    Re: Where is everyone?

    "I'm assuming you're alluding to me."

    Well, as a matter of fact, I wasn't.

    But if the shoe fits, wear it.

    I asked you a while ago if you were posting using speech to text, but you never replied. It's just that it seemed very odd that if you were, the software was somehow able to distinguish between a word used in its normal sense - "crispy" - and the same word used as a trade mark -"Krispy ". No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get speech to text to make that distinction. I mean, how would it know??

    So I'm presuming you are typing, despite being blind. (although why you wouldn't use speech to text is beyond me.) And that leads to other rather obvious questions.

    How come "into" appeared as "omtp" and yet you had no trouble spelling "obituaries"? If letters were going to be typed out of place, then surely it would happen when you type a long word which is relatively hard to spell.

    Why did you spell "where" as "wherere"? To do that, you would have had to deliberately type 2 more letters at the end of the word. Why would you add more letters to such a common word?

    And you also neglected to answer the question I asked regarding how someone who had lost their sight all of a sudden would have nothing better to do than to continue to post on a gay website as though nothing unusual had happened to them.

    Nothing you have posted so far about going blind makes any sense at all. It's pure farce.

    Stevie Wonder is, apparently, going to make some kind of important announcement later this year, after he was filmed miraculously catching a falling microphone firmly in his left hand. It was an instinctive reaction so he didn't have time to think.

    Perhaps you should think about making a similar announcement.

    Then who were you alluding to? There's latin, and I think we all collectively dislike him, myself included, although I still don't think that's justification enough to ban him.

    Then there was recently that SGlad guy who was here for a while. I have no idea if he was Beachlover or not, nor do I really care, but I at least thought he made some decent contributions. Nonetheless, fountainhall seems to have fucked him off rather quickly.

    Aside from that, who else would you consider a troll? After all, there's only about 15 of us here.


    Oh, and as for your speech-to-text question, I didn't answer as due to previous comments you made directed towards me, I decided it wasn't worth dignifying. No, I don't use speech-to-text at all on the computer. 60% of the time I'm typing code, I bounce around applications too much, don't really care about typos in personal messages, and for work related messages wouldn't trust its accuracy enough. I just use a screen reader called Orca, so it reads the screen out to me, plus every time I press a key it speaks what character I typed.

    The reason for things like double L's is because when typing a non-work message like a SGT post, I generally type closer to my normal speed, and screen reader can't keep up at all. So when it says "L L" in ~0.2 seconds while I'm typing away, I usually won't even notice. Then when having it read back to me to proofread it, the words "result" and "resullt" will sound exactly the same, so I won't notice then either. There you go, mystery solved.

    Oh, and "b" is the keyboard shortcut to select the next push button on the page (ie. Post Quick Reply), but obviously I forgot to unfocus from the textbox at first. Then I have no idea why "n" is there, but I'm assuming because it's beside "b". Other than that, if you ever decide to act like a respectful, mature adult and ask properly, maybe I'll take the time to answer in kind. Otherwise I could less what you think, but it would be really nice if you had the decency to use your 'silent voice".

    Not true! Initially I stood up for sglad despite reservations and others including Christianpfc outright stating he appeared a troll. I was soon proved wrong. His more recent posts could never have been made by a young 20s from Singapore allgedly studying in Chiang Mai. The comparisons with BL were similar in some respects, but I have a feeling he was not that near destroyer of a Boards but another old groaner who does in fact live in Chiang Mai area.
