I was not trying to start a fight with this board
[QUOTE=Steve4; 1505574]Well your message seemed pretty confrontational to me about a well respected member of "our" group. That's where I have a problem when someone comes in and starts some bullshit.
That said, maybe you truly were kidding Glock or just blowing smoke but if we come to your fair city and start something I would understand if you were a respected member in your area to have someone call me out and ask me to leave.
As BC pointed out, Thalamus and his group had a long run of stirring up problems and if you truly wanted to comment on someones grammar you might have RTFFF.[/QUOTE]I came here to admire Glock's handiwork, and saw the fight over grammar. The board software has chopped up my own writing, and I didn't think it was fair to hit someone over that.
In general, fights over grammar don't help anyone, and a lot of the people who get into those fights don't do so well themselves, which is the only point I was trying to make. I didn't know the history of who was causing trouble, so it appears I stepped into more than I bargained for.
I'm a frequent silent visitor to this board; I hope one day to be a visitor to your city, and that no one will try to knock my head off when I show up.
If anyone's coming East, I'm happy to give suggestions or backchannel introductions to other seniors from Virginia up to Delaware.
Regards,
Bunker Buster
Sorry About the Misunderstanding

Bunker Buster[/QUOTE]Sorry, some of us just took your post the wrong way, thought you were another Talibunny. I also have a reputation for flying off the handle. The Memphis board is actually very friendly. Steve and BootyCall are two of the nicest guys you could ever meet. I'm glad you like my photos so keep looking. Memphis is also a great place to visit so y'all come down and spend some of that east coast money. If I am ever in your neck of the woods, maybe you can direct me to some nice lady who needs some photos to post. I work cheep.
Just so everyone's clear on where I stand in the dispute
[QUOTE=Glockman;1506021]Thanks for the comment. Here is another previously unposted photo of Monica making a meal out of me and coming back for more.[/QUOTE]I'm OK with Glockman's dickshots as long as there's a girl somewhere in the frame, which I believe is the official Memphis position.
I need to head out there just to meet this auburn-haired beauty with hypnotic eyes. If she disappears one day, you'll have to hunt me down to get her back.
Thou dost protest too loudly, methinks
[QUOTE=Bunker Buster; 1504709]Check your own English. It's spelled "grammar," not "grammer," and "italicize," not "italicise."
The supposed errors you criticize Thalamus for (improper capitalization, failure to italicize, etc.) are a function of the board software, which automatically capitalizes following a period, and often does the same following italicization and bolding.
Putting on airs by putting down someone else's intelligence rarely impresses.[/QUOTE]Checking my spelling, I did make a typo on "grammer." However, according to Webster's,"italicise" is the English variant of the word, so your criticism there is unfounded.
Further, the errorrs you attribute to baord software CAN be overcome, as they were in my post.
If Thalamus's (correct possessive form according to Strunk & White) posts are still available for review, should you care to take the time to read them, you would understand why there was a negative reaction to him. I believe a review of my posting history would reveal generally informative, non-imflammatory posts. My response to Thalamus was based on his presentation of himself to this board.
As for your final comment, you fail to impress.
