...two esteemed members ....temporarily incommunicado...

Sounds vaguely Mexican, but where exactly is Communicado - and does it have go-go boys?

I'm looking forward to their reports.

Have you also noticed that at least 3 of the "people posting" have suddenly appeared from nowhere, and one of them (Argosy) knows everything that's been said on the board for years?

Just sayin' like.

Scottish-guy, I’d argue in the course of normal events, all people posting on this forum have “suddenly appeared from nowhere.”
Your assertion that I know everything that’s been said on the board for years, is pure hyperbole. Thanks for your frigid welcome.

The point is not that a new poster “suddenly appeared from nowhere” - it’s that 3 or more have simultaneously appeared exactly after 2 were suspended.

As has already been pointed out by others, you have referred to matters which occurred prior to your arrival. Maybe you have crystal balls?

Are you into conspiracy theories? Your posting implies 3 people simultaneously joined this forum for some, as yet unstated reason, that's obvious to you. Please spill the tea, I'm all ears.
I've been a long time lurker of the forum, and am aware of some matters that occurred prior to my arrival. My balls aren’t made of crystal and finally, my objection to your quote "(Argosy) knows everything that's been said on the board for years" was predicated on your liberal embellishment of the facts, nothing else.

I thank Mr Jellybaby for keeping the home fires burning in my absence

Some of our members have been known to turn to the Holy Bible for inspiration. So, following suit, I found that John, Chapter 8 verse 7, with the most minimal of tweaking, is particularly apposite in cases like these.

If you don’t care or can’t be bothered about your spelling and grammar you’re showing your contempt for your readers. Spelling matters so that people know whether you mean peek (look), peak (climax), or pique (excite or arouse) without having to work it out for themselves. Or they could join Cathay Pacific - https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...-side-of-plane. Surely everyone “knows” what was meant, those who insist on a correct spelling are just “spelling nazis” or “grammar nazis” aren’t they? Similarly punctuation is there to enhance meaning, so I usually never use a full stop at the end of a paragraph - it's a hangover from the 19th century because paper was a scarce commodity

Grammar is there to ensure that ambiguity does not interfere with the reader’s understanding – the difference between “knowing your shit” and “knowing you’re shit” to use a popular example, or the one that applies to some of our posters: “You're not going to be happy when I tell everyone that your grammar sucks”. Surely American members need no reminder that the greatest contemporary offender against the English language is none other than The Donald – perhaps they secretly wish to emulate their hero? On the other hand there’s Secretary of State Pompeo’s War Against The Misplaced Comma - http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer...ed-commas.html

I’ve said this once before but I’ll say it again. I’m unashamedly an elitist. I write for those I regard as the Forum’s elite – Mr Jellybaby, scotty, Matt, Smiles, snotface, Brad, poshglasgow and one or two others. I don’t write for the hoi polloi and their opinions are mere dust under the wheels of my chariot. In the immortal words of Malcolm Tucker, “Do you know ninety percent of household dust is made of dead human skin. That’s what you are to me”

And if that’s too hard to bear, there’s always the Jane Austen quotation: “I dearly love a laugh... I hope I never ridicule what is wise or good. Follies and nonsense, whims and inconsistencies do divert me, I own, and I laugh at them whenever I can”

The Moderators, I am sure, will help you find the {Ignore} feature if you don’t want to read what I write

Are you saying that due to arsenal and frequent being suspended, more people are now posting? I'd have an easier time believing it's simply due to weather and rain, or similiar.

Winter is upon us, so it's no real surprise some people once again have Thailand on their minds, as winter sucks in most of the Western world. I know the weather is absolute shit where I am right now, and I can't wait to get back to Asia. Hopefully in about one more week.

I don't know what the hell my parents were doing, but their life, up to them. If I was retired and had the money they do, I sure as shit wouldn't live here where it's cold, dark, cloudy, and rainy 8 months of the year.

[paborn]

No. In fact, I have no idea why there are more people posting. Your weather might be terrible, but I'm in South Florida and it's lovely. I will say this: any of the three most frequent posters here are fine by themselves. However, once started the board is dominated by the fireworks. It's much quieter now. People tend to come out when there is no storm brewing. It's the metaphysical "weather" that has improved.

Not so long ago a post started by andyrose, drifted into the subject of Karma.
Karma’s a bitch, and “what goes around comes around” is applicable to two esteemed members recently finding themselves in the position of having extra time on their hands, while they’re temporarily incommunicado.

In the interim, I trust these gentlemen use their time wisely to reflect on themselves, their actions, and hopefully turn over a new leaf.

On a final note, one of the two mentioned above needs to slap himself upside the head next time he feels the need to use the word apposite. I’d venture to say it has grown tiresome.

arsenal! My hero! You made it under the wire. Keep up your attacks on frequent - they're the best things on this Board

[snotface]

Argosy is quite obviously arsenal. Apart from the stylistic similarities, he can't even bring himself to suspend his dislike of SG and frequent for four posts! Sherlock Holmes will not be required on this one, A Case of Identity.
