Capital M for the one.
sorry to hear that. it seems to be catching.
beg pardon
mrs micra has never been capitalised. youâve clearly not been paying attention.
Even if she hasnât be capitalised, the Y at the start of the next sentence probably should.
I know youâre the gasroom resident pedant, but surely you should get the basics before picking up on other people all the time.
Unless youâre now trying to be ironic?
gasroom should be capitalised!
Canât get away with a little Saturday silliness with you @thedancingyak can I.
Sorry @thedancingyak, Iâm not picking up on anyone. Just a silly jape with @kim_il_swan.
I shall need chapter and verse on all these alleged picking ups on people that you claim Iâm perpetrating âall the time.â

All the latest, unmissable stuff on the Gasroom Merchandise thread. See you there.
Iâm suggesting Yakkety Yak for our dancing friend.
Oh, have I got under your skin for picking up on errors.
Shame.
Are you genuinely trying to come across like a massive tosser?

To be fair they are succeeding beyond expectations

Yes. I was.
You see, we can all be tossers and I was being one because I have taken effort with that poster to explain my struggles with writing several times on both this forum and the previous one. I have struggled for 40+years. Iâm done with playing nice when I have gone out of my way of explaining myself previously. I also have an opinion and will join in if I feel like I have something to say.
But this 87 year old gentleman seems to like to hide behind the quirkiness of his forum persona being a light hearted grammar Nazi and doesnât bother to take things into account despite his years of life should have taught him to give a bit of allowance towards others, especially, if they take the effort to try and explain.
And I am happy to explain my position - as I am doing so here.
Itâs got to the point I feel he is being purposely obtuse - or worse unaware of how his words might land - and even started passive aggressive in tagging me and making unprovoked jokes about me/with me (like the above) and also weird condemnations about wanting to prolong discussions. (And has done with others replying to posts)
On a forum. The cheek if it, I know.
He may think itâs harmless, Iâd say for people thatâs sensitive to it, has explained their personal position and they continue to do it, it could be regarded of low level bullying.
So yes, I am aware I was being a tosser. I was just giving back what I thought I was getting.
If I am being a Dick, I have no issue with people being a dick back to me or Blocking me. Whatever. But I wonât stand the pearl clutching if they continually nibble at people and they bite back.
I wonât call for them to be blocked or have a ban or whatever. But I will defend myself.
