Ups and Downs of Living Together

[kobnach]

*rofl* I take it you failed to recognize the literary allusion

Oh no, I get it, I figured it was funnier if I pretended not to. You take my point on the extra wordiness though?

Actually, I like wordiness.

But I can see you do not.

I like Ideas, words are wrapping paper, and too much packaging obscures form.

I believe the proper comment is "Geez guys, get a room already".

@kobnach:
As I said, I live on the fringe of town, and I've never tried to fit in. I'm not even technically a member of the village. Nevertheless, my presence is somewhere between tolerated and accepted by the various authorities. Whether or not this makes me a "Bottleneck person" I'm not sure, but I do have first-hand knowledge of what goes on in the area.

Second class citizen?

Well your summary of the post you labelled too large rather failed to get the point.

There was a point?!?!?

Sharper than thine wit. One's proclivity towards verbosity can only harm those failing to apprehend their continued reading, and captive audiences. I would assume you are neither. Or perhaps you find contentment in making no attempt at comprehension in the first place?

The first rule of talking to Erik is you don't try to make sense of what he says

Wot does thine mean?

[Erik_the_Blue]

Wot does thine mean?

'Thine' is a singular second person prevocalic possessive determiner. Enough words for you?

[niltrias]

Whereas what we need here is an archaic singular second person nominative pronoun, unless I miss my guess.
