Guest alex Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 From the Oxford English Dictionary: "Reply: say or write something in response to something said or written." Keep digging though Tbf I don't think he was replying, but commenting... In this context, what's the difference? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest icemanblue Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I suggest you look up 'reply' Putting more thought and valuble time into interpreting your post, I have also been drawn to the possiblility that I think you might actually be referring to the process by which my words came to the screen. But you see, I did not press 'reply', I pressed the button labled 'quote', and susequently the form element labeled 'post' which submitted my missive to the remote machine. And so, even in the most abstract sense there was no 'reply'. I hope you can learn from this lesson and grow into at least a gentleman, for I fear that as a scholar you may have already missed the mark. Arf. A reply is a response to something said or written tbh. I think that before you butchered that dictionary definition, it was meant to read "To give an answer or response in speech or writing". In the truest sense, I did neither. I didn't have to look it up. Unlike you it would seem I simply cannot comprehend the audacity it must take to wave that tongue at me while you continue to revel face down in a barrel brimful of ignorance. Getting things wrong does not deserve a little dance just because you claim to have managed the feat without the use of a dictionary. Amen to that.

Keep digging though There! There you go with that tongue again! I hope you forever trip on it in the same manner as you continue to stumble towards any semblance of an worthwhile arguement. If I comment to a friend how unacceptably dire I found the column in the Times to be this morning, would you class that as a 'reply'? I gravely suspect that you might. I and the rest of humanity however, would not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's taking the strict OED definition, rather than your's, of course. Why do you so passionately make demands on me? I referenced your post, but that is all. You are like a young man pining for attention claiming that the Prefects button that I placed on another boys breast was actually meant for your own. My commentary was aimed at others and at no point did I address you directly, and (by the sweet Gods of antiquity) if there was a button that laid my words open to everyones eyes but your own, for the trouble you have caused me I would have surely pressed it. This is a threaded forum, not a nested forum, and in the future I would advise you to bear that in mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE5 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Never mind Bellamy. I still can't get over the fact Keegan's left us... Fuck's sake people, GET OVER IT! Agreed. Don't start Bellamy threads if you don't want to talk about him, simple. I'm very happy not to see the issues raked up again and again, but as long as people continue to spout bollocks about his time here, his worth to the club and the manner of his departure, then forgive me for re-entering the argument. Spot on really. When people stop posting such bollocks, for whatever agenda they have/or refusing to admit they were wrong when they supported his sale [like Gemmil, and one or two other usual culprits], then we will have nothing to correct them about.

NE5 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 A lot of Shepherd's biggest defenders are also Bellamy's. Spot the irony. Spot the absurd generalisation. I had exactly the same thought but couldn't be arsed to reply, tbh. A generalisation it might be, but I would say it covers you and NE5 tbf. Alex and boo boo probably cover you, sunshine. ^-^ Weren't you rebuking Gemmill for not making sensible posts two pages ago? Spot the irony howay man Alex, stop defending your sister !!!
