I have more than 300 posts on this board. You came up with 5 instances and say that it is indicative of an inflated ego.
I have better things to do then sift thro your posts and come up with cites to prove my point to you. As a sample, 5 are enough!

I’ll explain the context to each of the posts that you quoted:
1. To mercury
Mercury suggested that English language skills were not important.
That is incorrect.
This was his first post on the thread:
Quote:

This is not needed. Nobody is required to be perfect in a foreign language.
He has in other posts commented about his working in a warehouse.
As can be seen he only said that "Nobody is required to be perfect in a foreign language." He did not say:

"English language skills were not important."
Mercury's 3rd post in the thread was:

I dont understand your second sentence?????
If you have scrutinized my other posts so minutely you also must have read my experience with chinese folks, a lot of whon really are terrible at English.
Yet successful. I am speaking (as always) from personal experience.
As is evident he is only defending his position that one does not have to be perfect in the english language and gives examples to justify his view. Instead of going and searching for those posts where he has written more about his "experience" you ridicule him and attribute his lack of knowledge of the real scene to the fact that it is "possibly" because he works in warehouses. How much more louder and clearer does it have to be for someone to realize that it was a mean and contemptible thing to do??

2. Incidentally Sridharm sent a PM intended for me to Mercury.
And you alsojeered at him for that like thus:

For all your talent and intelligence, you go around sending PM's to the wrong people and haven't figured out how to use the 'quote' feature as yet.

3. From BL to me:
BL asked me to modify the words of the particular post since they could have been misconstrued as a personal attack. I revisited my post and modified the wording!
The above example was only to show that your posts have been found offensive by the mod too and that you were asked to rephrase it. Somehow you do seem to have a tendency to phrase your posts in such a manner that always get "misconstrued". Seems to speak volumes about your communication skills, eh?

4. Are you guys offended by the word ‘chink’? Funny, I know many chinese who are not!
WTF are you talking about? Where did I mention anything about "chinks"?

5. I posted a PM that had been made to me onto the board, did I explicitly ask anyone to sneer and jeer?
Why else would you someone's personal mail to you! If you want to reply, you send a PM back. If you want to discuss, you do it on PM and if you want to bring the discussion into the forum, I think it is only courteous to do it with the consent of the other person, and if not interested in anything just tell the other person to FO! Why post someone's PM on the board?

You do make fun of people's shortcomings, especially their english language. You come across as an arrogant and conceited egotist. There will be several who can corroborate my view.

That’s your opinion…....
No, it is not only my opinion. I can provide more quotes, unless you have not already modified and updated those posts using the "edit" facility.

Wouldn’t think that it is a’failed attempt’ we would probably have still had ‘Wisernow’ posting as well as ‘Diogenes’ posting on the website had it not been for the expose.
Pity your memory! Do you recall that thread and was discussed? Do you remember BL agreeing that he was aware of my two IDs? Does that jog your memory any? Or are you still amnesic? Something that is already known to the mod is not an expose anymore!! Get it knucklehead?

Reprimand from the mod?
Here are two posts by BL from that thread:
Quote:
1. Crenshaw
I think we should move on now from this, I don't believe there's any resolution here.
2.Fellas, enuff said on this matter, let's put a stop to this. I will now start enforcing this.
Let Wisernow RIP.
If you have been on regulated message boards and are familiar with the way they work, that is not short of a reprimand. Do you need to be physically bawled at before you consider it a reprimand?

Never said anything of the sort. I said that his assumptions about the importance of English and the fact that he works in a warehouse were POSSIBLY related. You have extrapolated the rest……….
I have extrapolated nothing! You are only trying to wiggle out from the situation to save your sorry ass. But that's alright. It takes a lot more maturity to accept that it was wrong and say "sorry"!

The single, middle aged and frustrated comments are in response to your “fart” comments on your first post on this thread….
Precisely my point. You have no qualms making personal attacks on people and trying to take jibes on their personal status, be it weak english, age or being single! You really are pathetic!
Quote:
Orginally posted by crenshaw
You got your facts wrong……..I made my comments about Mercury’s assumptions about English POSSIBLY being related to the fact that he works at a warehouse BEFORE his comments about the Chinese.
You do need to work a little more to cover your ass better before you start shooting off your mouth. Ok here we go...you sure make me work a lot and I have to do it because it pains me to see smarty pants get off with lies and deceit.
Here is the sequence again:
1. First - mercury's post:
Quote:
Orginally posted by mercury
This is not needed. Nobody is required to be perfect in a foreign language. We are not even perfect in our own language, why worry about other languages?
2. Next - your post
Quote:
Orginally posted by crenshaw
Most certainly is needed! While one does not have to be perfect its important ...yappity...yappity...yap..
3. Next - mercury's post:
Quote:
Orginally posted by mercury
Thats your opinion.
You can choose to not understand the obvious....what were you thinking about the "make love between you and God" sentence....lets hear it
4. Next - your post:
Quote:
Orginally posted by crenshaw
Well, goes for you too, you can choose not to understand the obvious.....
I mean you think English language skills are not important and you work in a warehouse, based on what you've posted on other threads.......
5. Next - mercury's post: (Please note that this is the one with the mention of the "chinese"...ok? Don't forget now...ok?
Quote:

I dont understand your second sentence?????
If you have scrutinized my other posts so minutely you also must have read my experience with chinese folks, a lot of whon really are terrible at English.
Yet successful. I am speaking (as always) from personal experience.
6. And finally - your post( And I am quite sure I see your "POSSIBLY" wala statement here. Don't you?)
Quote:
Orginally posted by crenshaw
Well, I haven't 'scrutinized your other posts minutely'. You've bitched for quite sometime about how you work in a warehouse, lifting boxes, which was scr**wing up your back.
I made an observation that you consider English to be a foreign language, you don't consider that it is necessary to be fluent and you work in a warehouse. POSSIBLY, the fact that you work in a warehouse is related to your assumptions about English........yappity..yappity...yap
So, you see I have my facts straight and right!

Unfortunately, I can’t tell you to grow up……..your closer to your second childhood now.
Maybe...but you sure are not out of your first yet!
Man, you certainly took the pain of standing up for me.....not many have done so on this forum.
To that I say Thank You and Merci.
Let it go....You first post and Other posts (with samples) show clearly what is going on. And now things are in "PERSPECTIVE" .....

I once made a mistake, but I was wrong about it.
Diogenes (formerly known as Wisernow)!
Bottomline is you are frustrated because you were caught out when Wisernow was exposed. While the mod may have known about it, the fact that you were posting under 2 different id's and espousing 2 contradictory views was not known to the other contributors on the board.
I'm not about to go reading thru all of the crap that you've posted, I do have better things to do.
I've already told you that you're a frustrated SINGLE old fart. I can't tell you to go grow up cos you're nearing your second childhood. So fart on, all you will, I couldn't care less.
I'll post the way I see fit, you're free to do the same.

...and again....
He's just obsessed about his so called "expose". Even though BL has calrified so many times.....talk about beating a dead horse.
So what have we here...a successful, arrogant, foul mouth and an obsessive too.

The 3 of you need to take your personal attacks offline. This well intentioned thread has turned into a personal and hurtful spat( like many other threads in the past) , in which no one is interested other than you guys.
Its time to STOP.

Please note that It is Crenshaw who starts with personal attacks.
Dio has clearly shown that. He seemes to have difficulty making his point (right or wrong, successful or not) without resorting to such.
Do you expect People to just say nothing in response?

Now go crunch some numbers.....
