It's what you often do on the forum, 'rephrasing' other's posts.

Care to provide an example?  I maintain that I quote others, and don't tell them what they think or why they think it.  Prove me wrong.

I look at it this way, the more I engage you in debate, the less time you have to follow around or pick on some of our younger or more vulnerable posters. I regard this as a community service for the forum. 

It always bring a smile to my face when I sign in to Languish and look at the threads I've posted in, to find a grumbler post taking a pop at me, all the better if it included a straight out ad hominem.  :cool:


I think many here are aware of your various semantic nickpicks, mischaractisations of another member's posts and other tactics employed in your attempts to declare yourself the 'winner'.

How much re-phrasing plays in your 'game', I can't be arsed to find out, because I don't respect you and indeed find you one of the most contemptible posters I've ever encountered on the internet. 

Which I find rather sad, as I think you'd probably turn out to be a top-bloke in real life if we ever met, no doubt you've got a wealth of life experience that many posters would be proud to have and I among them  would probably enjoy greatly hearing about them. 

I won't presume to offer you any advice, as how you wish to come over is your choice. If you're happy with the way you appear on the internet, then do carry on, though I do think there are other, better alternatives to the role you play on this forum. 

Best wishes Mongers.

So you admit it.

I didn't think you could back your accusations with examples.  Thanks for proving my point.

I would like to say that Grumbler is deliberately dishonest when arguing and frequently fabricates other people's positions.  If I am wrong in this, let him speak up, if I am correct let him be silent.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I like Mongers.

Good grief,  Seigy thanks for that.

You know you're actually much 'loved' here.  :cheers:

The only downside to your comment is, yet again, it's not from a women.   :P

Isn't it unreasonable to expect him to go through your posts?  Besides, there's years of dickery that's locked in the old forum archives, and is thus inaccessable.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Your first point is true, but it's also unreasonable to judge grumbler by posts from six years ago if his recent posts aren't in the same vein.
