From a thread at CE... this wouldn't add anything there, but was just too good to pass up for a quibbler like me...

Apologies to Illumina Drathiran'ar.
We, the kindly moderators of Ironworks Gaming Forum will be hanging the accused, Bungleau, from the nearest cyber tree tomorrow, which will include (but not limited to) a severe flogging at the same time. Mods, take this one away to the holding cell. [ 11-01-2006, 10:55 PM: Message edited by: Larry_OHF ] |

What? What did I do? Was it being even more pedantic? Or allowing CE to fester over into GD? Or something more insidious?
TL, I'm going to need defense help.... quickly! [img]graemlins/hidesbehindsofa.gif[/img]

It was for being pedantic! Bungy, since you have 7k plus posts, I guess you've been on the net for awhile now. So you must know that netiquette requires you to NOT criticize grammar or spelling unless in that type of forum. Love [img]smile.gif[/img]

Besides, we've not had a public hanging or flogging in a while and we're just bored. So...you'll do nicely.
Any last meal request? |
