer.. Just read this on a different thread's reply tonight:

You will probably die from the flamentation by products.

Maybe I should delete my previous post.

Wow. Just read the whole thread. I'm new here, among many. I'm an American. I, too, have grown leaps and bounds in my brewing from the fountain of information I've gleaned from this forum. I applaud Dan for his poetic comment on the slaughter of polland. Like a pack of wolves they pounced. Ripped him to shreds. He broke some rules for sure but he wasn't offensive or instigative. Until he obviously got sick of it...He wasnt trolling or flaming. He definately had impediments and maybe wasn't offered the (sometimes) great educations we've had. Pack of wolves. Dang. I don't believe I'm alone in this thinking. Perhaps to polland HBT bummed him out cuz we couldn't accept his handicap. Dunno. Kind of a shame, I think. Cuz this forum is AWESOME and I'm eternally grateful to be involved. Just my thoughts. I hate inequality.

Whatever. Simple rule to live by - don't tell other people they are stupid and have their head up their ass. That's why he was banned. Seems right to me.

Kinda sad all around. I thought his posts were fun, entertaining, and I actually leaned some things (never heard of alkipop, or flamenting). He did cross a line by telling Yooper what he did, and that's not acceptable. Scots is a pretty profane language generally, and Americans might take offense to things that a Scotsman wouldn't blink an eye at.

The forums have to maintain a level of civility and respect to keep their popularity and usefulness. But I think a little more tolerance is in order. Polland got jumped on by a bunch of people who had no call or need to do so. Civility and respect goes both ways.

I tend to agree. For a bunch of beer drinkers, some of the folks here are wound pretty tight. I had a hard time telling if he was pulling our chain or not. I honestly thought the "flamenting"
was a hint the he might have been flaming. If so, wow did it work. The "arse" comment was out of line and the OT comments may have been too (hard telling since they were removed) but he sure put up with some attitude from our friendly community quite well. Either way, fun thread, and I too hope it doesn't spread (both the negative vibe and the spelling)

Sorry. I just had to. I told my fingers to stop, but it was already too late...

 

[sweetcell]

i don't usually subscribe to "slippery slope" arguments, but there is a pretty strong one to be made here: he calls it "flementing". i call it "the unicellular lambada". someone else calls it "3onker131ing". and before you know it, language becomes an impediment to communication and we can't ask each other simple questions without translation.

this is an international message board (with admittedly over-representation from north america). in the interest of keeping things comprehensible by all, let's stick to standard english.

 

[duboman]

Seems a lot of people were telling Poland he had his head up his own ass, and they weren't banned. I guess he wasn't part of the "in" crowd.

The fact is that Yooper(a Mod) stepped in and tried to straighten the thread out and politely explained some rules of the forum and the dude completely dissed her, can't be tolerated, hence the ban

 

[SoupNazi]

So yeah, the bear got poked. Maybe both bears did. Sure, its fun to watch.



But, there is still an OT video clip on this thread that mocks his homeland.


What up with that, mods?

We have a little "report this post" button that brings objectional material to our attention. No one reported any OT video clip, and I certainly don't watch junk like that so I don't know what is in it. If something is reported, we deal with it.

hanson, I'm with you. It also seems to me that if spelling, proper grammar, erudite writing skills, and a ban on drunken rambling were enforced for everyone, 20% of HBT would disappear. I love the knowledge Base I find here on HBT, and enjoy a few mindless diversions as well...helps me lighten up a little. now excuse me while I go find one of them alkopops!

a video clip of a professional comedian mocking his own homeland, which by the way was taken in the good nature it was intended by the aforementioned scotsman, is pretty different from directly telling someone they have their head up their own backside
