Thread: hi, i am here now so it's ok

I didn't mean to say you have different nicks on this forum, but you may have the odd one elsewhere, as some of the gents have, and a few others (except Daleyboy, who isn't bright enough to pull it off).

I am quite bored with TV and its predictability but on grazing Teakdoor I find some amusement and interest. Also, there is a degree of genuine sincerity which adds to a mix I find quite interesting.
Admittedly, the standard of grammar can be quite poor and loutishness is allowed a free rein to the possible detriment of reasonable discourse but there is an inherent warmth which more than makes up for those failings.
I do like the repartee betwixt Blake 7, Moog, Butterfly and Scamp and those deliciously dry comments from Ramdom Chances, a man who has yet to reach his potential.
Mr. Dog is to be commended for his endeavours which belie his modest beginnings and I have decided to salute him in the best way I know which is to grace his forum.
The other unnamed posters are not dismissed out of hand through indifference but because to name some and not others would engender ill will and offend when no such thing was intended.
I can be quite spirited but seldom lapse into gratuitous abuse and can be reasonably charitable when it comes to Americans, catholics, homosexuals, lawyers, estate agents and other aberrants.
Also, where is Fon Tok? He was quite arch and knew how to construct a sentance.Pity if he has gone.
Anyway, probably dribbled on too much but hope to be around for a while yet.

Next time, in promulgating your esoteric cogitations, or articulating your superficial sentimentalities and amicable, philosophical or psychological observations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your conversational communications possess a clarified conciseness, a compacted comprehensibleness, coalescent consistency, and a concatenated cogency. Eschew all conglomerations of flatulent garrulity, jejune babblement, and asinine affectations.
Let your extemporaneous descantings and unpremeditated expatiations have intelligibility and veracious vivacity, without rodomontade or thrasonical bombast. Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic profundity, pompous prolixity, psittaceous vacuity ventriloquial verbosity, and vaniloquent vapidity. Shun double-entendres, prurient jocosity, and pestiferous profanity, obscurant or apparent!!

You're no good at this, Old Croc.
My online-dictionary doesn't list half the vocabulary you're pretending to be familiar with.

Before I popped out for my customary gallon of lager I checked TD and saw that this thread was in excess of the replies currently displayed.

Now this disparity could mean any of 3 tings; I was wrong before I left, I am wrong now but too pissed to notice or posts have been excised in my absence. I suspect the latter has occurred but for the life of me I cannot think why since this is a groundbreaking forum right on the zeitgeist of cyber communication which does not entertain cheap censorship for callow political reasons. Or am I wrong?
